Flashing Lights - Kanye West
Analysis by: Rae - Section U1F

When analyzing “Flashing Lights” from Kanye West, Rae explained phrase by phrase of the song. In my opinion it is a strong point in her analysis because it helped the lyrics be clearer and understandable for the reader whose is not familiar with this type of song and language. Also I liked the link that she made between this song and the song superstar from Lupe Fiasco, but I believe that she should have explored it a little bit more instead just state that the songs are similar. This statement is kind of hanging in the air.

A weak point on her analysis is when she does a brief summary of what the lyrics talks about and she doesn’t deeply explain the meaning of it in a larger level. There are no analysis of arguments, claims, appeals, voice, style, color and tone of language, audience and context. The choice for this song was good but the overall for her analysis is that she could have explored the song a little bit more.

According to what was asked in this assignment I would grade her analysis with a C.
