Through the unwavering following of the Eightfold Path one may reach Nirvana, an end to…

with my father about, Nirvana and Motley Creu. This comparison is driven by how my father is trying to school me on the type of music he likes. These two bands are considered “grunge” and “glam metal”. Personally, I believe Nirvana and Motley Creu are very different.

Each Band or Artist has a way of getting there message across to their intended audience. The band Nirvana used metaphors in their song “Rape Me” to show how the media and friends use and abuse their fame. While the song “The Way I am” by Eminem, can be heard as a diary entry into the life of a celebrity trying to live and be a normal person with the media. The song “The Way I am” is very clear with its use of imagism contrary to “Rape Me”, which could keep listeners guessing on who the aslant…
