Q3 week 7 - analyzing a song

The song I chose to analyze is "Umbrella" by Rihanna. Rihanna uses an alliteration when she sings, "Good Girl Gone Bad" because of the repetition of identical or similar sounds at the beginning of neighboring words. She also uses alliteration when she sings, "Under my umbrella", because of the repetition of the "U" sound. Rihanna expresses her love to whoever she is singing the song to by saying "when the sunshines, we'll shine together". This is an example of a euphony because she is using the pleasing smoothness of sound to express her love.

The speaker of this song is Rihanna because she is singing it. Rihanna's purpose for writing this song is to express her love and say that she will always be with her lover and "stick it out 'til the end". The tone of this song is romantic because it is about love.
