this is my intro to my comparison essay, but i feel like there should be something extra before "an analysis..." but i don't know what i should write. this is what i have so far:
Miley Cyrus song “The Climb” is not only one of my favourite songs, but so is Katy Perry’s song “Fireworks”. 'The hymn "Let Your Light Shine" inspires us to be our best (and Jesus' words), to do good deeds and to help make the world a better place. Two modern songs also express this, with different words. An analysis of the literary devices in Katy perry’s “Fireworks” and Miley Cyrus “The Climb” reveals Miley Cyrus creates a better argument for how every person is an exclusive individual who has dreams to follow and chase it; while along the way, just be yourself. Katy Perry’s use of metaphor and imagery will be compared to Miley Cyrus use of metaphor and imagery in order to illustrate Cyrus’s superiority in goal delivery.
Nothing to add at this point.

To enhance your essay introduction, you can consider providing some background information about the songs or the artists before diving into the analysis. This will give your readers context about the significance of the songs and why you have chosen to compare them.
Here's an example of how you can modify your introduction:
"In today's music landscape, Miley Cyrus and Katy Perry have both made a lasting impact with their powerful and uplifting songs. Their respective hits, 'The Climb' by Miley Cyrus and 'Fireworks' by Katy Perry, have gained popularity not only for their catchy melodies but also for their inspiring messages. In this essay, I will analyze the literary devices used in these songs to showcase the similarities and differences in how they convey the idea of embracing one's true self and pursuing dreams. By comparing Katy Perry's skillful use of metaphor and imagery to Miley Cyrus's compelling message of individuality, we can uncover the superior effectiveness of Cyrus's approach in delivering her goals."
By adding this additional explanation, you provide a better context for the reader, helping them understand why these songs are relevant and why the analysis of their literary devices is worth exploring.
