Song - Not Ready to Make Nice by Dixie Chicks

S - The song is about how she won't back down from what she believes and the fact that they all know what she is thinking, she likes it. she doesn't regret saying what she said despite receiving such an awful backlash.

P - This song was recorded in response to all the backlash received after what the main lead had said.

E - Anger is a very prominent emotions throughout the whole song, I think there's also a lot of frustration, sadness and disbelief? Frustration can be heard, just before the second chorus the pace picks up drastically( more like she's rapping but not, still singing) and its as though she's just letting it all out, it's different to how she sings at the chorus, beginning and end. Bits of sadness seeks through at the beginning and the end where it says, ' Forgive, sounds good, Forget, I'm not sure if i could, They say time heals everything, but I'm still waiting'. These words kind of gives off the feeling that the reaction received from the audience has left such a scar in her that it's hard to forgive and let alone forget. It might have even shown that she's sad that her fans were unable to accept her ideas. Disbelief would be, ' ...a mother would teach her daughter that she ought to hate a perfect stranger...how in the world can the words that I said send somebody so over the edge...'

C - Rhyme and Imagery

S  - This song makes me feel understanding, it doesn't make me angry but instead it makes me understand her anger, frustration and sadness. It puts me in her place, in her shoes and why she said, ' forgive, sounds good, forget i'm not sure if i could.' then when it comes to ' they say time heals everything but I'm still waiting' really gives off the feeling of sadness.

S - 8 stanzas, clear chorus and versus.

L - The language used really effective in bringing out the emotion presented and clear and straight to the point providing some examples in what she's trying to say.

I - ' I made my bed and I sleep like a baby'

M - I think the instrumental just before the second chorus, gives you time to process what she just said and really think about her last words, ' Shut up and sing or my life would be over?'

S - Rhyme, pauses.
