Inaudible Melodies by Jack Johnson....

Inaudible Melodies by Jack Johnson presents an argument. The argument is that life is moving too fast and that people need to slow down. I agree with this viewpoint because when you are rushing life you dont have the time to enjoy it. Throughout the first verse the writer uses paradox to say," Well shortcuts can slow you down." When in fact shortcuts are supposed to speed things up in life but that is not a true fact statement. In life people take things so fast that a picture or a snapshot could not frame them in time. The writer is appealing to the audiences emotions using pathos to try and get a point across. The writers tone is serious but happy in a way saying that life is fun and needs to be enjoyed. Another literary device used is assonance. Assonance is a scheme and the writer says," Chopping like an axe and maybe Eisenstein should just relax." Saying this he is coming to a conclusion that is how you should go through life just relxing.
