Candle in the Wind By Elton John I chose this poem because it was written to honor one famous woman, but then adapted to honor the memory of another woman.

Candle in the Wind Goodbye Norma Jean Though I never knew you at all You had the grace to hold yourself While those around you crawled They crawled out of the woodwork And they whispered into your brain They set you on the treadmill And they made you change your name And it seems to me you lived your life Like a candle in the wind Never knowing who to cling to When the rain set in And I would have liked to have known you But I was just a kid Your candle burned out long before Your legend ever did

Candle in the Wind You had the grace to hold yourself While those around you crawled So many people criticized her, even though they had no idea what she was going through in her life. And they whispered into your brain They set you on the treadmill And they made you change your name So many people criticized her, even though they had no idea what she was going through in her life. They changed her appearance and her name, but they could not change who she really was.

Candle in the Wind The poem contains end rhyme (brain/name... kid/did) The poem contains a metaphor They crawled out of the woodwork (comparing those who wanted to change her to an invasive insect who wants to destroy something) The poem contains a simile It seemed to me you lived your life like a candle in the wind. (comparing her life to a candle that cannot be still and find something to hold on to in life) The poem contains alliteration You lived your life
