You'll Always Find Your Way Back Home- Hannah Montana

https://www.azlyrics.com/lyrics/hannahmontana/youllalwaysfindyourwaybackhome.html

I chose "You'll Always Find Your Way Back Home," by Hannah Montana because I personally love this song and it is very inspirational. The song uses anaphora, slant rhyme, and consonance to convey a deeper meaning, which is to go to your family during tough times. They can help you through your issues because they love and care about you.

You can change your style
You can change your jeans
You can learn to fly
And you can chase your dreams
You can laugh and cry
But everybody knows
You'll always find your way back home

 Anaphora is used in this section with the phrase "you can." Anaphora is used to encourage and inspire listeners to reach for the dreams. Anaphora contributes to the overall message of the song, which is to remember that your family can help through any tough times. 


 You can change your style
You can change your jeans
You can learn to fly
And you can chase your dreams
You can laugh and cry
But everybody knows
You'll always find your way back home
Slant rhyme is used in this section of the song with the words "style" and "fly" as well as "knows" and "home." Slant rhyme is used to make the song flow more. Slant rhyme sounds pleasing to the ear by adding a different sound to a song. Slant rhyme contributes the whole song by emphasizing on things a listener can do when they are sad or upset. This is especially prevalent when the artist talks about going "home." 

You wake up. It's raining and it's Monday
Looks like one of those rough days
Time's up!
You're late again so get out the door (get out the door)


Consonance is used in this section of the song with the "a" sound. It is used to emphasize sad and bad words or feelings in this part of the song. Consonance adds to the whole song by focusing on these bad and sad emotions. The song attempts to give advice to those who feel sad or unhappy with their life. This section is in the very beginning of the song, and it leads to the chorus where the artist encourages listeners to go to their family during times of need.

Flash Fiction

   Lilly was nervous for her first day of sixth grade. She had to leave all of her friends behind in Denver, and was worried about making new ones in Los Angeles. Hopefully everyone was nice to her.    Jim was so excited for his first day of sixth grade. He was in middle school now. His brother told Jim all about his awesome middle school experiences. Jim rushed outside just in time to catch the bus.    Lilly walked into her homeroom teacher's classroom five minutes early. She figured it would be good to introduce herself. Mrs. Cunningham was hidden behind at least 40 textbooks. They were labeled "Life Science." Lilly sighed, she hated life science.    Jim waltzed into Mrs. Cunningham's class a minute after the bell rang. His brother had the same sixth grade teacher. He knew she wasn't strict. Jim was laughing with his friends, when he noticed an unfamiliar face sitting next to the window. He walked toward the girl.    Lilly took out her notebook while Mrs. Cu

Describe a time when you were very scared

  During last year's flood, our power had gone out. My family didn't worry because we were used to the power being out. Earlier that day, I had gotten a text from a friend that lives in my neighborhood, saying that there were some men going around trying to rob empty houses. I didn't think anything of the text because something like that had never happened in our neighborhood before. I remember it being pretty dark outside, so it must have been around eight pm. I was sitting on the couch with my dog when I heard a bang on the door. Then I saw a shadow pop up in front of the door, along with more banging. My mom rushed my sister and I into her room, while my dad went to investigate.    My mom manually set off the alarm in an attempt to scare away the attempted burglar. I was supposed to call 911. It was my first time every having to call the police. My sister was freaking out, and I was shaking holding the dog. It took the police almost twenty minutes to get to our house, d

All About Me

   My name is Grace and this is my first year at Episcopal. My favorite color is pink, and my favorite animal is a flamingo. In my free time I like to draw or do projects. My favorite food is spaghetti, but my favorite meal is dessert. I have one younger sister who is in sixth grade. I also have a toy poodle named Lucy, and she is a drama queen. If you leave a pillow or a fuzzy blanket out, you better be sure she will be laying on it when you come back. She also loves to steal your chick-fil-a nuggets when you aren't looking, but she can be super sweet when she wants to be.    This summer we went to Canada. It was my first time going to Montreal. We went up in the mountains, and it was so beautiful. The weather was amazing; one day we woke up and it was 45 degrees! There was so little humidity, that it made me not want to go home. We went white water rafting, zip lining, and rock climbing, but my favorite was white water rafting. The town we were in was actually a popular ski reso
