Semester Project Help ^_^
Hi guys! I'm doing a semester project for my English class, and I chose Ayu as my topic. What we have to do is find literary devices in either movies, song lyrics, etc. Obviously mine is song lyrics, but I have a glaring problem; her lyrics are in Japanese, and I'm in an English class. I chose to try and find them in the translations of her songs, but I really don't know which translations to trust, and which are the closest to the actual Japanese lyrics.
It would be a huuuuge help if someone could point me to 15 songs that fit at least one of these devices (each can only be used once): alliteration, consonance, assonance, onomatopoeia, smilie, metaphor, extended metaphor, personification, hyperbole, understatement, allusion, oxymoron, ambiguity, symbol, pun, apostrophe, paradox, theme (direct only), verbal irony, situational irony, dramatic irony, or foreshadowing. (I copied these directly from the rubric ^_^) When you tell me the song names, please DO NOT TELL ME WHICH SONGS MATCH UP WITH WHICH LITERARY DEVICE. I do not want to cheat; I'm just looking for literal, reliable translations of the songs. When I read the lyrics, I can figure it out for myself ^_~ Any help would be greatly appreciated; I know this is a lot to ask, but I could really use some help~!
