The exploring of opportunities for transitioning may be more challenging than originally thought.

Intro:
Throughout the song “Loose Yourself” by Eminem, the word ‘opportunity’ is used repetitively in conveying the message of exploring transitions. Just like Billy Elliot, the song ‘Loose Yourself’ is about the persona exploring the transition of entertainment but as a professional rapper.

Example:
This can be seen in the first stanza of the song when the persona introduces his listeners by addressing his idea of opportunity “Look, if you had one shot, or one opportunity, To seize everything you ever wanted. one moment, Would you capture it or just let it slip?”

Technique:
Through the use of second person “you” and repetition of “one”, the persona demonstrates the same motivation and determination as Billy in exploring an transition that will foreshadow as to whether he will become a successful ballet dancer in the long run because this opportunity only comes once in a lifetime.

Analysis:
In order for Billy to take advantage of his opportunity, Billy needs the motivation and determination to withstand the pressure and challenges of exploring of this transition.
