Compare & Contrast


I have decided to compare and contrast two songs, John Lennon's "Imagine" and Rainbow's "Freedom's Destination". The first that I've noticed is the structure are both different. "Imagine" rhyme scheme are acbc as for "Freedom's Destination" rhyme scheme are abcd.

Another way these songs differ is Rainbow's song has more connotation's within the lyrics. Here is an example, "Chained in mediocrity so I can be like you." The words used in Lennon's songs aren't as powerful, though the song holds a meaning just as stong.

A way that they compare is they both use effective imagery that gives you a visual of what they're trying to portray. These are both excellent songs, "Freedom's Destination" is more raw and displays stronger emotions; mainly hate and anger. As for "Imagine", it's more of a peaceful lyrical poem.
