The truth is supposed to be something pure, coming out on its own with its own life. When it has to be forcibly taken, if loses some of its luster.

The song also has an interrogation vibe. Threatening the “prisoner,” she knows that she would do anything to get the truth, even if it hurts him.

While it is easy to try to hold life as long as possible, you are rarely truly living. Everyone prays for another day, another year, but fail to realize that their prayer is taking away the very same amount of time that they are trying to save.

Musicians in the vein of Alice Cooper have a certain look:

The mentality must also go with the image: to be a rock band, you have to live it. Alice does not see this reflected in bands like The Lumineers, but in people who show their aggression and anger through powerful music. He may not be entirely fair to peaceful protest, but he is correctly interpreting the “rock n' roll” archetype – the image is very well established and Mumford & Sons are not it.

Tech plays on both sunshine and a full moon. Most “vampires” would avoid the sun, hiding from its painful rays. Trapped inside, the girl is glad to get Tech’s “bite” all day long. The night is no different: Tech gives what she wants and both stay as freaky as can be.

As long as you consider using autotune exclusively to be “real,” then yes, T-Pain is real!

Pain actually lives a fairly grounded life – he saves half of every dollar he gets for retirement, always keeping a share for the future. That’s smart!

Snow, as the girl in the group, is naturally placed beside the groupies and “hoes” that follow the tours. While she usually has enough class to ignore them and know her own worth, she finally lashes out at the constant stream of fake women. When fighting an uphill battle in rap, Snow is right on the mark.

The most effective technique in the core of an essay is the personal connection. While an essay lacking a personal touch, linking the story and the author, can be effective and good, great essays usually cover both topics. Like a well-tuned novel, the personal touch makes the reader attach to you as a person, seeking to learn more by reading the essay deeply. All of that adds up to more attention paid to your application!

As the Princeton Review suggests:

“The best way to tell your story is to write a personal, thoughtful essay about something that has meaning for you. Be honest and genuine, and your unique qualities will shine through.”

The standard rhetorical question, asked to nobody in particular but made to make the reader think about the topic at hand, is a classic technique. Here, it is used to shed light on the author’s own abilities and deeds without bragging. The delicate framing, combining both a résumé and a thought-provoking device, produces a great effect on the reader and helps make this essay stand out early.

The “triple crown” points to an educational background that is diverse and deep; without having to name the school or classics, she has already pointed out her experience and understanding of social justice, feminism and women’s rights, science, and education. These nuances are looked for by the college reader and should be included where appropriate in an essay, often near the beginning.
