"Umbrella" by Rihanna feat. Jay-Z - Lyrics

"Umbrella" by Rihanna feat. Jay-Z - Lyrics 


The rhyme scheme is very different than anything that we have learned in class. It jumps all over the place. At first it will have a ABAB scheme and stick with that for a stanza. Then it will switch to a AABB and keep that for another stanza and and then it will for to the refrain and go back to the ABAB. This songs likes to switch around alot. 
Ex:
It's raining, raining
Ooh baby, it's raining, raining
You can always come here to me
Come in to me

It's pouring rain, it's pouring rain
Come in to me, come in to me
It's pouring rain, it's pouring rain
Come in to me, come in to me

This song also keeps coming back to a common theme of the umbrella, the rain, and preparing for the rain. When it has the ABAB it has a happy moment, like the friendship and keeping the oaths. When it goes to a AABB it goes to the sad moments like the raining and preparing for the rain.

Break!1!!11!!!

Wasn't fun at all for me! Well it was good to not go to school for a while but it was very boring. As soon as I got home our family were trying to decide where to go. It comes down to the fact that the whole family cannot go to a place so I was stranded at home. I couldn't leave or do anything. It stunk.

So it came down to me deciding what to do. The first day I had to help my dad with the yard so that covered most of that day. Then the next day I just chilled at the house and played video games. So eventually had to go to soccer practice which was like the first time I went outside. This was my entire break.

Quotes

Ambition is a positive, desirable trait in a person.
 I would strongly agree with this statement because something about a person with ambition just gets me. When I meet someone with an extreme desire, they just have something that I want. A certain energy just radiates of them. A vibe, an energy just that everyone needs and wants. Macbeth becomes a person with ambition when he wants to become the new king. 


Who we are--our essential character and temperament--is fixed and unchangeable.
 It is kind of cliche but people change. It is true though. People gain new experiences and can completely change their whole view on life. In the beginning of Macbeth he says that if chance will king me then chance will crown me but then he goes and kills everyone
