Poetry is dead but roughly, 124 million people listen to music every day. When someone listens to music or occasionally read a poem do they ever think of a theme? Andra Day and Maya Angleuo have told us within these writings to not let other’s put us down. Although Day and Angleou express their message differently they both display to push through the pain today, tomorrow will be better.

Angleou demonstrates agony while displaying a simile, a comparison between two things using the words …show more content…
In the same fashion, “You may shoot me with your words, /You may cut me with your eyes, / You may kill me with your hatefulness”. The reader feels like they connect to the lyrics because torture cannot last forever. Preforming parallel structure use, same pattern of words to show that two or more words or ideas are of equal importance.
Personification one of many academic languages that Angelou contains in her poem. The author states, “I’m a black ocean, leaping and wide, /Welling and swelling I bear in the tide”. Personification is a device that gives a human characteristic to an animal, object, or idea. Throughout this line, Angelou is the black ocean and this illustrates how her, the wave is rising over all the other water and overpowering the things which cause her hurt. That is one of many devices the author uses.
Repetition is a poetic device that the poet uses during her poem. Angelou claims that “I rise/I rise/ I rise”. Repetition is a literary device that repeats the same words or phrases a few times to make an idea clearer.

For instance, “And move mountains/We gonna walk it out/And move mountains”. Her song Rise Up uses hyperbole to show exaggeration meant to place emphasis. Day is teaching us to stand up for ourselves so we do not suffer through torment.
Day shows the reader a crazy life through the academic language a metaphor. The author demonstrates, “You’re broken down and tired/ Of living life on merry-go-round”. Her life is just going in circles and not excelling anywhere. The use of fresh, engaging, and beautiful language has the reader connect to their life. In addition, the producer uses this because the line sounds pleasing and intriguing. Throughout this song, people including Day learn to overcome adversity.
Another key point is when Day expresses alliteration with the person feeling pain. A an illustration, “And you can’t find the figher/But I see it in you so we gonna walk it out”. Alliteration is the repetition of the same beginning sound in several words in the poem. The importance of the words find and fight are excruciating. Within this song, the artist goal is to pull out the person with sting in them and help them overcome
