Song Analyzation
"Legendary Lovers"
By Katy Perry
Katy Perry uses vivid detail to create a specific scene.
Poetic Devices Used:
Assonance-
"I never knew I could see something so clearly looking through my third eye
Never knew karma could be so rewarding and bring me to your life
Maybe this is the beginning of something so magical tonight (oh, oh)"
Alliteration-
"tropical temperature"
"come closer"
"never knew"
"see something so"
"legendary lovers"
Euphony is used a lot throughout the entire song.
Sibilance-
"Maybe this is the beginning of something so magical tonight"
"Underneath the blood orange sun
Say my name like a scripture"
Throughout this song, there is also end rhyme, internal rhyme, and slant rhyme.
The rhyme scheme for the first three stanzas is the following: AABBCCCADAD
Simile-
"Say my name like a scripture
Keep my heart beating like a drum"
Anaphora-
"I" is repeated throughout the song.
"Never knew" is used multiple times at the beginning of many stanzas.
"Legendary lovers, we could be legendary
Legendary lovers, we should be legendary"
"Go down in history
Go down together, into infinity, forever"
Speaker-female lover
Occasion-possibly looking back on the time spent with her lover; maybe remembering how she imagined it, similar to a fairy tale; like Romeo and Juliet in her mind
Audience-male lover
Purpose-maybe to remind her lover of what they had
Subject-love
Tone-sweet, passionate, positive, mystical

Research Paper Rough Draft
I am confident that my rough draft is plenty long enough, but I am not sure that all of the in-text citations are formatted correctly. My paper also has many facts, but I am unsure if some of the facts are useful in backing up my thesis. Also, even if we are just summarizing information from a source, do we still need to cite it in the text?
I found that actually writing the draft was fairly easy for me. The research, on the other hand, was slightly more difficult. Originally I had only had primary sources, so I had to find a few reliable secondary sources for my project. I found a great site that had a lot of useful information for the background of my report. It had facts about Hitler, World War I and WW II, The Holocaust, and some events after the Holocaust.

Sneaux Week Free Post
While outside looked like a wintery wonderland, I stayed inside. I focused on getting my homework done early and spending the rest of the day relaxing. It was an amazing opportunity to get caught up on sleep, so that I would be well-rested for today and its many assignments. For Spanish, the emergency assignment was to make churros, which I enjoyed a lot. Despite their delicious taste, I did sort of almost burn down the house in the process of making them. Not really, but my mom was kind of freaked out about the fact that they were not home and I was going to be frying something in about two inches of highly flammable oil.
Anyway, this break was fantastic! The only thing that could have made it any better would have been if the teachers had posted all of their assignments at the beginning of the break. Certain days I felt very productive and was eager to get all of my homework done. Once I checked online, though, I realized that there were no more assignments for that day. Feeling a wave of relief, I further developed my relationship with Netflix as I watched about thirty shows. I slept in late, only to wake up and find that a hundred (I'm exaggerating) more assignments had been posted with time limits! So, I rushed to finish my homework on time, and basically watched Netflix the rest of the day. :)
