Item 2 : poem
Sonnet 75 by William Shakespeare

       So are you to my thoughts as food to life,

Or as sweet season’d showers are to the ground;

And for the peace of you I hold such strife

As ’twixt a miser and his wealth is found;

Now proud as an enjoyer, and anon

Doubting the filching age will steal his treasure;

Now counting best to be with you alone,

Then bettered that the world may see my pleasure;

Sometime all full with feasting on your sight

And by and by clean starved for a look;

Possessing or pursuing no delight,

Save what is had or must from you be took.

Thus do I pine and surfeit day by day,  

Or gluttoning on all, or all away. 

 

Rhetorical devices:

·         Rhyme: life- Strife, Ground – found , anon- alone, treasure- pleasure.....

·         Simile:  you to my thoughts – food to life, sweet seasoned showrs are to the ground......the peace of you – twixt a miser and his wealth is found...........

·         Metaphor : sweet season – spring
Message: The poet expresses his complete pleasure in the presence of his beloved, but says that his devotion resembles that of a miser to his money, filled with anxiety combined with pleasure in his wealth.

Item 3 Song
Firework
Do you ever feel like a plastic bag
Drifting through the wind, wanting to start again?
 Do you ever feel, feel so paper thin
Like a house of cards, one blow from caving in?
Do you ever feel already buried deep?
Six feet under screams, but no one seems to hear a thing
Do you know that there's still a chance for you '
Cause there's a spark in you?
Chorus
(You just gotta ignite the light and let it shine
Just own the night like the 4th of July
'Cause baby, you're a firework
 Come on, show 'em what you're worth
Make 'em go, oh, oh, oh
As you shoot across the sky
Baby, you're a firework
Come on, let your colors burst
Make 'em go, oh, oh, oh
You're gonna leave 'em falling down )
You don't have to feel like a waste of space
You're original, cannot be replaced
If you only knew what the future holds
After a hurricane comes a rainbow
Maybe you're reason why all the doors are closed
So you could open one that leads you to the perfect road
Like a lightning bolt, your heart will blow
And when it's time, you'll know
Chorus
( ......)
Boom, boom, boom
 Even brighter than the moon, moon, moon It's always been inside of you, you, you And now it's time to let it through

Boom, boom, boom Even brighter than the moon, moon, moon Boom, boom, boom Even brighter than the moon, moon, moon

Rhetorical devices:

• Simile : you- plastic bag/ paper thin/ house of cards
• Rhyme: thin – in, rainbow – blow- know

·         Anaphora: do you ever feel

·         Metaphor : you – firework,

·         Irony :  hurricane ( difficulty), rainbow (success/ good thing).......

Message: we should not be afraid to express who you really are in the inside, and not letting your flaws stop you from having a great life
