Find five literary devices (imagery, metaphors, simile, alliteration, oxymoron, irony, or any other one you find) in the song lyrics from "Love The Way You Lie" by Eminem and Rihanna. Explain what you feel each means.

Eminem raps, "And right now there's a steel knife, in my windpipe". This is a metaphor that he uses to symbolize the emotion that are preventing him from communicating his vulnerable truth.

Later in his rap he continues, "Spewing venom in your words, when you spit 'em

You push, pull each other's hair, scratch, claw, bit 'em

Throw 'em down, pin 'em . . ."

This could be considered imagery as it leads the listener to imagine the heartbreaking scene.

In the chorus, Rihanna sings about him watching here "burn". This is yet another metaphor used to symbolize her feeling that he is allowing her to be in pain.

Towards the end of the song Eminem raps, "Baby it was me, maybe our relationship isn't as crazy as it seems

Maybe that's what happens When a tornado meets a volcano . . ."

It could be argued that this presents alliteration due to the repetition of the vowel sound "ay". This alliteration draws attention to the dramatic overall tone.

All throughout the song -- and twice at its end -- Rihanna sings, "I love the way you lie."

Because love is typically assigned a positive connotation, and lying a negative one, this demonstrates irony. In this she is conveying that she continues to love him even in toxicity.

Hope this helps

in the problem you wrote said that the taxi charges $0.070 per mile(which would be 7 cents per mile), but then in your suggested equation you have it as $0.70 per mile (which is 70 cents per mile).

the latter seems more realistic, so i will assume that the taxi costs $5.00 and charges $0.70 per mile with tolls costing an additional $3.50. and it asks you to find how far you can travel on $36.50.

let x the number of miles traveled. since the taxi charges $0.70 per mile, multiplying this by the miles traveled (x) will yield the cost of the taxi ride as far as how far it took you. then adding this amount to the cost of the taxi ($5.00) and the additional cost for the tolls ($3.50) will give you the total cost of the taxi ride ($36.50)

that is,

            (0.70)x + 5.00 + 3.50 = 36.50

adding the like terms on the left-hand side of this equation, we arrive at the following:

            (0.70)x + 8.50 = 36.50

subtracting 8.50 from both sides of the equation, we get:

            (0.70)x = 28.00

to solve for x, divide both sides of the equation above by the coefficient of x (that being, 0.70):

            x = 40

thus, you can travel up to 40 miles on $36.50
