Wild as if I was waka’s twin

My life comfortable, like a pair of moccasins

Ali got Parkinson’s, disease, in his prime feel the breeze from the punch

Hear the sound of the crunch, rappers make a good afternoon lunch

And a bunch, of people who don’t think rapping takes talent

Well your wrong, try to tell me any different and I’ll go off like a bomb

I’m unarmed, but ill defeat you with technique

That I develop when I speak

These words, carry on like birds when cold weather makes its way from all the curves

Of life, wordplay is my forte, and if you see life like I do

 We got the same fate, lucky enough for evil, death came too late

Or for the criminal who got a new court date

Living life to the fullest, so let’s get this money, DO NOT wait

No time to contemplate, so what if the people hate

Give me time to retaliate, or give a break, either or

I’m stuck to the bottom like a floor

But we all rather be at the top, on tour

Going around the earth, had a get rich quick scheme since birth

But where ever I land, I’ll take it for what it’s worth

But this cold world aint fair and I never choose this

Ill part diversity like my name is moses

I’m d-rose to this game, the game that I talk about

Is the game that I speak

For those of you confused, I’ll see you next week

The dynamic nature of red and articling the oblique- yet palpable- universal idea communicated through this poem by all the forms it comes in and how it comes. First example of the forms the color “red” are defined and how it’s in cooperated is how the color red can be seen.”They divined the red shadows of leeches that swam in white bowls of water”. The leeches are the cause of the dance red appearing and the form. Another example is when the author describes the look of a soldier in combat.”And red and the soldier who crawled through a ditch of human blood in order to live”. The red is from the wounded soldier from combat, the “red” is the blood that comes from the soldier or the men who lost their lives due to the soldier. Last example of the forms of the color “red” is defined and how it’s in cooperated is when the author describes it with fire.”Red is the share of fire”. When thinking of fire we commonly associate the color red with fire.

Song Analyze

In the song,” Many Men” 50 cent uses brilliant simile, potent rhyming, and colorful religious references to convey the hardship and struggle to be a rising artist who almost died due to celebrity status.

    First example of 50 cent using brilliant simile is when he makes comments towards Muhammad Ali for being the greatest at what he does. “When I rhyme, something special happen every time I’m the greatest, something like Ali in his prime”. 50 cent is saying he is the greatest rapper like Muhammad Ali was the greatest boxer.  Next example of brilliant simile when he compares himself to a very important Italian mob leader.” I’m like paulie in goodfellas, you can call me the don.” 50 cent is saying he is as important to a leader in a very successful organized family mob. Last example of brilliant simile in,”Many Men” 50 cent compares himself to a very important black figure in his day.” Like malcolm by any means, with my gun in my palm.” He saying he is just has violent has Malcolm X when he has a weapon on him.

    Besides brilliant simile, 50 cent also incorporates potent rhyming in the song,” Many Men”. First example of potent rhyming is when he expresses pleasure and hardship.” Some days wouldn’t be special, if it wasn’t for rain Joy wouldn’t feel so good, if it wasn’t for pain”. He rhymes rain and pain in such a way that they contradict either other because rain is a pleasant thing while pain is something not many people to experience. Second example is when 50 cent uses potent rhyming to describe when he safe and when he got hurt.” I walk the block with the bundles
I’ve been knocked on the humble”. Walking the block with the bundles, his gang, and he is gets hurt for not being arrogant. Last example of potent rhyming is when 50 cent talks understanding reality and today’s racism.” I don’t see only God can judge me, ’cause I see things clear Quick these crackers will give my black ass a hundred years.” 50 cent is saying he does the things he does because of today’s justice system and racism; he had to crime sins to succeed in life.

    Brilliant simile and potent rhyming are key concepts in the “Many Men” but so is the colorful religious reference he makes during the course of the song. First example of colorful religious reference is when he says he calls out to god but gets no answers.” Every night I talk to god, but he don’t say nothing back”. 50 cent tries to have a relationship with god, but god denies him due to his sins. Next example of colorful religious reference is when he quotes the bible.” In the Bible it says, what goes around, comes around.” Due to 50 cent’s violent history when he got shot, somebody else got shot as well. Last example of colorful religious references is when he says god judges him.” I don’t see only God can judge me, ’cause I see things clear.” It is said that god is unbiased; therefore to be judged by him you must have committed a lot of sins to do such a thing, which 50 cent believes is justifiable.

    “Many Men” by 50 cent has a lot of intricate apprehension that you really have to analyze so you can find the brilliant similes, potent rhyming, and colorful religious references to truly understand the hardship and struggle to be a rising artist who almost died due to celebrity status.

In the song, “Little Green”  Joni Mitchell uses symbolic imagery, familial characterization, and enhanced personification  to convey the hardship and struggles in her life due to fact that she gave up her child because she couldn’t take care of her.
         Mitchell uses symbolic imagery in her song,” Little Green” in such a way that makes the listeners feel her pain and helps them understand how hard it was for her to give up her child. One example of symbolic imagery is when she sings about good and bad times. “There’ll be icicles and birthday clothes and sometimes there’ll be sorrow. Another example of symbolic imagery is when reader tells about the process of giving up her child.”So you sign all the papers in the family name you’re sad and you’re sorry, but you’re not ashamed.” Mitchell was sad when she had to sign the papers to give her child away but she knew that it was best for her and her child. Last example of Mitchell using imagery is when she tells her father about her child.”So you write him a letter and say,” ‘her eyes are blue.”’ She tells her father about his new grandson.
         Also throughout the song, “Little Green” Mitchell uses familial characterization in her song. One example of    familial characterization is when she picks a name for her child.”Choose her a name she will answer to.” She picks a name for her child that she will answer to her the rest of her life.  Another example of familiar characterization is when she talks to her dad.”So you write him a letter and say...”This shows the bond between father and daughter, she writes to him even though she made a huge mistake. Last example of familiar characterization is when she gets a response from her father.”He sends you a poem and she’s lost to you.” He gives her a poem as a sign of optimism.

Besides symbolic imagery and familiar characterization, Joni Mitchell uses enhanced personification in her song,”Little Green.” First example of enhanced personification is when she compares her child to the moon.”Born with the moon in Cancer.” Her child had a bad destiny.” Next example of enhanced personification is when she compares nights and northern lights.”Like the night when the Northern lights perform.” Nights are very complex. The last example of enhanced personification is when she compares color and spring.”Like the the color of spring is born.”  The color of spring is green and the name of the song is little green therefore its a play on words to explain a bigger picture.
