which is easy to do as expres in the song House with no Walls. Shelley rejects to the hypocrite people who like to create their own mix and match religion. In this song,
Shelley likes to uses sense devices of metaphor. Shelley mentions that she wants to have a meaningful life and can be survive in
the song Apocalyptic Love Song. This song written as the last of song in this album to emphasize the reader that even though she does not believe in any religion regulations,

5.2 Suggestions

Song is the media for people to express and figure out their thoughts and feelings. It is a good media to share the joy, pain, misery, love or criticism of life. Songs
have the same form with poetry. Sometimes songs are written in the verse form which consists of lines and stanza. The using of song as a media to deliver the thought and
feeling has been used until this time. Shelley Segal likes to express her feeling in a beautiful song. In An Atheist Album, she delivers her feeling towards religious
institutions into seven songs. In writing this album, Shelley likes to use metaphor in expressing idea. It is a
good choice to use metaphor in expressing the idea in this period. Nowadays, people like to use denotative meaning than connotative meaning while writes some literary works.
The benefit using some denotative meaning is easy to understand the author massage, but the negative impact of using more denotative meaning is that the people began
regardless the meaning and using of figurative speeches. The only suggestion in this thesis is hope the reader understand the diversity of people perspective towards the
religious institutions and the exitence of God.
