“Stand by Me” by Ben E. King became a powerful anthem and a harmonic thread that ran through the chapters of my life’s soundtrack. Every note and word of the song enthralled me with its ageless charm and heartfelt resonance.

I was facing transitional uncertainty and poised on the edge of change when this musical gem entered my life. During a time of weakness, King’s soothing voice and the song “Stand by me” served as a consoling hug. My search for stability in the middle of life’s ups and downs was reflected in the lyrics, which painted an image of unwavering connection.

When I think back on the relationship now, it’s clear that “Stand by Me” developed into a source of support and resiliency in vulnerable times. The song’s universal message of support and loyalty struck a deep chord with me and provided me with a musical compass just when I needed it. Every word and every note conveyed the strength of fortitude, giving me confidence that no matter what obstacles I faced, I would always have support from someone. The lyrical voyage echoed my own, reflecting the fortitude needed to ride life’s turbulent waves.

Imagery . It has helped me greatly throughout this because an element such as itself , it really shows and makes the reader feel like he/she is there watching the whole thing happen . I actually searched it up and it had said that the use of imagery is 68% more likely to engage a reader than any other element . Now why is this , because the way us humans work is simple , we like to feel as if it’s us and that is the epitome of what imagery is and does . It allows us to feel like we’re part of the story putting us in the shoes of the writer . That is truly my favorite part of all this which is using element such as imagery to engage a reader
