Honey Bee is personally one of my favorite songs. I never really noticed how poems and songs are so closely related until you told us. When i looked at the lyrics for Honey Bee i noticed way more things then I hear when i'm listening. It really surprised me that you could make a poem out of a song.
There were metaphors and lots of the lines would rhyme. I noticed that in the 1st verse the first two lines would rhyme then the last two words of each verse would also rhyme. Also i noticed that they have a lot of line breaks but not really any enjambments. Usually songs like to repeat things/words a lot too.
While I haven't heard of this song or the artist, I agree with your statement that poems and songs are closely related. I had a song a=in mind that I thought would be good for analysis but I wasn't sure if it was "school-appropriate" so I just analyzed one of her examples.
ReplyDeleteCaroline, I don't learn much about the song you chose from reading this. There are no examples, no quotations, and, really, no analysis. The instructions stated: "Your analysis should identify the techniques being used, how they are used, and what effect they create." Here, you name a couple of techniques, but one is rhyme, which I asked you not to focus on, one is a technique you say is not being used, and you don't give us any examples of metaphors.
