ABSTRACT

Guspianty, T. 2020. Hyperbole as Expression of love in Celine dion's Songs Lyrics. The
Midterms Project of the English teacher training and Education Muhammadiyah University
Tangerang.

Key words : Hyperbole, Love, Hyperbolic Expressions and Sense of Love

As one kind of literary works, songs give the listeners fun or amusement. Besides, songs give
the listeners lessons which are valuable for their lives because songs tell human experience as
itsprimary concern. Celine Dion's songs album Falling into you, there are examples of the
songs expressing experience which is generally experienced by human beings; that is facing
and solving the conflict.

In constructing the final project, I focused the research on the whole songs that related
hyperbolic expressions and sense of love in the Falling into you album. I took them because,
after listening the songs and reading the texts I found many stanzas that contained sense of
love in hyperbolic expressions. The data were gathered from the text of the songs. In order
that I could easily understand the meaning of the songs, I started listening and reading them
to discover their hyperbolic expressions in Celine dion's Songs lyrics mean as revealing sense
of love, theme of songs, and contribution of hyperbolic expressions in building the theme of
the album. I also used psychology approaches to analyze the songs. I arranged some other
sufficient data by doing library activities. I selected some books related to the subject matter
to support my effort in conducting the analysis.

Based on the analysis there were twenty six stanzas that contained hyperbole, and ten stanzas
that contain sense of depression in hyperbole. Each song in this album has various meanings
but some of them have similar meaning to each other. Although, each song in this album has
various and different meanings, but it has similar themes and reveal sense of depression
through hyperbolic expressions to strengthen the meanings of songs. Hyperbolic expressions
in each song of the album have many meanings. The songs in this album reveal, we can see
that love is love is one of the common things that everyone has, because love can be happy or
sad.

Hyperbole is an exaggeration used for the special effect or impression it will create. And love
is a normal response for colors our lives . Most of us feel this way at one time or another for
 short periods.

The general theme of this album is about the power of love , missing someone,deepest love,
always struggle in relationship.

CHAPTER I
INTRODUCTION
1.1. Background of the Study

Some people think that literature is just a matter of fun and enjoyment.
This opinion is not completely right because literature is more than just fun and
enjoyment. Hudson in an Introduction to the Study of Literature states, “Literature
is the expression of the life through the medium of language. It can be regarded as
something essential since it contains real life”. (1960: 10)

It means that literature can be a portrait of a human life because the con-
tent of literature can be a description of experience of the human nature or expres-
sion of our feeling that is reflected in the language. By literature, we enrich our
knowledge and experience since literature is a reflection of human life. So, read-
ing literature does not simply enjoy the pleasure and excitement, but we can dig
the meaning inside because literature is the medium for learning about life

Among several genres of literature, poetry is maybe the most difficult one
to understand. Poetry in general does not use ordinary language to express the
feeling of the writer, but it uses beautiful and unique words what is called
figurative expression. These beautiful words have hidden meaning. And that is the
main reason why poetry is not easy to understand compared to other literary
works. Besides that, it makes people less interested in poetry; people will be
interested in other literary works that are easier to read immediately such as novel
 2

because novels are usually a portrait of human life that involves various characters
and conversation that make the story more lively. People are also interested in
reading drama because besides involving various characters and dialogs like
novel, drama also involves movement and action in expressing its meaning.
Meanwhile, when we talk about songs, people will get easily interested in.
songs can easily attract us because they do not just consist of lyrics but also have
rhythm and melody. However, when we listen to a song, we cannot just listen to
the music and its rhythm. We also have to find out the meaning of the lyrics of the
songs that the writer and the singer want to express to us. Nevertheless, just like
poetry, not all the lyrics of the songs are easily understandable, especially when
the lyrics are full of figures of speech or figurative language, phrases, or sentences
which have hidden meaning inside them.

