4/14 Statement Rsponse

Statement: Sometimes you have to do things other people consider wrong to get ahead.


I agree with this. The success of one is built on the failures of many others, and to gain power one must normally have to do some plotting, lying, backstabbing, and other unsavory things. This is related to Macbeth because Macbeth himself is about to kill King Duncan in order to rise to the title of King. Assassination is pretty wrong, but Macbeth's ambition and desire to rise up overpowers is moral conscience.

Animal Collective's "Summertime Clothes"

http://www.azlyrics.com/lyrics/animalcollective/summertimeclothes.html

Song is "Summertime Clothes" by Animal Collective.

This song uses anaphora a lot, mostly to give it a cool pre-Avey-going-insane-and-the-group-making-pop-music-aimed-at-the-lowest-common-denominator-of-fans style AnCo rhythm. "Kissing the wind through my window screen" is apostrophe, I think. It also uses personification in places. I really don't know how to expand further than this. 
Ok ok, got it. so the whole song represents AnCo's innocence and enthusiasm to make great experimental psych pop but because Avey looked into the future and saw the abomination that was Centipede Hz, and also the chick that nearly broke up the group whose name I forgot. She's also an artist, but I refuse to listen to any of her music because of what she did to Avey. It's like she didn't even listen to Merriweather Post Pavilion. Anyway so he saw all of that and wrote this song. Walking around during the summer represents all the psych pop goodness, and his desire to walk around with "her" is his passion to make music.  It could also be a simple song about walking around in our summertime clothes. But I like my idea with time wizards Avey Tare and Panda Bear. Ooh, it counts as both a symbol and a metaphor. Avey so smart. The song also uses end rhyme, but you said not to list that so I don't know. 

Poem "ten outta ten"

Bing bang

ballah Kow Zo.

You know what I know

and I don't grow

flowers.

Ooh aah

so unique.

So progress

So mystique.

Mystique wasn't used right.

what a shame.

If I were famous

This would probably 

be much more expensive.

Let's make a price.

But but but

You will soon forget

All this and that

the CIA funded modern art to combat communism.

Never mind that was a joke.

No it wasn't.

Gaude Mater Polonia

is the only Polish phrase I know

God bless the Poles

May they always show

True true Polish courage

Teutons be mad.

This poem, titled "ten outta ten", used Assonance, Cacophony, Onomatopoeia, and Anaphora.
