Compare the methods the poet uses to show strong feelings in "Half-Caste" with the methods another poet uses to show strong feelings in one other poem.

still feels anger and bitterness towards the whites.There are many different language devices used in both poems, and these emphasise the poet’s strong feelings about their subject. In, “Half Caste”, metaphorical language is used to show how beautiful it is to be half caste. The poet compares a “half caste” to a painting, “yu mean when Picasso mix red an green is a half-caste canvas”. This metaphor emphasises Agard’s strong feelings that to be a “half caste” is beautiful and something special. Agard uses another metaphor to emphasise his feelings, “yu mean when light an shadow mix in de sky” Here, the term “half caste” is compared with the weather therefore showing to be “half caste” is to be natural. This is central to the term “half caste” which Agard sees as a negative and very insulting. In, “Nothing’s Changed”, the “glass” of the inn becomes a metaphor for the apartheid. At the end of the poem, the poet wants to literately, “shiver down the glass” which metaphorically means to remove the barrier between black and whites. To do such a dangerous thing, it shows that Afrika is filled with anger towards to racial discrimination in district 6. Repetition is another language device used by both poets to show their growing anger. “Half Caste” uses a conversational style with the constant repetition of the words, “explain yuself”. The repetition of the words emphasise the poets strong feelings building up inside him. His anger eventually results to him calling the person he is talking to narrow minded, “an de whole of ya mind” suggesting that he has anger towards people that are not open-minded. Repetition also used in “Nothing’s Changed” to show Afrika’s feelings towards the racial discrimination. The second stanza in the poem repeats the word, “and” multiple times. This duplication shows the poets rising anger. Together with the use of physical language, “Hands burn”, the violent feelings that the poet has, are clearly shown. Both poems have the themes of anger included however they do use different methods to express their feelings. For example, in “Half Caste” humour is used to show the stupidity of the word. Agard uses the word, “half” to describe body parts, “I offer yu half-a-hand”. Here, the poet is mixing humour with his metaphors, so that his point about the stupidity of the word, “Half Caste” is clear. In “Nothing’s Changed”, alliteration and onomatopoeia is used in short, harsh words such as, “cuffs, cans” and “crunch”. These words show the poets feeling of brewing anger as wells as his feelings towards the environment.Both poems effectively use similar methods to emphasise their feelings about the subject. Afrika uses metaphors, repetition and onomatopoeia to show his feelings about racial discrimination. On the other hand, Agard uses metaphors, repetition and humour to show his strong feelings about the word “half caste” being ridiculous and totally wrong.
