Song Analysis

   The song I chose to analyze is a commonly known children's song. I chose "Itsy Bitsy Spider", by Mary Ann Hoberman. I chose this song because I thought it would be a simple song to analyze. The first technique i saw when I was reading the song was a rhyme scheme. The rhyme scheme goes a, b, c, b, c, a, b. This technique was easy to spot. The next one i found was the tone of the poem, which i found was it started off sad because the spider couldn't get up the water spout, but the song ends happy because the spider is able to crawl up the spout after the rain dried up. 

   The next techinique i found was consonance. I found this between the words spot and out, and the words rain and again. After looking at the song deeper, I found the technique connotations. I realized what the implyed meaning of this short story meant. I found that it describes the way people try to reach their goals, but are sometimes knocked down and have to try again. I think this is the main point and what the song is trying to get across to the listener.
