In song Easy the expression of metaphor in term of simile has been found one similes, in the song Total Eclipse of The Heart have been found two sinile. They are: (1) I m easy like Sunday morning, yeah Simile of this lyric is like followed by the phrase Sunday morning. Sunday is the day of the week following Saturday but before Monday. Sunday is a day of rest in most Western countries, as a part of the weekend. For most Christians, Sunday is observed as a day of worship and rest, holding it as the Lord's Day and the day of Christ's resurrection. In some Muslim countries and Israel, Sunday is the first work day of the week. According to the Hebrew calendars and traditional Christian calendars, Sunday is the first day of the week, and according to the International Organization for Standardization ISO 8601 Sunday is the seventh and last day of the week. No century in the Gregorian calendar starts on a Sunday, whether its first year is considered to be '00 or '01. The Jewish New Year never falls on a Sunday. The rules of the Hebrew calendar are designed such that the first day of Rosh Hashanah will never occur on the first, fourth, or sixth day of the Jewish week (Sunday, Wednesday or Friday). So, in this sentence describe someone has a very enjoy.

In this sententence, shadow is A shadow is a space where light from a light source is blocked by an opaque object. It occupies all of the threedimensional volume behind an object with light in front of it. The cross section of a shadow is a two-dimensional silhouette, or reverse projection of the object blocking the light. It happens so because he felt a calms in her life. (3) And I m lying like a child in your arms This has also an expression of using the word like followed by a child as as element of simile. a child (plural: children) is a human being between the stages of birth and puberty. The legal definition of child generally refers to a minor, otherwise known as a person younger than the age of majority. Child may also describe a relationship with a parent (such as sons and daughters of any age) or, metaphorically, an authority figure, or signify group membership in a clan, tribe, or religion; it can also signify being strongly affected by a specific time, place, or circumstance, as in "a child of nature" or "a child of the Sixties". It happens so because he repeated as a child. 3.2 Hyperbole Hyperbole is the use of obvious and deliberate exaggeration. In the song entitle You light up my life, The dance, Easy has two hyperbole, in the song The rose have been found six hyperbole, in the song Total eclipse of the

3 heart have been found four hyperbole, and in the song All out of love have been found two hyperbole. They are: (1) So many nights I d sit by my window A normal human sleeps when he or she is not awake. Usually, this is during the night. During the day time, most people are awake. They work, go to school or university, or do other things. Many people sleep for a short time in the early afternoon for a quick rest. This is often called a nap. So, he may not sit overnight night. (2) You light up my days It is too exaggerate the fact because day is the time it takes the Earth to spin around once. It is day time on the side of the Earth that is facing the Sun. When it is night time, that side of the Earth is facing away from the Sun. It takes 24 hours for the Earth to spin once, so that is one day, including the day time and night time. (3) For a moment all the world was right The World is a common name used to refer to the whole of human civilization, human experience, history, or the human condition in general throughout the Earth, or about everything contained on it. So, humans will not know whether the world was right. (4) Holding you, I held everything It is too exaggerate the fact. Not always everything can be held together.

The earliest razors known are from the Bronze Age. They were made of bronze and had an oval shape. So love can not be equated with an inanimate object. (10) Some say love, it is a hunger It just exaggerate the fact, because Hunger is the feeling of wanting to eat. The opposite of hunger is called satiety or fullness. The feeling is started in the hypothalamus, and hormones are released from the liver. People can survive weeks without eating, but they will start to feel hungry after they have not eaten for a few hours. Hunger is generally considered quite uncomfortable. People who

5 have eaten food usually will feel less hungry, or not hungry at all. People can live longer without food than without water.

(12) Far beneath the bitter snow Snow can not be felt and do not have a sense. Snow is precipitation in the form of flakes of crystalline water ice that falls from clouds. Since snow is composed of small ice particles, it is a granular material. It has an open and therefore soft, white, and fluffy structure, unless subjected to external pressure. Snowflakes come in a variety of sizes and shapes. Types that fall in the form of a ball due to melting and refreezing, rather than a flake, are hail, ice pellets or snow grains.

6 (13) And you think that love is only for the lucky and strong Love may be understood as a function to keep human beings together against menaces and to facilitate the continuation of the species. all creatures deserve to have love in any circumstances. (14) Of listening to the sound of my tears Everyone could not hear the sound of tears and tears can flow only. (15) We ll be holding on forever This same hyperbole like the song. Forever is the hyperbole of this sentence. They may not live forever, because every human being will death. (15) Cause we ll never be wrong A wrong can be a legal injury, which is any damage resulting from a violation of a legal right. It can also imply the state of being contrary to the principles of justice or law. It means that something is contrary to conscience or morality and results in treating others unjustly. If the loss caused by a wrong is minor enough, there is no compensation, which principle is known as de minimis non curatlex. Otherwise, damages apply. So, every human being ever wrong.
