Over the summer I listened to Declan McKenna’s song Brazil on repeat. While the song displays an enthusiastic or a good feels vibe, it was actually created to shed a light on the social and economic inequalities throughout the country of Brazil. Declan McKenna talks about important values of the country and how the people should be proud, but states how the people living in Brazil have become “Faithless now,” and still over time nothing is being done about the state of the country. He also explains how people are wanting to be in Brazil, however being in Brazil is causing people to die. “The people are dying to get on TV,” exemplifies the countries call for help to see change in the country. Declan McKenna consistently used the device of assonance throughout the song, as a great amount of words in each sequence use the eee sound. Although the song does not have a strict rhyme scheme, the pattern ABAB can be seen most commonly. Ultimately, the choice of an ABAB rhyme scheme, is a creative decision to best convey the message he is spreading, to evoke emotions of the listeners, and create a memorable piece of music. The tone can be described as somewhat sarcastic. The song is addressing serious issues, such as corruption, inequality, and social problems in Brazil, but it does so using irony.

Throughout the song, Declan McKenna uses joyful and exaggerated language to highlight the absurdity of the situations he's singing about.

For example, in the chorus, he sings: “Oh, we can try to understand The New York Times' effect on man Whether you're a brother or whether you're a mother You're stayin' alive, stayin' alive”

Here, he appears to be commenting on the influence of Western media on global perceptions and the way it can overshadow the real issues faced by people in places like Brazil and the country needs a proper use of media to help them. Overall, the theme of "Brazil" speaks on his frustration with a sarcastic humour, using satire to shed light on serious issues while keeping the listener engaged with its catchy melody and clever wordplay.

My favourite comedic element in this play was when Puck turned Bottoms head into an ass (donkey). Throughout the play there were many attempts at comedy that did not come across as funny now than it might have previously, but this scene was easily understandable and was comical.

“To front only the essential facts of life, and see if I could not learn what it had to teach, and not, when I came to die, discover that I had not lived. I did not wish to live what was not life, living is so dear.” Page 1317, Paragraph 1

Throughout he is striving for simplicity and taking away anything burdening. In this meme a man is shown in the woods, but has not gotten rid of the less simple things in life, for example social media.

Thoreau explains that he worries about reaching the end of life and having a realization that he hasn’t truly lived. In the meme the man is shown standing over the edge of a cliff which could represent the end of life. But it is funny because he takes a photo and sends out a #Majestic.

Thoreau also explains how he enjoys living purposefully. The meme states “I brought along a few things in case I get bored,” which does not show living purposefully or authentically. The Meme also states “There I experienced the profound joy of solitude,” which can be seen as mocking Thoreau as the man is still enjoying life with complexities present.
