"Ozymandias" by Percey Shelley and "Viva la Vida" by Coldplay have many similarities.
One of them is that they both have alliteration. For example, in "Ozymandias" it says,
"Round the decay of that colossal wreck, boundless and bare the lone and level sands
stretch far away." This shows alliteration because the words boundless and bare are
intentionally starting with b. And in "Viva la Vida" it says, "It was a wicked and wild
wind." Alliteration is shown because the words are consistently starting with w. And thus
we see, in the song "Viva la Vida" by Coldplay and the poem "Ozymandias" by Percey
Shelley, the are similarities, like alliteration.
"Ozymandias" by Percey Shelley and "Viva la Vida" by Coldplay also have their
differences. One of the differences is their tone. For example, the tone of "Ozymandias"
is more humbling and thought provoking because the choice of words that Percy Shelley
uses makes you think more. Also, in "Viva la Vida" the tone is more regretful and loss
because it says "And that was when I ruled the world" which shows he lost his kingdom. In
conclusion, in the poem "Ozymandias" by Percey Shelley and the song "Viva la Vida" by
Coldplay have their differences as well.
