Reviewing Figures of Speech

Hello guys!

Evandro asked me to post here some examples of the figures of speech from your group presentations, to help you studying! Don't miss it! ;)

Oasis - Up in the Sky

Hey you! Up in the sky (apostrophe)
Learning to fly (metaphor)
Tell me how high
Do you think you'll go
(...)

Lady Gaga - Bad Romance

I want your ugly
I want your disease (anaphora)
I want your everything
As long as it's free
(...)

Death Cab for Cutie - Soul Meets Body

I want to live where soul meets body (personification)
And let the sun wrap its arms around me (personification)
And bathe my skin in water cool and cleansing (polysyndeton)
And feel, feel what it's like to be new
(...)

Corinne Bailey Rae - Put your Records on

Three little birds sat on my window
And they told me I don't need to worry (personification)
Summer came like cinnamon, so sweet (synesthesia)
Little girls double-dutch on the concrete (metonymy)

U2 - I still haven't found what I'm looking for

(...)
I have spoken with the tongue of angels
I have held the hand of the devil (antithesis)
It was warm in the night
I was cold as a stone (antithesis)
(...)

Evanescence - Bring me to life

How can you see into my eyes like open doors (comparison)
Leading you down into my core
Where I've become so numb
Without a soul (hyperbole)
My spirit's sleeping somewhere cold (alliteration)
Until you find it there and lead it back home

Bob Dylan - Knockin' on Heaven's Door

Knock, knock, knockin' on Heaven's door
Knock, knock, knockin' on Heaven's door (onomatopoeia)
Knock, knock, knockin' on Heaven's door
Knock, knock, knockin' on Heaven's door

AC/DC - Back in Black

Back in black, I hit the sack
I've been too long, I'm glad to be back
Yes I'm let loose from the noose (euphemism)
That's kept me hangin' about
(...)

Bowling for Soup - High School never ends

Four years you think for sure
That's all you've got to endure
All the total dicks (metonymy)
All the stuck up chicks
So superficial, so immature
Then when you graduate
You take a look around and say: HEY WAIT
This is the same as where I just came from
I thought it was over
Oh, that's just great (irony)

Bon Jovi - Always

This Romeo is bleeding
But you can't see his blood (paradox)
It's nothing but some feelings
That this old dog kicked up
(...)

Well, I think that's enough! You're doing very well in classes! :)
