I chose the song Umbrella, by Rihanna. The three techniques used is Alliteration, Sibilance, and Connotation. There is a large amount of alliteration. At the beginning of the song it says, "Good Girl Gone bad". The effect it created is making the song catchy and easily remembered. In the pre-chorus, it goes, "because when the sun shines, we'll shine together" which creates a sibilance. Although it is really hard to sing because of the amount of s's. It still does create a great combination making the song very energetic.
The last technique used was connotation. The song tells a story and in the song "Umbrella" means protection, so what Rihanna is trying to say is when things get tough i'll always be there to protect you. Rihanna calls whatever the troubles are rain, and that whoever it is can use her umbrella to shield themselves from the rain.
