COMPARE AND CONTRAST THE WAY THE POETS PRESENT DISFUNCTIONAL CHARCTERS IN ‘HITCHER’ BY SIMON ARMITAGE AND ‘EDUCATION FOR LEISURE’ BY CAROL ANN DUFFY
In this essay I am going to compare how both ‘The Hitcher’ and ‘Education For Leisure’ present disfunctional characters.
Firstly Both of these poems involve an element of violence, however Education for leisure strikes us the most as the narrator states in the first sentence ‘Today I am going to kill’ this is a very strong start and very different. Usually the first sentences of poems are cheerful and then they might gradually turn into something bad, but Duffy uses a high impact sentence which appeals strongly to your feelings, making you feel surprised or shocked. This means the reader will want to carry on to see why would the person would want to kill.
