2: Lyrics
We are the world
There comes a time
When we heed a certain call
When the world must come together as one.
There are people dying
Ooohhh and it's time to lend a hand
To life, the greatest gift of all.
We can't go on
Pretending day by day
That someone somewhere will soon make a change.
We are all a part of
God's great big family
And the truth
You know
Love is all we need.
We are the world
We are the children
We are the ones who make a brighter day
So let's start giving.
There's a choice we're making
We're saving our own lives.
It's true we make a better day
Just you and me.
Well
Send them your heart
So they know that someone cares
And that life will be stronger and free
As God has shown us by turning stone to bread
And so that we all must lend a helping hand
We are the world
We are the children
We are the ones who make a brighter day
So let's start giving
There's a choice we're making
We're saving our own lives
It's true we make a better day
Just you and me.
When you're down and out
And there seems no hope at all
But if you just believe
There's no way we could fall
Well now now now let us realize
Ohhhh that a change can only come
When we stand together as one yeah yeah yeah yeahh
We are the world
We are the children
We are the ones who make a brighter day
So let's start giving.
There's a choice we're making
We're saving our own lives.

Just you and me.

Items 3: Picture
Rhetorical devices:
-
Pun:
leadership- which is joined by two words: leader and ship. Leader is the man in
the picture and “ship” has the nearly same pronunciation with “ sheep”.
Message:
The leadership is an
important thing that decides whether something is successful or not. Therefore,
leader must be a really brilliant person.
Message: The overdevelopment of technology makes people forget the other work
by hand. In other words, people nowadays abuse of technology too much, they
seem to forget the other use of their hand.

I disagree with you about some points:
Trả lờiXóaI think on first and second item, author did not use the "parallelism".
The message of 1st item: inside each of us there are always two existing sides: evil and good ; they fight against each other. however, it is up to you to becone a bad or good one.
About your story:
Trả lờiXóaIn my opinion, you should make the "message" more condensed. I suggest: "The fact that a person becomes a good man or a bad one depends on every action he do every day".
(Furthermore, the brief answer the elder gave his grandchildren - "The one you feed" will win - is very interesting to me. This is because the answer is very condensed, and it reflects deeply the story's message.)
About your second item:
- "Heart" in "Send them your heart" is the symbol of love.
- "turning stone to bread" is a kind of overstatement.
About your third item:
From my point of view, you should reconsider the message you infer from the image. It is not really relevent. In addition, this image also involves irony.
