Lea Michele is actresses in a TV show called Glee, it is about a bunch of high school kids who join a glee club but each has their own story to share. In the song “Get it Right” by Lea Michele, she describes the hard emotions she had to overcome from her wrong doing through the use of narrative characterization, internal rhyme, and various others devices. She wrote this ballad for him by apologizing for what she has done.
Both narrative and characterization play a big part in the song because it is told by Lea and the perspective she see’s that caused her mistakes that have been made. This song can relate to many people have ever felt this way at one point, making a mistake with love or in life. She wrote this song about making a mistake in a relationship and hurting someone she has cared about for a long time. Every verse within the song begins with internal rhyming “What have I done, I wish I could run/Can I start again, with my faith shaken” each ending of the first line rhymes.
Part of this song uses an understatement when she says “But how many times will it take, Oh how many times will for me? To get it right” she uses a form of speech that contains expression and can tell she is weakening around this part; you can tell how she feels. Lea’s use of symbolism and imagery really help get a better understanding of the song, towards the end of the song she explains “So I throw up a fist, throw a punch in the air” you can easily picture what she says. Symbolism is the use of symbols to represent things such as ideas and emotions for instance when she says in the chorus “When all that you touch tumbles down/Yeah, I’ll send out a wish.” Lea’s choice of words and use of figurative language can be known just by listening to it.
