Runaway Love has alot of sound in it.First there is repetition.In the chorus it just keeps on saying "Runaway Love".Also in the beginning of each verse he says the name of the girl and how old she is. Then Ludachris say"their trying to figure out why the world is so cold".Lastly at the end of each verse he always says"nothing else to do but get some clothes and pack, she says she about to runaway and never come back".Second "Runaway Love" also has alot of rhyme. In the second verse Ludachris says"Bleeding on the inside crying on the out, these is only one girl that really knows what she's about". Also in the third verse it say"Emotions run deep and she thinks she's in love so there's no protection he using no glove". Lastly at the end of the third verse Ludachris says "Knowing her mama will blow it all out of proportion,cause she lives poor so money for abortion". These are just some of the things that represent sound in the song "Runaway Love".
The second things that "Runaway Love" has is good images. Good images apply to touch,see,hear,smell,taste and touch. But i am only going to talk about two.First when you can picture the little girl Lisa's mom getting high in the kitchen. Also when Nicole's friend gets shot on her block, you can picture a bullet hitting her. Next is you can see Erica's stomach getting bigger because she is pregnant. Second is hearing. In the beginning of verse one its say" staring with some laughs usually ending in a fight". You can hear the laughing then the fighting.You can also Nicole crying from all the pain her father his brought her. Also when her friend gets shot you can hear the noise the gun makes. These are just some of the things that represent images.
The last category is new perspective.I'm am going to tell the new perspective of each verse.
The first verse changes the perspective of a 9 year old little girl. In this verse Lisa has a mom that is on drugs and she brings different men in and out the house and some of the sexually touch Lisa.It changes the perspective of a 9 year old because most 9year old are focused on dolls and toys. The second verse is about a 10year old girl and how he father is a alcoholic and he beats on her. Then she finally finds a friend that she can relate to and then she gets shot. It changes the perspective of a 10 year old. Normally when your 10 you don't normally have to go though things like this. The third verse talks about a 11 year old girl who is having sex and accidentally gets pregnant and she has no money for abortion. Most 11 year old are probably having a crush on some boy or having their first kiss not thinking about sex.
As you can see the song "Runaway Love" applys to sound, images and new perspective very well.
For sound it had repetition and rhyme. And for images it had sight and sound. Lastly was new perspective and a give a new perspective for each girl and her story.I hope after you read my essay,you might want to listen to "Runaway Love".
