Next week you're going to analyze a song.

Today, you're going to find and submit the names and artists of 3 songs that you think are full of figurative language. Maybe the song has metaphors, alliteration, similes, sensory details. etc.

Here is a really good example: Katy Perry's Firework

Do you ever feel like a plastic bag (simile)
Drifting through the wind, wanting to start again?
Do you ever feel, feel so paper thin
Like a house of cards, one blow from cavin' in? (simile)
Do you ever feel already buried deep?
Six feet under screams, but no one seems to hear a thing (metaphor)
Do you know that there's still a chance for you?
'Cause there's a spark in you (metaphor)

Look at your playlist, or search up some songs that you might be interested in analyzing.
