I chose Life is a Highway by Rascal Flatts for it’s many uses of figurative language. The figurative language that Rascal Flatts uses is Simile, Metaphors, Idioms, and Hyperbole’s.
To make sure that we know what each one means, here are the definitions of each figurative language.life is a long, undirected road that has no stops. The song is rightly speaking of how the singer is thankful for his life, hence the phrase, “I wanna ride it all night long,” or, that he doesn’t want to stop or take a break.
“It’s a Jungle Out There” is also a song written by Randy Newman and used as the theme song for the TV series Monk. The lyrics allude to Monk’s plethora of fears and warn that some degree of cautiousness and attention is necessary to stay alive, given everyday life’s many dangers.
Another idiom that uses the term the jungle as a metaphor for a dangerous and threatening environment is the expression the law of the jungle in reference to a world where the the strongest will survive
“It’s a jungle out there” is an idiomatic English expression describing a dangerous and threatening situation. It often has the broader implication that the entire world is the proverbial “jungle,” a dangerous environment filled with hazards in which all parties are out only for themselves. This expression draws on a long tradition in English idiom and literature of representing the natural world, and jungles in particular, as threatening and chaotic. The term is primarily American, although it also occurs in British English.
The expression is one of a number of English idioms in which the jungle stands for an uncivilized environment, a threatening natural world as opposed to the safety of the cultural world. “The law of the jungle” describes fundamental laws of human interaction, and is often used to describe brutal, unfair laws under which the strong exploit the weak, although ironically this is not consistent with the term’s original use in Rudyard Kipling’s “The Jungle Book.” The term “jungle drums” refers to the informal methods of communication by which information often travels. “The concrete jungle” refers to cities, suggesting that cities are, in their own way, as dangerous and filled with predators as the wilderness.
When I am not traveling, my time is devoted to my two children. Time at the lake, day trips, sporting events and being with our friends are some of our favorite things to do. Outside of these, I enjoy a good book, cooking, music and writing. Please be sure to follow my blog to hear about some of my extraordinary travel experiences.
My hope is to inspire you to take that luxury vacation you have always dreamt of. Or to tap into your adventurous side, you know you have within you. I’d love to share stories one day of our travels driven by curiosity and experiences, from one traveler to another.
a place or condition of great happiness where everything is exactly as you would like it to be:Paradise ultimately comes from an Iranian word that the Greeks modified into paradeisos, meaning “enclosed park.” In Hellenistic Greek, “paradeisos” was also used in the Septuagint – an early Greek translation of Jewish scriptures – in reference to the Garden of Eden. Early Christian writers also used “paradeisos” for both Heaven and for the place where righteous souls await resurrection. These senses of “paradeisos” entered into Late Latin as paradisus, and then into Anglo-French (and later, Middle English) as “paradis.” Though originally used in theological senses in English, “paradise” has also come to refer to more earthly states and places of delight as well.

People think focus means saying yes to the thing you’ve got to focus on. But that’s not what it means at all. It means saying no to the hundred other good ideas that there are. You have to pick carefully. I’m actually as proud of the things we haven’t done as the things I have done. Innovation is saying no to 1,000 things.
