Epilogue

       I picked "water" as my theme because I knew I would have a very broad selection of poetry and music to choose from. Since water is prevalent on every corner of the earth, I just decided to pick 4 poems and four songs that accurately portrayed different points of view on water. Though each poem had a very different theme from the last, they all shared the same subject. "Water," "Dirty Water," and "Ripples on Water" all put water in a good light. They each have their own way for commending it for a certain purpose. "The Ocean," "Once In A Lifetime," and "A World Without Water" all influence the consumer to respect water. They each have compelling points as to why water is important and should be valued greatly. The first set of pieces use an appeal to emotions to achieve their purpose. The second set of pieces use an appeal to logic to get their point across. Each has its advantages and disadvantages, but both are effective. All of the songs and poems were teeming with literary devices. The most common device used was repetition. This is an effective method of sending a message to the consumer as it tends to stick in their head. What is most unique about this anthology is the selection of poets and artists. These people include Norwegians from the 19th century all the way to 21st century American country artists. The amazing part is that all these people from different places, times, and even walks of life, can come together for one common cause. 

**Sorry that this is out of order! I could not for the life of me find out how to move the epilogue to the back. I understand that it goes between the last poem/song and before the works cited pages.
