My theme for this episode is love and its battles, I used a poem entitled “Advise to a teenage daughter” by Isobella Thrilling and two songs of which one is “ Perfect Two” by Auburn and “Fifteen” by Taylor Swift. The poem demonstrates love as war and reveals what many girls do to get the attention of the person they love. Perfect Two is a song about a girl who isn't complete without her man and how she feels they are perfect for each other. Finally, Fifteen talks about how she thinks she has everything sorted out and then he breaks her heart and it makes her believe there are other things to life. In the poem "Advice to a Teenage Daughter" the poet develops the extended metaphor of a war game, he does this through the use of smells, lipsticks and other visual cosmetics: they all develop the idea of ​​love as if it were a war. The lipsticks are described as “brave hosts,” standing like soldiers at attention or guns lined up ready for battle. Bringing war into a poem about love is very important because love is not easy and can be like war. “See the miniature armies of jars filled with the fragrant dynamite of flowers.” This position portrays the perfume on the girls' stand, we are led to believe that it is explosive, meaning it will attract the attention of the boys. This war game idea develops more as you read the poem, “dreaded tweezers” and “attack the stars.” “Dreaded tweezers” are seen as boot camp – it is painful but once done it is worth it and can pay off. So far this shows that the girl is trying her best and will endure the pain to win the "battle" through cosmetics. The mother then says "be careful, my darling" because she is worried that after all the hard work he has done he might hurt her. “Conquest may seem easy… middle of paper… These lines in the song sum up the fact that when you're fifteen your heart breaks and you look back and wish you had never I fell in love with acting and doing that guys don't mean everything, sometimes you have to put yourself first and think about what you want in life This song also relates to poetry as this song is also like a war that had to fight to break your heart , these poems are very relevant to my theme of love and its battles. The poem and songs I used all connect in different ways: the poem talks about how she loves the boy so much and tries her best, Perfect Two talks about how they are perfect together and the last song fifteen talks about how his heart is broken. The poem and the songs I used sum up the journey through love, you try and then you get them and it's perfect but then your heart breaks.