Song is a short musical work set to a poetic text with equal importance
given to music and to the words. It may be written for one or several voices and is
generally performed with musical instrument accompaniment (Encyclopedia
Americana 1977:220)

Song can be divided into three types: Art Songs, Folk Songs, and Popular
Songs. Art songs are songs created for performance, although its can also have
other types of accompaniment such as an orchestra or string quartet, and are
always notated. Generally, they have an identified author(s) and require voice
training for acceptable performances. The lyrics are often written by a lyricist and
the music composed by a composer. The pieces were most often written to be
 3

performed at a home setting although today the works enjoy popularity as concert
pieces.
Folk songs are songs of often-anonymous origin that are transmitted
orally. They are frequently a major aspect of national or cultural identity. Folk
songs are also frequently transmitted non-orally (as sheet music), especially in the
modern era. Moreover, modern popular songs are typically distributed as
recordings, and are played on the radio, though all other mass media that have
audio capabilities are involved. The recording artists infer their relative popularity
from commercially significant sales of recordings, ratings of stations and
networks that play them, and ticket sales for concerts.

A popular song can become a modern folk song when members of the
public who learn to sing it from the recorded version teach their version to others.
Popular songs may be called pop songs for short, although pop songs or pop
music may instead be considered as more commercially popular genre of popular
music as a whole.

Songs can be used by listener for their own purposes, largely because
many types of songs do not have precise people, place or time references. For
those who find them relevant, songs happen whenever and wherever one hears
them and there are, consciously or subconsciously, about the people in one’s own
life. Most importantly, perhaps, songs are relaxing. They provide variety, fun and
encourage harmony within oneself and within a group. Little wonder they are
important tools in sustaining cultures, religions, patriotism and even revolutions.

Meanwhile, when we talk about songs, people will get easily interested.
Songs can easily attract us because they do not just consist of lyrics but also have
rhythm and melody. However, when we listen to a song, we cannot just listen to
music and its rhythm. We also have to figure out the meaning of the lyrics of the
song that the writer and their singer want to express to us. Nevertheless, not all the
lyrics of the songs are easily understandable, especially when the lyrics are full of
figures of speech or poetic words, phrases, or sentences which have hidden
meaning inside them.

However, figurative language can surely be little mystery. The artists have
mysterious and special sentences, which are different from one another. It cannot
be separated from the writer’s ways or technique to express, to reflect, and
describe his or their songs lyrics. Therefore, it is sometimes very difficult to
analyze figurative language completely and perfectly.

It is important for the readers or listeners to understand the meaning of

figurative language to comprehend the song lyrics. If the readers or listeners have
difficulty in doing so, they may not understand what the singer is really singing. It
is also important for the readers and the listeners to be able to recognize figurative
language. These two factors, recognizing and understanding figurative language
are important if the readers or listeners want to fully comprehend the material in
which figurative language appears.
Lyrics in a song can strengthen the existence of music. The song’s lyrics
have a role to kindle the meaning. Lyrics of a song are written in stanza and
usually have a sweet sound and rhyme. Imagination is ability to form ideas in the
 5

mind. Music and song is a communal activity in which, for a while, the world
becomes one.
Based on the explanation above, lyrics of a song is accordingly one of
literary works, because they are relatively similar to lyrics of poetry. It is a kind of
short poems that are not only read but also accompanied by musical instruments.
Since lyrics of a song are kind of short poems, they can be learnt and found the
sense of meaning, we will deal with figurative language which is the element of
poetry to find out the meaning of the lyrics of a song.
In Celine Dion’s songs lyrics. The artists want to show the deepest feeling
of love, falling in love, deep longin, the feeling of loss because of love and finally
cause them to be happy to express it that can be found in hyperbolic expressions.
The artists use hyperbolic expressions in their songs because they want to
exaggerate the feeling that they have to give a certain effect to the listeners or to
show the quality of their feelings. Moreover, with hyperbole they hope that the
listeners or readers of Celine Dion's song lyrics can feel what the artists feel

