Shall I compare you to fresh fruit in the fields
Like sweet strawberries in rows
Growing big and strong like shields
As the leaves sway when the wind blows
Sometimes you get bruised or squished
But you kept your head up high
You and I wished
To never say goodbye
The book Going Over is suspenseful and heart-warming; written by Beth Kephart. It tells about two teenagers -Ada and Stefan- who are crazy about each other and are separated by the Berlin Wall. While Stefan lives a “sad” life in an apartment bunker, Ada lives a somewhat, more easy going life. Held together by love and trust of each other, they will find a way to be together.
“Caterpillar in the tree, how you wonder who you’ll be.” The song, “Butterfly fly away” by Miley Cyrus, is about become who you are based on how you grew up or were raised. The way Miley uses metaphors and personification help me really feel and understand the song.
“Don’t you worry, hold on tight. / I promise you there will come a day / Butterfly fly away,” is an example of a metaphor to show how she compared herself to a butterfly. By saying “butterfly fly away,” it means that she’s growing up and leaving home. She’s done relying on her parents. Using metaphors help the listeners get a feel of what she’s trying to say.
By Miley using personification, it gives the song a little character. “And yes dear, you don’t understand / It’s not anything we planned”. This line in the song is showing that she’s talking to her self but as a butterfly, hence personification. It shows personification because she’s talking to something as if it were a person.
This song is very sweet and sentimental. I feel that it’s very comforting, talking about the bond between father and daughter. “Kept me safe and sound at night /
little girls depend on things like that.” These two lines show how they bonded each and every day. In each line she describes everything so well; you can feel what she feels and that’s one of the things I really like about this song and many of her other songs.
“Butterfly fly Away” by Miley Cyrus uses metaphors, personification, and feelings to show her thoughts about her childhood. This is important because with out having them, not only this song, but other songs wouldn’t be as important to people.
> Looking through the cave
Out onto the reflection
Of sun on the water
> Tall trees with long leaves
The sun peering through the leaves
Creating sunlight
> The smell of pine wood
Fills forests room with its scent
Burning in the fire
I Stand At The Top
Looking Out On Top Of The City
With The Cold Breeze
Blowing Through My Hair
I Feel My Heart Beat Different Then Ever Before
A Sudden Blanket Of Warmth Wraps Around Me
Lean Forward, Look Down, Close My Eyes
A little fly
Lighting up the night
Like a thousand city lights
In the quiet field
Buzzing around like
Little bumble bees
Buzz around flowers
On a sunny day
The firefly flew away
But it came back
With a story to tell
Getting older is hard
it’s part of growing up
Life is tough
you will struggle
and there will be bumps in the road
but you will get through them
There will be thing you don’t want to do
and people you don’t like
but that’s life
Now when you get older
you will see that after all of these things
life is a beautiful thing
full of wonderful surprises
I am from late nights
from cries down the hall
and from little foot stomps
I am from the calming sounds at night
and the soothing ones in the morning
I am from long family dinners on Sundays
and from short meaningful talks with aunts and uncles
I am from cooking with grandma
and from the sweet smells of cookies
I am from cold winter nights
and hot summer days
I am from fire works
and from frightening pumpkins in October
I am from knowing what family is
and from learning to love everybody
I am from making mistakes
and from being forgiven
from growing up
Fluffy, kind but daring
the happiest place on earth
isn’t always the happiest,
but is always magic kingdom
This land of fairies and
the fairest of them all
has a dark side of evil
that no one will ever see
No one can see past your glitter and ears,
they put on a show for all to see
and a fake smile
but when the light go out
so will you
We were kids
We sat on the old stone wall everyday
We watched the sun set
Onto the water
We were young
We thought we knew was love was
We fought late at night
Until we could fight anymore
But we didn’t know how great it actually was
We didn’t know that we could make it work
after all the nights of fighting
We didn’t know that we’d be sitting here today
Holding each other as tight as were are
We didn’t know that this would be endless love
