Allusion, Ambiguity and Allegory

The song "If We Were A Movie" by Hannah Montana shows Ambiguity in the line "Uh oh, there you go again talking cinematic" You can talk cinematically. This means a person can talk in many different ways. Talking in ways to impress.



The song "You and Me Together" by Hannah Montana has examples of Ambiguity in the line "Anyone can have a day when their heart is on their sleeve" Your heart can really be on your sleeve. You can't rip out your heart and put it on your sleeve.

The song "Incomplete" by The Backstreet Boys is a good example of Allusion in the lines "I'm awake but my world is half asleep" Half the world can't be asleep. When the world is asleep the whole thing is out not just half of it.

The song "I knew I Loved You" by Savage Garden has a good example of Allegory in the line "I knew I loved you before I met you" You can't love someone untill you get to know the person.

Copy Cat Songs

The songs that are copy cats are "Heaven" by The Psychedic Furs and the song "Just Like Heaven" by The Cure. They are copy cats because they both talk about Heaven. The songs both talk about love.

Song with Metaphor

The song "Your Love Is" by Paul and Storm is an example of metaphor because the song is comparing love to a butterfly.

Songs with Simile

The song "As Long As You Love Me" by The Backstreet Boys has an example of simile in the line "I don't care who you are where you're from what you did as long as you love me" The song is saying that the person doesn't care about the other person he or she just wants the person to love him or her. This song is a simile because it has as in the song.

Verbal Irony

The song 'Why Can't I' by Liz Phair has Verbal Irony. In the line "Isn't this the part of breakin' up Finding someone else you can't get enough of Someone who wants to be with you too" shows an example of Verbal Irony. This is a good example because she wants to break up but he doesn't.

Paradox

The song 'It's Not Over' by Daughty has an example of a Paradox. In the line "Cause a part of me is dead and in the ground". This is an example of an Paradox because, what part of you can be dead? When you die your whole body dies, not just one part.