Sense of love is Love is an incredibly powerful word. When you’re in

love, you always want to be together, and when you’re not, you’re thinking about
being together because you need that person and without them your life is
incomplete. love is unconditional affection with no limits or conditions:
completely loving someone. It’s when you trust the other with your life and when
you would do anything for each other. When you love someone, you want nothing
more than for them to be truly happy no matter what it takes, because that’s how
much you care about them and because their needs come before your own. You
hide nothing of yourself and can tell the other anything because you know they
accept you just the way you are and vice versa.
 Céline Marie Claudette Dion ,born 30 March 1968) is a Canadian singer.
Dion's music has been influenced by genres ranging from rock and R&B to gospel
and classical.Falling into You (1996), Dion's fourth English-language album,
presented the singer at the height of her popularity and showed a further
progression of her music.Some of their famous songs are The power of love,my
heart will go on and on ,because you love me ,it's all coming back to me. The best
album credited to Celine Dion is A New Day Has Come which is ranked number
6,334 in the overall greatest album chart with a total rank score of 192.
Falling into You is the fourth English-language studio album by Canadian singer Celine
Dion, released on 11 March 1996 by Columbia/Epic Records.Falling into You won many
awards around the world, including Grammy Award for Album of the Year and Best Pop
Album at the 39th annual ceremony, during which Dion performed live. In April 1997, she
also won three World Music Awards for World's Best Selling Artist of the Year, World's Best
Selling Pop Artist of the Year and World's Best Selling Canadian Artist of the Year.
The sound of Celine Dion is undeniably unique and powerful. she achieved worldwide
fame after releasing several best-selling English albums.
The album Falling into You (1996) aThe album Falling into you is extremely well done
musicall which was certified diamond in the US. The music style varies from one song to
another throughout the album. The credibility of the music itself is clear. The lyrics have
deep meaning and the figurative language gives poetic sense to their song.
In this study, dealing with figurative language, the writer wants to find out how deep the
sense of depression that the musicians faced the singer through Hyperbolic expressions in the
song lyrics.

1.2. Reasons for Choosing the Topic

(1)It is important to find out to what extent the hyperbolic expressions used in Celine Dion's
song lyrics, reveal sense of love,
(2)It is important to understand figurative language, because we can learn kinds of figurative
language. Furthermore, we can improve our language skill such as composition of the
sentences, style, diction, and enrich our vocabulary.
(3)It is expected to give some benefits for the readers who wish would like to understand and
enhance the knowledge of figurative language.

1.3. Statements of the Problem

There are some questions raised in this study as follows:

(1)What do hyperbolic expressions in Evanescence’s song lyrics in Fallen album mean as

revealing sense of depression?

(2) What is the significance of hyperbolic expressions in building the theme of the album?

1.4. Objectives of the Study

The objectives of the studies are follows:

(1) To analyze hyperbolic expressions in Celine Dion's song lyrics in Falling into you album
mean as revealing sense of love;

(2)To analyze the significance of hyperbolic expressions in building the theme of the album
is;

1.5. Limitation of the Study

This study has a broad scope so, it is impossible for the writer to handle all problems.
Therefore, the problems that the learner is going to deal with in the study are:

(1) The subject of the study is Celine Dion’s song lyrics found in the album entitled ‘Falling
into you’. It contains 5 songs that are: "Falling into You"(2)"Because You Loved Me"(3)"It's
All Coming Back to Me Now"(4)"All by Myself"(5)"Call the Man"
(2)The study focuses sense love on the use of hyperbolic expressions in the lyrics of each
song of ‘Falling into you’ album.
(3)The writer uses a descriptive analysis to analyze the use of figurative language in Celine
Dion’s album ‘Falling into you’.

1.6. Significance of the Study

The study is expected to give some benefits for the song and music lovers who want to use
the study as a reference to comprehend the hidden meaning behind the songs, and the other
researchers who want to use this paper as a reference for further research on the figurative
language.

 CHAPTER II

REVIEW OF RELATED LITERATURE

2.1 Poetry

We should say that poetry could be written for different reasons and

therefore it has a different purpose. Some poems are written to entertain us, other

solely for the purpose of moral persuasion. Some people also think that poetry is

interesting but some others do not because they think that it just wastes their time.

For some of them, poetry gives the readers knowledge. It is knowledge of

themselves in relation to the world experience, and to the world considered, not

statistically, but in terms of human purpose and values. In other words, to

conceive poetry as knowledge is not the only possible way of conceiving it. Many

poems try to be both entertaining and instructive, both amusing and edifying at the

same time. Many definitions about poetry have been formulated, but there is no

single one, which is satisfactory.

Poetry is a piece of creative writing in verse which contains one

expression of deep feeling or noble thought in beautiful language, written with the

intention of communicating an experience (Hornby, 1989:954),

Mill as cited by Frederik (1988;14) states that the objects of poetry is to

act and addresses itself to the feelings; poetry works by moving; poetry acts by

offering interesting objects of contemplation to the sensibilities. Frederik herself

states (1988:15), “Poetry is truth and fiction also truth, but they are different
 12

truths. The truth of poetry is aimed to paint the human soul truly, and the truth of

fiction is to give a true picture of life, “She also states (1988:15) that poetry is

feeling confessing itself to itself, in the moment of solitude, and embodying itself

in symbols which are the nearest possible representations of the feeling in the

exact shape which exist in the poet’s mind.

