https://padlet.com/rayb5/jy7d74purkv4 Analyze the song for its underlying meaning and devices that help to convey that meaning. en-us 2019-03-12 12:03:35 UTC 2021-09-15 17:39:47 UTC hello@padlet.com https://padlet.com/rayb5/jy7d74purkv4/wish/1743474931 We noticed that the lyric "baby you're a firework" is a metaphor for a person who is special, shining, brilliant, and beautiful. 

The line "Make 'em go, ah, ah, ah as you shoot across the sky-y-y." This line is saying to be confident and not be afraid to stand out and be who you are. ]]> 2021-09-15 17:10:41 UTC https://padlet.com/rayb5/jy7d74purkv4/wish/1743474931 3085792 https://padlet.com/rayb5/jy7d74purkv4/wish/1743481816 The line "If you only knew what the future holds, After a hurricane comes a rainbow" is a metaphor which helps convey the underlying meaning that even if it doesn't feel like it, things will eventually get better. ]]> 2021-09-15 17:13:16 UTC https://padlet.com/rayb5/jy7d74purkv4/wish/1743481816 https://padlet.com/rayb5/jy7d74purkv4/wish/1743542864 By: Graham, James, Lexi, and Yoko 

The several examples of similes and metaphors found throughout the song represent common things that show the listener that there is still hope for them to become who they were always meant to be and express their true selves. ]]> 2021-09-15 17:35:00 UTC https://padlet.com/rayb5/jy7d74purkv4/wish/1743542864 https://padlet.com/rayb5/jy7d74purkv4/wish/1743548067 The song "Fireworks" by Katy Perry contains the lyrics, "Just own the night like the 4th of July" alluding to the overall theme of being independent and confident in yourself. ]]> 2021-09-15 17:36:49 UTC https://padlet.com/rayb5/jy7d74purkv4/wish/1743548067 https://padlet.com/rayb5/jy7d74purkv4/wish/1743552092 "6 feet under screams and no one seems to hear a thing" is a lyric that is representing her screaming but it's almost as if she's dead because no one is listening to her. This is a prime example of a metaphor to show how she feels isolated and ignored instead of the original feeling of independence.

In "Baby, you're a firework. Come on, let your colors burst" she used colors burst to be like a firework and let your true self shine through even in the darkest of times.

Katy chooses a plastic bag from the many other objects that can drift in the wind, because of the way a plastic bag can last in an environment for a long time, and the way it is artificial and man-made. This connects to a line later in the song, where Katy sings "You don't have to feel like a waste of space," where the waste (synonyms for garbage, trash) ties back to the plastic bag (which is literal waste), and the emotion of shame or disappointment Katy feels.
