1. Tell us the number of lines and the number of stanzas.
2. Copy and explain the metaphor in stanza 5. Do you ever feel like a puppet on a string? Explain.
3. The final stanza appears to have absolutely nothing to do with the rest of the song. Can you explain why Thin Lizzy chose to put it there?
4.List all of the words in the first stanza that rhyme. Where do they fall in the stanza? Are they always at the end of a line?
5. In stanza 3, there are 5 words that are spelled with an s that we would normally spell with a z. List the five words then explain why they are "misspelled." (HINT: if you're not sure, then copy and paste some of the words from stanza 3 into the online dictionary [follow the link below] and see what spellings for those words the dictionary gives you.)
6. Use this link to an online dictionary to look up insinuate, intimidate, complicate, and hesitate. Copy their definitions into your post. http://encarta.msn.com/encnet/features/dictionary/dictionaryhome.aspx
7. Remember: If you finish early, then you should respond to the "Lyrics Comparison" prompt. I haven't received many of those yet and it's already Wednesday...

"Hey your not a puppet on a string"
I sometimes feel that way,but I have stuff to help me overcome that feeling.Maby it realates to the song in her point of view,but i really DO NOT understand what the heck she ment!! the rhyming words are,investigate,intimadate,complicate,shake,take and break.Also you and who. There are in the middle and not always at the end. They words mispelled are:analyse, scandalise, apologised, critisize and,despize. [saving so we can go to #6,#s 6-7 will be on a diffrent post]

Hi my nam is JORDAN HARRIS.In this song it has 9 stanzas and 34 lines.The title of this song is''DO ANYTHING YOU WANT TO DO''.Just because ELVIS is dead does not mean you can't rock!This song is basicly saying that you can be anything that you want to be so why not take a shot at life so go for your biggest dreams maybe you'll become a rock star or a lawyer or a football player oh those are some of the things I want to be when I grow up so be and do anything you want to do.
Rayyan.
There are nine stanzas and 34 line.
Puppet on a string is the metaphor. no, because puppet on a string i think means that your hanging on by a string.
The words that rhyme are investigate, insinuate, intimidate, and complicate, hesitate, state, fate, awaits, shake, take, break, you and who. They are in no specific place but you and who are always at the end of the line.
The words are despise, analyse, criticise, scandalise, and apoligised. I think she did that beacause she wanted them to rhyme.

1.There are 9 stanzas and 34 lines.
2.Hey you you're not their puppet on a string. This means someone else dose not controll you.
3.Because it is a rock song.
4.Investigate,insinuate,intimidate,complicate,wait,hesitate,state,fate,await,shake,take,and break. This falls in the beginning of the song. The rhymes are not always at the end of the line because even though most poems/songs have there is no rule that says that you cant.

In the song "Do Anything You Want To Do" has thirty-four lines in it and nine stanzas. The metaphor is in stanza five is "Hey you you're not a puppet on a string". I think this means don't be bossed around by other people. I feel like a puppet on a string in gym because I get pushed around by taller people. I think he choose to put the three lines about Elvis because it must of been an important...

emily and taylor d
there are 34 lines and 9 stanzas. you're not a puppet on a string and you dont need to do what others want you to and you dont need too follow into there footsteps. because he is a very famous rock idol and this makes a big impact on thin lizzy and his music. you and who are at the end of the line and it make smore infise on the song. dispise and criticise and scandlise and apologised and we don't know why they are all misspelled.
Sarah,there is 8 stanzas and 34 lines. Hey you you're not their puppet on the string.I think it means don't let peopele control your life you control your own life.Yes, because when every iI have a chore to do my mom always says "just do it " and get it over with.They must have loved elvis.
By Chris Eyo, Jenna , and Kaitlynn:
1. There are 34 lines and 9 stanzas.
2. Hey you you're not their puppet on a string. This metaphor means that you let people boss you around and tell you what to do. We all have because people some times tell us what to do.
3. Thin Lizzie put it there because Elvis was the king of rock n Roll and Elvis was their idol.
4.There are investigate, insinuate, intimidate, complicate, wait hesitate, fate, state, take, break, shake,
Lena Ward- In this song there are 10 stanzas and 35 lines. 'Hey you're not their puppet on a string. You can do everything. It's true if you really want to. You can do anything you want.' This metaphor means that you don't always have to do what they tell you to do. No, I never feel like a puppet on a string. I think Thin Lizzy put that there because Elvis was a rock n' roll artist and so is Thin Lizzy.The words that rhyme are investigate, insinate, itimidate, complicate, you,wait, hesitate, state, fate, awaits, who, shake, take, and break.These words fall throughtout the each of the lines.
Isaiah Nsah and Chris Knier. There's 33 lines and 9 stanzas. You're not a puppet on a string. It means no one controls you. I've felt like that when my mom kept telling me to do unexpected stuff. I think he put it there because he thinks Rock 'n Roll isn't the same because he died.