From the explanation above, I conclude that poetry is a kind of literary

work that uses beautiful language in certain form that could give peculiar poetic

feeling and sensibilities; it also conveys emotion and ideas to the reader’s or

listener’s mind or ear.

Lyric poems are usually short, and have song-like quality. The poets

express their personal reactions to thinks, what they see, hear, think, and feel.

Although people shall preserve the distinction between lyrics of poetry and

fiction; poetic and prosaic, narrative and dramatic; simply for convenience, the

fact is that some aspects of creative literature can be illustrated most easily in lyric

of poems. But poetry is notoriously the hardest of all to translate. The lyric of poet

deals with aspect of experience which can best be rendered through the

exploitation of language itself, especially of its potentialities and its form. The

poet’s subjects are normally the most personal, subtle, and intangible kinds of

experiential vision and intuitions of value.

2.1.1 Elements of Poetry

Like other literary works, poetry also has some elements that are built into

a better literary work. According to Reaske and Alexander, the elements of poetry
 13

are form, language, tone, and theme. The discussion of the element will be

presented in the following.

2.1.1.1. Form

Among other elements, form of the poetry is the easiest to recognize

because it is very different from other literary works’ form.

The form of poetry is the organization of the part of poetry into a whole. It

is usually discussed in literature by picturing the total pattern, organization and

effect of a poem. Form is a complete package that has a distinguishable content.

(Reaske, 1966: 34)

Form includes rhythm, meter, feet, line stanza, and rhyme. Rhythm of

poetry is created by the pattern of repeated sounds in terms of both duration and

quality and ideas. Rhythm is sometimes also known as the arrangement of stressed

and unstressed sound in speaking and writing. Rhyme is the repetition of both

vowel and consonant sound at the end of words, pattern of rhyme is organized into

the verse paragraphs, or blocks of line. Stanzas are the major divisions made in a

poem in a regular or consistent way. A stanza, in short, is a group of lines and

therefore is a recognizable unit in a poem. Ordinarily, each stanza follows a

particular rhyme scheme. The other forms stanza are; quatrain and couplet.

Quatrain is a poem, or a stanza within a poem, that consists always of four lines.

The rhyming patterns include aabb, abab, abba, abcb, aaba, or aaaa (and arguably

abbb). For example: the heroic stanza or elegiac stanza (iambic

 14

pentameter, rhyming ABAB; from Thomas Gray's "Elegy Written in a Country

Church-yard"). (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/quatrain).

And couplet is a pair of lines of verse. It usually consists of two lines that

rhyme and have the same meter. Couplets with a meter of iambic pentameter are

called heroic couplets. Rhyming couplets are one of the simplest rhyme schemes

in poetry. Chaucer's The Canterbury Tales are written in rhyming couplets. John

Dryden in the 17th century and Alexander Pope in the 18th century were both

well known for their writing in heroic couplets.

(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/couplet)

2.1.1.2 Language

Besides form, another element of poetry which is easy to recognize is

language. The discussion of language of poetry includes diction, imagery and

figure of speech.

Diction is the choice of words in poetry. The diction of a poem is the

words chosen by the poet that have something to do with stylistic and tonal

qualities (Reaske, 1966: 31). In poetry, diction is very carefully ordered, more

carefully than in daily conversation. Imagery is about images, pictures or sensory

content, which are found in a poem. Images are fanciful or imaginative

description of people or subject stated in terms of our senses.

Language used in poetry is usually a figurative language that is a language

employing various figures of speech. Some examples are metaphor, simile,

antithesis, hyperbole and paradox. Metaphor is a figure of speech that compares

 15

one thing to another directly without like or as. (Example: “Big John was an ox.”)

Simile is a direct comparison between things that are not particularly similar in

their essence and it usually uses the words like or as. (Example: “Big John was as

strong as an ox.”) Antithesis is a result when a pair or more of strongly contrasting

terms are presented together. (Example: “He was tall. The other man was short.”)

