Today, we are analyzing for “anaphora.” I will play the songs for you (we will watch the lyric videos together).
Then, together we will analyze for instances of anaphora and whether or not it is effective.
Today Was A Fairytale

(I do – you follow along)
Today was a fairytale
You were the prince
I used to be a damsel in distress
You took me by the hand, and you picked me up at six
I wore a dress
You wore a dark gray t-shirt
You told me I was pretty when I looked like a mess
Time slows down
Whenever you're around
Can you feel this magic in the air?
It must have been the way you kissed me
Fell in love when I saw you standing there
It must have been the way
You've got a smile
Takes me to another planet
Every move you make everything you say is right
All that I can say
Is now it's getting so much clearer
Nothing made sense 'til the time I saw your face
Time slows down
Whenever you're around, yeah
But can you feel this magic in the air?
Time slows down
Whenever you're around
I can feel my heart
It's beating in my chest
Did you feel it?
I can't put this down
Oh, oh
Oh, oh, yeah, oh-oh
Don’t You
(We do – you follow along and volunteer answers – be prepared to
justify your responses)
Hey, I knew I'd run into you somewhere
It's been a while, I didn't mean to stare
I heard she's nothin' like me
I'm sure she'll make you happy
But don't you
Don't you smile at me and ask me how I've been
Don't you say you've missed me if you don't want me again
You don't know how much I feel I love you still
So why don't you, don't you?
Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah
Sometimes I really wish that I could hate you
I've tried, but that's just somethin' I can't do
My heart knows what the truth is
I swore I wouldn't do this
But don't you
Don't you say you've missed me if you don't want me again
You don't know how much I feel I love you still
So I walk outta here tonight
Try to go on with my life
And you can say we're still friends
(But I don't wanna pretend)
So if I see you again
Don't you (don't you)
Don't you (don't you), say you've missed me if you don't want me again
You don't (you don't), know how much I feel I love you still
Ah, ah, ah, ah
Don't you, ah, ah, ah
Hey Stephen
(You do – on your own)
Hey Stephen, I know looks can be deceiving
But I know I saw a light in you
And as we walked we would talk
And I didn't say half the things I wanted to
Of all the girls tossing rocks at your window
I'll be the one waiting there even when it's cold
Hey Stephen, boy, you might have me believing
I don't always have to be alone
'Cause I can't help it if you look like an angel
Can't help it if I wanna kiss you in the rain, so
Come feel this magic I've been feeling since I met you
Can't help it if there's no one else
Mmm, I can't help myself
Hey Stephen, I've been holding back this feeling
So I've got some things to say to you (ha)
I've seen it all, so I thought
But I never seen nobody shine the way you do
The way you walk, way you talk, way you say my name
It's beautiful, wonderful, don't you ever change
Hey Stephen, why are people always leaving?
I think you and I should stay the same
'Cause I can't help it if you look like an angel
They're dimming the street lights
You're perfect for me
Why aren't you here tonight?
I'm waiting alone now
So come on and come out
And pull me near
And shine, shine, shine
Hey Stephen, I could give you 50 reasons
Why I should be the one you choose
All those other girls, well, they're beautiful
But would they write a song for you? (Ha-ha)
I can't help it if you look like an angel
If you look like an angel
Mmm I can't help myself
Myself
Can't help myself, I can't help myself
Oh, oh, oh
Almost
(by: Nikita Gill)
The saddest word
in the whole wide world
is the word almost.
He was almost in love.

She was almost good for him.
He almost stopped her.
She almost waited.
He almost lived.
They almost made it.
Tell Your Daughters

(by: Nikita Gill)
Tell your daughters how you love your body.

Tell them how they must love theirs.
Tell them to be proud of every bit of themselves—

from their tiger stripes to the soft flesh of their thighs,
whether there is a little of them or a lot,
whether freckles cover their face or not,
whether their curves are plentiful or slim,
whether their hair is thick, curly, straight, long or short.
Tell them how they inherited

their ancestors, souls in their smiles,
that their eyes carry countries
that breathed life into history,
that the swing of their hips
does not determine their destiny.
Tell them never to listen when bodies are critiqued.

Tell them every woman’s body is beautiful
because every woman’s soul is unique.
