a. What is the central theme or message of the song/poem? Cite specific lines to support this.
b. Cite the lines that illustrate the use of figurative language. Name the figure of speech used.
a. Do you agree with the images that the writer used? What other images would be appropriate?
b. What is the effect of the use of figures of speech on the message of the song/poem? Does it help or hinder? Explain your answer.
