This is just to apologize (Parody)


Authors Note: I made a parody to the parody to This is just to say, by William Carlos Williams.

This is just to apologize
Jackie Henderson

I have sprayed
Your perfume
That was on
The shelf

And witch
You probably
Didn’t want
To smell.

Forgive me
It smelled delicious
So pleasant
And so calming

Without you (Figurative Language)


Without you.
David Guetta


Authors Note: I connected Figurative Language to a poem/song By David Guetta in an essay form. 

Without You.
David Guetta

I wont run, I wont fly
I will never make it by,
Without you

I can't look, I'm so blind 
I lost my heart, I lost my mind 
Without you, 

I am lost, I am vain, 
I will never be the same 
Without you.

Analysis-

Without You, By David Guetta is such a powerful song with meaning and language.  David showed how Figurative Language ads to this poem by the type of personification and hyperbole's he used. He connected his thoughts by writing a poem to this other person that he has strong feelings for. 


 As the author says "I wont run, I wont fly, I will never make it by, without you" He shows that he needs this one specific person to guide him through life.  Just by reading these three stanzas you can tell that his analysis shows personification because he is directing this to one other person.


Throughout the poem the author shows an amount of hyperbole's.  For instance: "I can't look, I'm so blind, I lost my heart, I lost my mind, without you".  The author isn't going to lose his eyesight, he is using sarcasm and hyperbole's to show his figurative language and caring voice.

In conclusion, there are many ways that figurative language shows throughout this poem. The author has his own way of showing and connecting himself to others, because most people understand the message that he is trying to get through.

Ty's Thoughts

Authors note: This is an point of view piece on the novel Stolen.

In the Beginning of the the Book Stolen, by Lucy Christopher, most people can immediately tell that its from the main character, Gemma’s point of view. She formed her thoughts by keeping and updating a diary. She would show her hatred towards the other main character, Ty. Ty drugged and kidnaped Gemma, so automatically Gemma thought Ty was Ignorant, rude, and disrespectful. Has Gemma ever thought about Ty’s feelings and how he might have felt about the whole situation?


Ty had a sad childhood. He didn’t grow up in the right environment. He was involved with drug addicts, alcoholics, and bad influences. So to him, drugging, kidnapping, and raping wasnt all that bad. Ty felt that if he could feel love, it would make up for his horrable childhood.

Gemma thought that Ty I was a horrible person. She cannot bear to stand him. As she wrote in her diary, she thoroughly explained how rude he was to her, how he hurt her, and how he took things from her that she wanted to save for when she was in love with someone. Ty gave her horrable memories that will haunt her for the rest of her life.

Ty needs to realize that forcing love isn't going to make up for your childhood, love is with two people, not one. As the conclusion of Ty's horrible mistake, he soon knows that all Gemma wants is to be let go and back to her family. Ty soon get psychological help and realizes that that's all he needed.
