"Umbrella" by Rihanna ft. Jay Z uses many poetic techniques including repetition, alliteration, and symbolism. Repetition can be seen multiple times in the song. One example is, "Under my umbrella (Ella ella, eh eh eh)/ Under my umbrella (Ella ella, eh eh eh)". Also an example of alliteration can be seen in the lyric "good girl gone bad".
The entire umbrella in the song is symbolic in a few ways. First off it is a shield to the bad things in life, which is represented as the rain. Also It can be shown as how she will protect the other person. Overall this song uses many poetic techniques and has a deeper meaning.
I like how you used specific examples from the song to support your claims. I also like how you explained the use of symbolism in this song.
