While evaluating this song, I noticed many poetic devices. I first
noticed an internal rhyme with "Let it rain, I hydroplane in the bank"
These lyrics come up in Jay-Z’s part of the song. Also, there
was assonance when Jay-Z says, “comin’ down like the Dow Jones”, with the
repetition of the O sound.
In Rihanna’s portion of the song, there is a repetition of “under
my umbrella,…” which creates an assonance with the repetition of the U’s at the
beginning of the words under and umbrella. Also, the umbrella could be used as
a symbol of a good-standing relationship. I found this song to be pretty easy to analyze, and had a deeper meaning past umbrella, ella, ella, ay, ay, ay.
Hey Grace! I really like your last sentence about the deeper meaning haha. You seem to really have done a good job understanding this song :)
ReplyDeleteHey Grace, I fully understand now how this song has many poetic features to it. I can really see how it enhances the song.
