Song

The song "Umbrella" by Rihanna has many poetry terms shown throughout the book. For example I noticed and alliteration in the song. The line "Good girl, gone bad" repeats the g sound three times in the beginning of the words. Another example is when she sings, " when the world has dealt it's cards." This is an example of personification. Personification is when animals, abstract things are referred to as if they are humans. In this case, The world is being referred to as a human because it is dealing cards.
Rihanna uses this poetry to express her devotion for someone. She shows thing when she sings lines like, "we'll never be worlds apart" and "stick it out to the end."  She sings this song in first person revealing that she will always be there for Jay-Z for whatever and through whatever.

  1. I never noticed that this song has personification until now. It's really cool how you think you know a song, but then after annotating, you learn so much more that you did not know about. Great work

  2. I analyzed "Umbrella" too! I found a lot of the same poetry aspects except the repetition of "g". Good work!
