The sunglasses attempts to replace not ony the singer's seat at his lover's side, but also his position in his life by asking about the scar. The fact that he is referred to as "some sunglasses" also alludes to the relative insecurity the singer suffers, not only as a result of the perceived coolness of the sunglasses, but also because of his own all too well-known shortcomings. He gave his lover the scar and he is "trying," and by implication not entirely succeeding, to take it back. In the same way she is "trying to forget" the scar. From both sides then, there are attempts to remedy what has gone awry in the relationship. However, starting with these shortcomings is deceptive, as the refrain and the repetition of metaphorical and symbolic meaning indicate the young singer's faith that what is left between them is stronger than sunglasses or scars. The importance of these positive elements is conveyed by means of repetition. The most important repetition in the song is the lines "carry me home tonight." Indeed, this is the most repeated line in the song and conveys the main message of the song, which is that, despite all that has gone wrong, both partners still have enough warmth, love, energy,...
Even when one or the other of them "feels like falling down" there is confidence enough in the relationship to ask for support on the way home. The concept of "home," also, can be regarded as symbolic of the relationship, which remains a place of safety, regardless of the challenges. It is therefore significant that, after almost the entire song celebrates what remains good between the lovers, it ends with a final repetition; a promise of support, to "carry you home tonight."
Large number of respondents will require large number of questionnaires to be given to the individuals and this would have high financial implications. 1.9 Delimitations Due to the problem of fear of the information that if the Facebook members disclose will be used against them in future, I intend to guarantee them anonymity on any information given and confidentiality by ensuring no names or sensitive information is required in the questionnaires.

In addition, using amateur radio in the classroom is also appealing because the FCC has altered some of the licensing guidelines to make it easier for teachers to get the license needed to supervise various amateur radio activities in the classroom
German Influences on Texas Culture If one has lived in Texas for any length of time, they will realize immediately that the Texas culture is influenced by German culture in a number of ways. Modern day Texas culture would not exist as it does today if it were not for German influence. Today Texas culture can be described as a blending of German and Texas traditions. Though German culture is not
African Restaurant Revival New York is home to people from all over the world, and it is well-known that they often bring with them cuisine from their homelands. Foodies descend on food courts in subterranean malls in Queens, Russian bakeries in Brooklyn, and ethnic food trucks pretty much anywhere throughout the five boroughs. For being a cosmopolitan city with such cosmopolitan tastes, surprisingly little attention is paid to the diversity of
Music Videos Promotional Devices or Products in Themselves Music Videos: Promotional Device or Separate Product? Music videos are constructed in many different ways, but many of them involve the artist and others singing and dancing to specific songs. Some also tell stories or provide other background dealings that make the music video much like a television program. An example of this would be Michael Jackson's 'Thriller,' which was a very long
From fear, the knife is used to butcher pigs, and Jack's group becomes the hierarchical hunters. Jack's position as leader of this unruly band is not enough for him, however, and until he and his knife attain sole power, neither will be content.
