I picked Carrie Underwood's " Jesus take the wheel" this song stands out to me. It uses Imagery with the lyrics we get a visual of the struggles that we as people face. Metonymy were the steering wheel representing life. This song is very symbolic lots of emotions throughout. Some of the lines are...

Jesus, take the wheel
take it from my hands
Cause I can't do this on my own

I'm leting go
so give me one more chance
to save me from this road I'm on
Jesus, take the wheel

Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs. A big difference from the Snow white I heard of as a child. I talks about Snow White being young at 13 and a virgin. The queen wanted her dead and her heart cut out and she would salt it and eat it. Anne is very discriptive and ofcourse more violence as opposed to a poisoned apple. It continued thrugh the whole story till the queen died fried up with her iron shoes.
