In 1991, Michael Jackson was established Heal the World foundation to help disadvantage

people. The song was wrote to call attention to awareness of children that needed help, like
children who living in war zones. Making the world more peaceful and happy are the main
purposes of this foundation. The main literary devices used in the song are personification
and metaphor.

Michael Jackson began this song with 'there's a place in your heart'. It is a metaphor which
heart compared to a place. Followed by ' And I know that it is love ', It means that
everybody has another side of themselves which reside on the core of heart where it called
love. Love is a strong affection emotion of person. On the other hand, love means goodwill
of someone to make a better condition through strong affection. Michael Jackson adds some
results when people have reached it. starting from 'Brighter than tomorrow' (on this
context, 'brighter' means a peaceful condition if we connected with the message of the
song),' You'll find there's no need to cry' and 'There's no hurt or sorrow' (when people
have tried harder, we haven't to cry('cry' means sadness, heartache, groaning) and fell hurt
or sorrow, because the condition of today is better than yesterday).

The title of this song is 'Heal the world'. It's an example of personification because the
world is healed like a person. Michael Jackson used it to represent of helping each other as
healing the world. The point of healed the world are to stave off war and make a better
place for the entire human race. Save whole victims war is the main purpose. because as far
as I know, there are a lot of people dying everyday in some parts of the world until now.

On verse 2, Michael Jackson explains why love cannot lie. It's an example of personification
which means love cannot lie like a person. My point is, everybody has love in the core of
heart. It cannot disappear or dimmed because love is strong and It will always come up to
the surface. If we do everything sincerely and genuine way or try harder to create a better
condition, it will stop the fear of dread condition existing and start living in a better world
where love is enough for us growing.

'This world is heavenly', it means that there is another part of our point of view of this
world. It is a peaceful and harmonious part.'We could fly so high it's the one of a hyperbole
lines which means that we should keep believing that our dreams will come true and let
our spirit never die.
