For this I have chosen the song Sympathy for the Devil by the Rolling Stones which uses imagery to and choice of events to describe the devil. For example the Rolling Stones chose these events due to the number of people that died such as world war ll, when Jesus was crucified and even when John Kennedy was assassinated. This on also uses end rhyme and repeats back to previous versus.
The reason this song is about the evil is because throughout the song they use suggestive language such as in the sentence
I shouted out,
Who killed the Kennedys?
When after all
It was you and me
This part of the song shows that in this horrific event where the president was assassinated he talks about the fact that when he shouted out who killed them it states that he realized that it was you and me which makes me think he is portraying himself as a devil like figure.