Personification is attributing to an inanimate object or an abstract idea or a lower

animal form the characteristics of a human being. (Example: “The dog smiled in

an evil sort of way.” “The tree was lonely.”) Hyperbole is a figure of speech that

employs exaggeration. (Example: “I could eat a million hamburgers.”) Meanwhile

paradox is a result when a poet presents a pair of ideas, words, images, or attitudes

that are or appear to be, self contradictory. In general, figurative language is that

kind of language that departs from the language employed in traditional, literal

ways of describing persons or objects.

2.1.1.3 Theme

Like in other literary works, theme also appears as one element in poetry.

And the theme of poetry usually is simpler than other literary works themes.

The theme of poetry is also the poet’s reason for writing the poem in the

first place. It is usually an abstract concept that becomes concrete through the

idiom and imagery. (Reaske, 1966: 42)

Theme of poetry is the central idea of the work or what it is about. It is the

central concept of poetry. It is basic idea that the poet is trying to convey and

which; accordingly, he or she allows directing his or her imagery.

 16

2.1.1.4 Tone

Tone is one of poetry’s elements that the poets use to express his or her

attitude the readers or the listeners.

According to Hornby (1995: 1259), tone is the quality of voice expressing

a particular emotion and attitude of a work as revealed in the manner rather than

stated. So that we can conclude that tone is the attitude or emotion of the writer

towards his or her work.

A speaker has an ordinary attitude towards the listeners. He or she choose

or arranges his or her words differently as his or her audience varies in automatic

or deliberate recognition of his or her relation to them. The tone of his or her

utterance reflects his or her awareness of his relation, his sense of row he or she

stands toward those he or she is addressing.

2.1.2 Kinds of Poetry

There are some kinds of poetry. According to Burton (1997: 176) and

Frederic (1988: 99), poems can be divided into lyrical poetry, dramatic poetry,

narrative poetry, descriptive poetry, argumentative poetry, humorous poetry.

Lyrical poetry is a short poem with single speaker which emphasizes on the

expression of the personal thought and feeling rather than public events or

attitudes. It is usually written in stanza and sweet sound; dramatic poetry, it is a

poem which has in common with the use of character and attempts to represent

the speech and action of human being; narrative poetry, it is a poem which may

have some of the features of story and it is arranged chronologically; descriptive

 17

poetry, it is a poem which is arranged in pictorial details of image in order to have

descriptive progression; argumentative poetry, it is a poem which presents a

proposition and than gives reason to defend that proposition; humorous poetry or

anecdote, it is a poem which has a sense of humor, is amusing and funny.

From the explanation above, we can see that lyric of a song is similar to

poetry, especially lyrical poetry. Because, lyrics of a song usually express the

personal feeling and of the writer and it is also written in stanza and usually has

sweet sound and rhyme similar with lyrical poetry

2.2 The Definition of Songs

Everyone enjoys song whether we realize or not, songs have become part

of our life. Songs appear almost every day in our life whether it is accidentally or

in purpose. According to Encyclopedia Americana (1977:220), song is a short

musical work set to a poetic text with equal importance given to music ant to the

words. It may be written for one several voices and is generally performed with

instrument accompaniment.

Song is a musical composition. Songs contain vocal parts that are performed,
'sung,' and generally feature words (lyrics), commonly followed by other musical
instruments. The words of songs are typically of a poetic, rhyming nature,
although they may be religious verses or free prose.
(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/song)

Songs are typically for a solo singer, though there may also be a duet, trio, or
more voices or it is called Choir. Songs can be broadly divided into many
different forms, depending on the criteria used. One division is between "art
songs", "popular music songs", and "folk songs".
(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/song)
 18

Song can be divided into three types: Art Songs, Folk Songs, and Popular

Songs. Art songs are songs created for performance, or for the purposes of a

European upper class, usually with piano accompaniment, although they can also

have other types of accompaniment such as an orchestra or string quartet, and are

always notated. Generally they have an identified author(s) and require voice

training for acceptable performances. The lyrics are often written by a lyricist and

the music separately by a composer.

Now Art songs are not only performed in the orchestra but also performed

by instrumental artist solo/group such as Flight of a Bumble Bee from piano

player Maxim, the famous violist Vannesa Mae with her hit Contradanza, Victory

from violist quartet Bond and Kitaro’s song Silk Road.

