“My faith is shaking but I, got to keep trying, got to keep my head held high.” This quotation from the song “The Climb” by Miley Cyrus shows that even though she is having a hard time with her life, she decides that she will keep pushing through. In “The Climb” by Miley Cyrus, she presents her feelings by using imagery, repetition, and word choice.

The power in Miley’s voice makes you imagine the work put into her climb. She uses her word choice as well as repetition to ingrain the images into your mind and keep your attention the whole time. This made me feel like I was going through the same struggles that she was.

As she repeats lines such as “Always gonna be an uphill battle, sometimes I’m gonna have to lose” she proves her point. As she repeats the chorus, she proves that she accepts that things won’t go her way every time.

Her word choice and powerful voice creates an image in your head about what the speaker feels. Some of the lyrics she chose to use makes you infer that she is not speaking about literally climbing a mountain. But she is singing about the ride, with the ups and downs of the roller coaster of life, and what she has to go through not to break down in the middle of it. The power of her voice that she puts into the words of each lyric is motivational and inspiring. Miley also tells her audience that they can relate to her, which makes for a more enjoyable song.

In “The Climb” By Miley Cyrus, she uses imagery, repetition, and motivational phrases to show people what she feels. The power of Miley’s voice that she puts into the words of each lyric is motivational and inspiring.

To open the pages,
Reading long into the night-
Escaping from the real world,
And all that makes me fright.

To dive into the depths of the story,
Is to travel and relax-
And to stop the thoughts,
That seem like mind attacks.

You are young
And haven’t seen
How the real world
Throughs people around in ways
That haven’t been found.

Life seems hard now,
But it only gets harder,
The only way to get through it,
Is to worker harder and get smarter.

Speak and be heard,
And don’t believe a word,
Of people that judge you,
For the you that you are.

And for all
The hard-hitters,
The sparkle-shunners,
And downers,

Ignore them and think ,
Of all the ways that,
You can be the one and only,
Wonderful YOU!!!

The world’s fruit basket,
America’s finest city,
The golden state,
Surf city and sandy toes.

You sing me to sleep with your soothing waves
Rolling,
Crashing,
Humming,
Barreling,
Yelling,
You carry the tides to the highest point then
pull it back down.

In the heat you cool me down,
Splashing,
Soaking,
Screaming,
Pounding,
Rushing,
You push the sand and seaweed back and forth
back and forth with your currents.

The world’s fruit basket,
America’s finest city,
The golden state,
Surf city and sandy toes.

I am from messy room
From homework and dog toys
I am from the large kitchen,
filled with the clean sent of simple green
I am from the freshly mowed grass
The huge leafy branches of the climbing tree
making shadows on the front porch steps.

I’m from pizzelles and stuffed shells
From the ocean and sandy feet
rinsed in the outdoor shower
before entering the house.

I am from could be worse and nanny dogs
From sit like a nice young lady
and amazing grace
From shows and dress up clothes.

From the dusty photo albums
pulled out to remember the fun times.

I feel like running,
running down the beach,
running to the pier and straight on past it.

I feel like swimming,
swimming in the ocean,
swimming past the reef and looking at the fish.

I feel like dancing,
dancing in the sand,
dancing around the kelp and listening to my music.

I feel like playing,
playing with in the waves,
playing with my dogs and having a good time.

I feel like remembering,
remembering the fun times,
remembering the running and the dancing and the swimming and the playing.

I feeling like loving.
