Metaphor and Alliteration:
The Script uses an alliteration when they say that “[people] can be the King Kong banging on [their] chest.” The use of the words King and Kong right next to each other is an alliteration because they both start with the same sound. This line is also a metaphor because they refer to a regular person being “the King Kong banging on [their] chest.” The Script is trying to show people that they can be as powerful as “King Kong,” and they have the power to take control of their life, and achieve the success they want (3).
Theme: The Script reveals that everyone can “be a champion,” take charge of their own life, and be successful if they are dedicated and they work hard (37).
Why: We chose this song because it is one of our favorite songs, and it has an empowering and hopeful message.

Metaphor:
The Script says in their song, “Hall of Fame” that “the world’s gonna know your name / ‘Cause you burn with the brightest flame.” This is a metaphor that describes someone who “burns with the brightest flame,” which shows that they have the ability to be the best. The Script is also telling their audience that everyone is bright and inspiring to many people, even if they don’t know it (13).
Hyperbole and Metaphor:
The Script uses the hyperbole of someone being able to “move a mountain” which is of course, an exaggeration and is impossible but helps try to show people how strong they really are, even if they don’t know it yet. People being able to “move a mountain” is a metaphor for people being able to overcome the obstacles and problems that arise in one’s life that make them want to give up. By telling people that they can “move a mountain,” the Script is reminding everyone that they are stronger than they think, and they do have the strength to get past any problem that is thrown at them.