The art song of this period is often a duet in which the vocalist and

accompanist share in interpretive importance. The pieces were most often written

to be performed in a home setting although today the works enjoy popularity as

concert pieces.

Folk songs are songs of often-anonymous origin that are transmitted

orally. They are frequently a major aspect of national or cultural identity. Art

songs often approach the status of folk songs when people forget who the author

was. Folk songs are also frequently transmitted non-orally (that is, as sheet

music), especially in the modern era. Folk songs exist in almost every culture.

Indonesia has many folk songs such as Gundul-Gundul Pacul from Central Java,

Cingcakeuling from West Java, Yamgko Rambe Yamko from Papua, etc.
 19

A popular song can become a modern folk song when members of the

public who learn to sing it from the recorded version teach their version to others.

Popular songs may be called pop songs for short, although pop songs or pop

music may instead be considered a more commercially popular genre of popular

music as a whole. There are many popular songs from many popular singers in

every country right now, for example in Indonesia, we have Kali Kedua from Rais

a, My Heart Will Go on and on from Celine Dion, and Korean famous Girl Group

band Girls Generation with their single Gee.

Song is the most natural form of music. Issuing from within the body, it is

projected by means of the most personal of all instruments, the human voice.

People have in folk music, a value of song that reflects all phases of life-work

songs, love songs, cradlesongs, patriotic songs, narrative songs. Folk song reflects

the patterns of life in rural areas, the art song issues from the culture of cities. Like

the folk song, however, the art song’s musical content is shaped by human

experience and has a universal equality. The spirit of song permeates all music,

whether vocal or instrumental. It remains the vital link between toneart and man’s

emotional life.

It can be concluded that music is a media to express our feeling and ideas,

and music has the elements (melody, harmony, rhythm, etc) including language of

music as supporting elements.

 20

2.3 The Definition of Figurative Language

Language may be used for communication on literal or on figurative level.

Literal language uses words only for their actual, basic meaning. It may be taken

at face value; it means just what it says on the surface. For example: in literal use

naked means unclothed or without artificial covering.

Figurative language, then, is language wrenched from its literal meaning-

that is, it cannot be true literally. It in effect tells a lie on the surface in order to

express a truth beneath the surface.

Figurative language is language, words, phrases, etc that used in a way that

is different from the unusual meaning, in order to create a particular mental image

(Oxford Advanced Learner’s Dictionary: 494)

Whereas, Alexander (1977-190) says figurative language or figures of

speech are uses of language that build and extend sensory images. They do so by

attaching one thing or action or idea to another with which it is normally

associated.

From the definition above it can be concluded that figurative language is

the use of language that build and extend sensory images, to add certain sense or

feeling in order to produce a greater effect by comparing and associating two

things so the readers can understand these things or visualize them vividly.

Figurative language is also called figure of speech, tropes, figure of tropes and

metaphor.

I just discuss Hyperbole. The writer chooses one type of figurative

language above because that type is often used in song lyrics.

 21

The word hyperbole is derived from Greek word,

hyperballein, and the means to throw over or beyond. The word
hyper itself means over and the word ballein means to throw.
Hyperbole is extravagant exaggeration by which something is
represented as much greater or less, better or worse, or as involving
greater intensity, than in reality, or beyond possibility
(http://earnestspeaker.com/figuresofspeech.html).

Whereas, Alexander (1977-192) says hyperbole is an exaggeration

used

for the special effect or impression it will create. (Example: “I could eat a
million

hamburgers).

From the definition above it can be concluded that hyperbole is kind

of

figurative language that contains an exaggeration of number, measurement or

characteristics.

Sometimes, one mentions a figurative language in exaggeration for

the

sake of comparison. When he does this, he intensifies the thought, making it

more

vivid. This kind of figurative language is named hyperbole. In hyperbole, a

statement is made emphatic by overstatement.

1. Definition of Love
Stenberg (1988) says love is a form of human log that is
deepest and most expected. Humans might solve, argue,
More and better than others
lost of love. Love can include everyone and from a variety of variations
age
According to Master et al (1992) changing love as a difficult task.
Besides loving their partners, both men are women. Human
can love your child or parents, siblings, pets, country or
God who likes them likes favorite food, rainbows and sports
his favorite.
Meanwhile according to Hendrick and Hendrick (1992), there is no passing
