Register to read the introduction… In lines 4-6 she says, “The pain of losing a youthful and yet radiant life, someone who meant so much to us, the end was not supposed to be like this” shows that every family or friend of a victim of kidnapping is hurting, wondering why their beautiful life had to be taken away from them (see figure 2). Also in lines 7-13 she says, “In God’s eyes this was the best way, that he could call her home, laughter that is still ringing in our ears, the smile that we see, the smile that haunts us in our sleep….. she was and is, an angel here on Earth” shows how even though she is dead, her family remembers her as being happy, always laughing, and her innocence. Now except that she is with God, but feel her presence on Earth with them (see figure 2). Lastly, “but we will see her beautiful smiling face again, one of these days…, we will also meet our Creator…, and she’ll be standing at His glorious side, waiting for us to come Home…,” lines 18-22, symbolizes that they soon will see her again along with their Creator and they will be able to reunite once again (see figure …show more content…
Also the song has an appropriate dark feeling, which displays the sadness and anger a kidnapping can cause. In lines 1-4, a mother harshly finds out her son or daughter has been kidnapped after she calls for breakfast. Glass is everywhere from a broken window and she knows what has happened to her child. Lines 5-10 show anger towards the kidnapper. The mother says she is going to find the kidnapper and he will get the justice he deserves, and she is willing to do anything to see that he does. She also asks the kidnapper, “Don’t you know it’s violation?” as if she believes that the kidnapper feels his crime is “normal” behavior (see figure 3). “Never gonna let you take my world from me”, line 12, lets the kidnapper know that the mother is determined to get her child back unharmed. Any mother who has their child taken away from them can relate to what this woman is feeling in this …show more content…

    Change The Game By The Collie Crew Analysis

    It is definitely important to remember Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples’ histories because it helps us understand the hardships they faced as a culture and it can further help us recognise how we can close the gap between Indigenous and non-Indigenous people. Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people share four main world views; culture, land, place and country and relationships. The world view, relationships, is conveyed many times in each of the literary texts by relating back to certain events that Aboriginal elders faced. Three texts that clearly represent the world view relationships are,; Change the Game, by the Colli Crew; Treaty, by Yothu Yindi and Took the Children Away, by Archie Roach. The Colli Crew’s song, Change the Game, is about the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people- mostly describing the people of the past; in the text, it states that they are singing from north Queensland near the border.…

    Death Of An Infant Poem Analysis

    As quote “With witch the babe would claim it’s mother’s ears” (verse 10), can be sentimental to the readers who are mothers, because maybe they can memorize what it felt like to accept their child’s death or the comfort of their child in their life. Also using visualizing statements the author is giving insight onto how she felt during this moment of her life. Another quote “Signet-ring of Heaven” (Verse 15), is placed at the end of the poem, which reveals that the author views a child’s death as innocence, and easy to accept knowing that it’s path is to…

    The Victims Poem Analysis

    Upon initial reading, “The Victims” by Sharon Olds seems to be a poem that paints the picture of a life of abuse; starting from the dawning of the exploitation and arching over into the life of the abused following the maltreatment. In the work, it is made to be believed that the clear victims of the poem are the speaker and their family—which is a rightful and obvious assumption—but there is another victim that is not as prevalent as that of the speaker and their family: the speaker’s father. After a second read, it is made evidently apparent that although the work does focus on the speaker and their family as the victims of the poem, the ideal that the father is also a victim is explored. Since the father is depicted as an abuser, it is seen…

    You Give Love A Bad Name Analysis

    Have you ever heard a song that has impacted your life? Songs are a form of art that allows artists to express their feelings in a form of music. Songs can be interrupted in many ways; some songs have a more literal meaning, while other songs require you to interpret the lyrics to understand the deeper meaning. Artists often use figurative, metaphorical, and poetic elements in their songs to help develop the overall message. The use of figurative terms in a song leaves the interpretation of the song broad and allows the listener to have their own meaning of the song.…

    The Devil's Wife Poem Analysis

    The World’s Wife is a collection of poetry that successfully challenges society’s preconceptions of what it means to be a woman. While the female voice is often silenced, Duffy focuses on the women who were in the midst of male-centric stories in Biblical, mythological and fairytale narratives. Some may argue that the expectations of women are completely subverted in poems such as The Devil’s Wife, in which the maternal and nurturing image of a woman is replaced by the disturbing portrayal of the infamous child serial killer Myra Hindley. Alternatively, some feminine qualities are also explored in this poem, such as a woman’s dependence on men, as demonstrated by Hindley’s twisted, passionate love for Ian Brady.…
