Answer 12

well, get up stand up uses poetic devices like repetition, rhyme, and syntax. The mood of "Get Up, Stand Up" is really where its message is conveyed to the listener. The repetitive nature of the song suggests the rhythms of a protest or a picket line. Some verses sound angry, while others try to convince the audience of Marley’s position that it is not worth waiting for heaven, but that it is better to see God on earth and work for heaven in this life. Both the lyrics and the rhythm of the song strengthen the overall message of the song as a whole.

Answer 17

thank you, In a short paragraph of four to six sentences, discuss the effectiveness of this protest song. Did or does it influence people to change how they think, feel, or act?

Answer 18

Okay sooo... Get up stand up for your right, he keeps calling them to stand up. To stop sleeping. They don't know what the worth of a life is. He thinks that people are waiting for a supernatural source to just take away their problems. He is saying then need to help themselves instead(which I don't agree with). Man cannot accomplish anything on his own, nor should he lye dormant and sleeping, seek God and do his will, then he will have the power to overcome. Who can stop a man when God is on his side. Then the heaven on earth that the preacher was talking about can really be seen on earth as the kingdom of God is forcefully advanced.

Answer 19

When you say to stop sleeping you mean like they need to wake up and snap out of it.. right?
