            \n
          1. All rhyming couplets (if any)<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

            \u201cI love you, mhm\u201d \u201cEasier to say than mean it these days\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

            \u201cJoy, for the noise\u201d \u201cMhm<\/p>\n\n\n\n

              \n
            1. 2 moments where you notice intent in the line break & why<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

              Line breaks can create natural pauses in the lyrics, focusing emphasis to key words or phrases.

              1. 2 moments of effective figurative language In the lyrics of \u201cJoy\u201d by PARTYNEXTDOOR, there are instances of effective figurative<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

                language that enhance the song\u2019s imagery and meaning. Here are two moments of effective<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                figurative language from the provided lyrics:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                1. \u201cI wanna feel joy, oh, for the noise baby\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                The word \u201cfor the noise\u201d is used in this sentence as metaphorical language. It implies that the speaker desires to feel delight not only for its own reason, but also for the excitement and bustle that it brings. The term \u201cnoise\u201d refers to the energetic and colorful environment that surrounds joyous times. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

                \u201cLet me fuck my joy, joy, joy, joy, joy, joy\u201d In this line, the repetition of the word \u201cjoy\u201d and the use of the verb \u201cfuck\u201d create a powerful metaphorical expression.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                Interpretation (SLO 2):<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

                A key moment where the song is emphasizing its theme or meaning A key moment in the song \u201cJoy\u201d by PARTYNEXTDOOR where the theme or meaning is<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                emphasized is in the repeated chorus:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                \u201cI wanna feel joy, I wanna feel joy<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                Joy (Feel joy)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                Let me find my joy\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                The artist continuously conveys the wish to experience joy in this chorus. The recurrence of the word \u201cjoy\u201d emphasizes the song\u2019s major topic, which is the pursuit of pleasure and the wish for a joyous experience. The artist\u2019s desire for happiness and his plea to \u201clet me find<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                my joy\u201d serve as a focal point of the song, underlining the emotional core and the importance of this topic throughout the tune. This chorus emphasizes that joy is an important and meaningful component of the song\u2019s story and message.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

                Evaluation (SLO 4):<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

                  \n
                1. Bold your favorite line<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

                  I wanna sing joy baby, I wanna sing joy<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                    \n
                  1. Put brackets around your favorite stanza <\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

                    The song doesn\u2019t have a stanza. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

                      \n
                    1. Write a paragraph explaining why you like your chosen favorite line. What is most impactful? What do you like best and why? How do you connect to it? How does it make you feel or what thoughts does it create for you?<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

                      The lyric \u201cI wanna sing joy baby, I wanna sing joy\u201d from PARTYNEXTDOOR\u2019s song \u201cJoy\u201d is very powerful since it captures the core of the song\u2019s concept and emotional desire. The artist expresses a genuine wish for pleasure and contentment in these simple yet powerful lines, highlighting the transformational potential of music and self-expression in obtaining that condition. The repeated statement \u201cI wanna sing joy\u201d not only emphasizes the artist\u2019s passionate desire to experience pleasure, but it also implies that via the act of singing, they can find a way to this elusive emotion. In this setting, music serves as a kind of emotional catharsis as well as a means of connecting with others. The sentence stands out as a strong and memorable point in the song because it is a profound expression of the artist\u2019s wish for pleasure and belief that music has the capacity to bring about that precise sensation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
