Bad White [126]3 years ago

Eminem raps, "And right now there's a steel knife, in my windpipe". This is a metaphor that he uses to symbolize the emotion that are preventing him from communicating his vulnerable truth.

Later in his rap he continues, "Spewing venom in your words, when you spit 'em

You push, pull each other's hair, scratch, claw, bit 'em

Throw 'em down, pin 'em . . ."

This could be considered imagery as it leads the listener to imagine the heartbreaking scene.

In the chorus, Rihanna sings about him watching here "burn". This is yet another metaphor used to symbolize her feeling that he is allowing her to be in pain.

Towards the end of the song Eminem raps, "Baby it was me, maybe our relationship isn't as crazy as it seems

Maybe that's what happens When a tornado meets a volcano . . ."

It could be argued that this presents alliteration due to the repetition of the vowel sound "ay". This alliteration draws attention to the dramatic overall tone.

All throughout the song -- and twice at its end -- Rihanna sings, "I love the way you lie."

Because love is typically assigned a positive connotation, and lying a negative one, this demonstrates irony. In this she is conveying that she continues to love him even in toxicity.

Hope this helps

Answer:

1. imagery

2. parallelism

Explanation:

Imagery actually entails the use of figurative language to appeal to our physical senses. It creates a visual representation in our minds with use of words. The figurative language uses is used to represent actions, objects and even action.

From No. 1, we discover that the speaker uses words like "hear your voices", "those watching tonight", "huddled around radios" to create a mental picture of what was done.

While parallelism refers to the phrases found in a sentence that uses same grammatical structure.

In No 2, we see the speaker's use of parallelism in:

"This is our time, to our people back to work, and open doors of opportunity for our kids; to restore prosperity and promote the cause of peace; to reclaim the American dream and reaffirm that fundamental truth, that out of many, we are one..."

We see how the grammatical structure was used with "to".

The above answers are correct.

the use of successive verbal constructions in poetry or prose which correspond in grammatical structure, sound, metre, meaning, etc.

Parallelism, also known as parallel structure, is when phrases in a sentence have similar or the same grammatical structure. ... Parallelism also serves to give phrases a pattern and rhythm. For example: That's one step for man, one giant leap for mankind
