I have this project due tomorrow and I hadn't done it the past couple days because I was sick with strep throat, now I'm heading back tomorrow and I'm stuck on this part in my essay. I have to analyze the poetic elements of both this song below and a poem such as theme, symbolism, imagery, personification, figurative language, diction, irony, etc., not all of those but a select few. And my opening paragraph has to be a thesis sentence. I'm not asking you guys to write the whole thing for me, that's ridiculous, I just need help finding some poetic elements and finding out what the heck a thesis statement is suppose to be because my head is killing me and I can't think...so here's the song
If you only knew
I'm hanging by a thread
The web I spin for you
If you only knew
I'd sacrifice my beating
Heart before I'd lose you
I still hold onto the letters
You returned
I swear I've lived and learned
[Chorus]
It's 4:03 and I can't sleep
Without you next to me I
Toss and turn like the sea
If I drown tonight, bring me
Back to life
Breathe your breath in me
The only thing that I still believe
In is you, if you only knew
If you only knew
How many times I counted
All the words that went wrong
If you only knew
How I refuse to let you go,
Even when you're gone
I don't regret any days I
Spent, nights we shared,
Or letters that I sent
[Chous]
If you only knew
I still hold onto the letters
You returned
You help me live and learn
[Chorus]
I still believe in you
Oh, if you only knew
and here's the poem.
When the sun is high in the afternoon sky
You can always find something to do
But from dusk till dawn as the clock ticks on
Something happens to you
In the wee small hours of the morning
While the whole wide world is fast asleep
You lie awake and think about the boy
And never ever think of counting sheep
When your lonely heart has learned its lesson
You'd be his if only he'd call
In the wee small hours of the morning
That's the time you miss him most of all
When your lonely heart has learned its lesson
You'd be his if only he'd call
In the wee small hours of the morning
That's the time you miss him most of all
Thanks to anyone who helps me in the slightest, I very much appreciate it.
