Post 19 A metaphor in a song lyric.

A group named T.L.C  made a song called Waterfalls. " Don't go chasing water falls". Which means people should not be chasing things that is just no meant for them or bad for them. " Please stick to the rivers and the lakes that you used to". You should just be yourself and do not change. Both of these are metaphors because you can't actually chase waterfalls or stick to rivers and lakes.

Post 18 images 2 colleagues' discussed in their posts and how mine was different.

Ryan Phillips stated, The definition of imagery is language that addresses the senses." He said that images can be used or described different things. Willis example of imagery was a song by Jay z called "Can I Live". " It gets tedious, So I keep one eye open like CBS, You see me stressed right?" He explains the imagery of this song and says that imagery is used for entertainment. The difference between Ryan and Willis is that my definition of imagery is different than their definition which, I explain that imagery depends on the individual on what they think a certain thing mean, but I do agree with both of them.

Post 17 Why images can mean so many different things?

Images can mean different depending on the individual idea on what they think that a certain poem, story or songs mean. In the poem Phenomenal Woman by Maya Angelou someone could interpreted the poem different than me depending on their perspective. Personally, I think that the poem is describing a woman that is confident in herself and does not care what anyone else says."Cause I'm a woman, Phenomenally, Phenomenal, That's me."  My favorite song is Beautiful by Christina Aguilera which mean everyone is beautiful in their own way despite their sexuality, or how they look. " You are beautiful in every single way..".

Dimetri Carter explains how myths is a perception and how it explains the things that are unexplained. He read the poem " Hazel Tell LaVerne" which he explains that the frog is trying to become a prince, and the only way he can is by kissing the maid. I agree with him that the theme of this poem is based on true love. The story is also an revised story of the original story of the frog kissing a maid to try to break the spell.
Alexia Caul-Leonard describes the mythological elements as poem and story that are similar to myths. She talks about two poem which one is "Back when all was continuous chuckles" which talks about ghost and creepy noises. The second poem is " Hazel Tell LaVerne" since this stories is told in many different ways and aspects this poem would be consider a myth. 

Post 15 mythological element

Usually we think of myths as imaginary gods that are powerful and perform magic and other things. In the poem "Hazel Tell LaVerne" written by Katharyn Howd Machan is revised version of the princess frog. "Myths can be a window into a culture's deepest perceptions about itself because myths attempt to explain what otherwise seems unexplainable(2042)." The poem represents that a talking frog that want a maid to kiss him in hopes of becoming a princess. Hope is the main thing in this poem.

Post 13 Theme about my favorite poem

My favorite poem is Maya Angelou which is called Still I Rise. Still I Rise theme is mainly about strength. No matter what your challenges in life may be you can still rise and stay strong. The poem discuss about people will lie on, jealousy, and depression."You may shoot me with your words,You may cut me with your eyes,You may kill me with your hatefulness, But still, like air, I’ll rise." No matter how much hate someone may have towards you; you can still rise despite their negativity.
