Music Daze

Authors Note: I analyzed two poems "Rainy Daze" and "Out Loud Music" Both used figurative language to enhance their pieces. Using tone and mood to make their poems both intriguing and interesting.

Most of the time people are no longer interested  into a book after the 1^st chapter.  Whether the plot is boring of the theme isn’t their thing or the figurative language isn’t enough.  That’s exactly the opposite of what happened in both “Rainy Daze” by Cindy Rodgers, and “Out Loud Magic”. These poems both use figurative language to enhance the tone, mood, and interests in each poem.

In both “Rainy Daze” and “Out Loud Magic”, imaginary and figurative language used to make the text more dramatic and add desire.  For instance in the quote “ Her eyes flashed with lightning and sorrow” , it seems like the author is trying to add some imagery to replicate the way this girl is feeling; it also builds up drama which makes this piece interesting. Also , some metaphors and repeating strong words  were used in place of some of the usual word choice.  The repeating were used to the advantage  to the author in “Out Loud Magic” with really emphasizing the order of the family’s actions , and is also mixed with personification , giving it extra significance.

In addition to adding drama, the two authors used two types of imagery to add importance of the events that take place. Making it easy and interesting to read. In “Rainy Daze” the imagery made the authors tone sad and discouraged , very easy to understand. Also in the poem “Out Loud Music” the personification made the tone seemed like they were ready to conquer anything  and  everything. Making the pieces very interesting!

Also the figurative language in these pieces made the tone through they also made me feel , as the reader, feel certain ways while reading.  For example, the different personifications from “Rainy Daze” makes me feel like If I’m having one bad day, it doesn’t mean it’s a bad life. Just like the girl. But in “Out Loud Music “strong word choice and personifications made it a very powerful piece, giving you the feeling that if you have a dream , you can always conquer that dream at any time. I gained  different moods from each piece.

In both, “Out Loud Music” and “Rainy Daze” figurative language made each poem sound a lot more interesting and anything  boring. Also changing the mood and tone of the reader. So maybe, quality figurative language, instead of yawning and being bored you can be smothered by these great poems being pressed to your face, begging to be read.
