Two Scavengers In A Truck, Two Beautiful People In A Mercedes - Ferlinghetti expresses many views about American society.
Two Scavengers In A Truck, Two Beautiful People In A Mercedes Ferlinghetti expresses many views about American society. The poem describes four people held together for a moment at a red traffic light. There are two scavengers, garbage men 'on their way home' after their round, and two beautiful people, an elegant couple 'on the way to his architect's office'. The garbage men's day ends where the young couple's begins. The poet compares the two pairs in detail, and then seems to ask - at the end of the poem - whether America really is a democracy. Ferlinghetti writes about two sets of people, the garbage men and the people in the Mercedes. In the poem they both meet at red traffic lights where they are equal. Ferlinghetti feels that organically, they are similar but there is a substantial difference between them and most importantly economic wise as well as social wise. Nevertheless, the garbage men stare at the young couple 'as from a great distance' (line 27). They are actually close together, stuck at the red light. This perhaps suggests the 'distance' between the lives each pair lead. Ferlinghetti uses the shape of the poem to express his view. He does this by making the poem's structure is fairly free. Ferlinghetti doesn't use punctuation; instead, he begins a new line when he wants us to pause whilst we are reading. This slows the poem down and gives us time to
SHOOT OUT REVIEW
Shoot out review Isn't this the best shoot out ever? Neo and Trinity going head to head as they prepare for a shootout in an isolated security building. Both of them shoot the police guards but none of them get shot. There is a lot of destruction involved and there is a lot of close up involved. There were no clear differences. There were many special effects involved such as he runs up the wall and cartwheels. Before they start fighting they give each other a look and then start the shootout. The music includes strong beats which soon lead up to the big fight. It creates a more powerful effect. The good point of this stunning film is that it is really eye-catching and grabs the viewer's attention. It brings you in the film and what got me hooked the most was the use of slow motion. Also when Neo shoots his opponents is really exhilarating as he blows up a lot of stuff. As I mentioned before there are a lot of destruction involved. I really enjoyed the close ups. However on the other hand the bad points are neo and trinity shot so many times but they never seem to die. This is why I dislike it at times as you would expect that after some time the police officers will die but they didn't. American Gangster another great film full of action and plenty out of shoot outs. This is film is realistic as well as that there is no sympathy involved in this because that good guy

Compare 'Nothing's Changed' with 'Two Scavengers in a Truck', showing how the poets reveal their ideas and feelings about the particular cultures and traditions that they are writing about Both poets convey strong ideas about the inherent divisions that are inherent in modern-day society. Afrika conveys his ideas by writing about racial discrimination and segregation in South Africa, informing the reader about the differences in the quality of life for Blacks and Whites. Ferlinghetti, however, decides to tackle the theme of social/wealth divide in San Francisco, U.S.A. Afrika also describes the landscape, nature and setting in much more vivid detail, using it to represent the history of District Six. Ferlinghetti, who focuses on the people who are the protagonists of his poem. Although set in two very different locations; one in a third world country and another in a developed country, both poets deal with the issue of inequality and prejudice. Afrika and Ferlinghetti both feel very strongly about inequality in society and how people can be discriminated against due to their skin colour or social class. The reader is able to tell that Afrika feels strongly about his particular culture and traditions because he tells part of the poem in first person (singular and plural): 'I back from the glass' and 'We know where we belong'. In this way he vividly conveys the emotions that
What impression do you get from each of the two worlds in the poems, and which of the poems provide the strongest contrast and why?
WHAT IMPRESSION DO YOU GET FROM EACH OF THE TWO WORLD IN THE POEMS, AND WHICH OF THE POEMS PROVIDE THE STRONGEST CONTRAST AND WHY? The poems I am comparing are "presents from my aunts in Pakistan by Moniza Alvi", "two scavengers in a truck, two beautiful people in a Mercedes by Lawerence Ferlinghetti and "nothing's changed by Tatamkhulu Afrika". All these three poems compare two different worlds. The poem by Moniza Alvi compares the Asian traditions and the western traditions. The poem by Tatamkhulu Afrika compares how white people and black people where treated in Africa after a war. The poem by Lawerence Ferlinghetti compares the world between rich, wealthy people and the poor people in San Francisco. The poem "Nothing's changed" is written by a poet who returns to his homeland after a part of the country was declared as "whites only". The country that the poet calls his homeland is now destroyed and the poet expresses the anger he felt when the place was first destroyed. He now sees new restaurants which look expensive and stylish with a guard at the gatepost. And further down the road he sees a working men's café where people eat without plates from a plastic tabletop. This situation makes him really angry because the white people were seated inside the exclusive restaurant with its ice white glasses and single rose on the table while the black people in Africa ate on
Compare the brief encounters between two 'culture clashes' in 'An Old Woman' by Arun Kolatkur and 'Two Scavengers in a Truck, Two Beautiful People in a Mercedes' by Lawrence Ferlinghetti.
Compare the brief encounters between two 'culture clashes' in 'An Old Woman' by Arun Kolatkur and 'Two Scavengers in a Truck, Two Beautiful People in a Mercedes' by Lawrence Ferlinghetti. Though similar in subject matter: both poets relating a brief encounter exposing a clash of cultures they are executed in different ways. The first few lines of the poem 'An old Woman' introduce us to an anecdotal tone and narrative concept, in order to create a sense of story telling the style draws us in and is very personal. In writing by refering in the second person; 'she grabs hold of your sleeve', 'she tightens her grip', 'she won't let you go' intensifies the subject and makes the encounter very personal and urgent. By stereotyping 'you know how old women are' Arun Kolatkur invites us into his confidence having identified himself with the reader he shares with us his journey through the poem, drawing us with him to share the same final conclusion. In Ferlinghetti's poem, focused on exposing the gulf between the lifestyles within Americas 'shiny' democracy, stereotyping is also used, but the style is impersonal by taking an almost ariel overview. The setting for his poem 'Downtown San Francisco'. The garbagemen are 'looking down into a elegant open Mercedes', the elder 'looking down like some gargoyle Quasimodo' at 'the young blonde' with 'a short skirt and colored stockings'. The
In this essay, I will be writing about two poems which are 'Two Scavengers in a Truck, Two Beautiful People in a Mercedes' that is written by Lawrence Ferlinghetti and 'Night of the scorpion' written by Nissim Ezekiel.
Other Cultures Assessment In this essay, I will be writing about two poems which are 'Two Scavengers in a Truck, Two Beautiful People in a Mercedes' that is written by Lawrence Ferlinghetti and 'Night of the scorpion' written by Nissim Ezekiel. The poem, 'Two Scavengers in a Truck, Two beautiful People in a Mercedes,' is set early in the morning, on the highways of Downtown San Francisco, at around 9.00am. There is a couple driving to work in a Mercedes and two garbage men finishing their early mornings work, as they started at 4.00am. The poet, Lawrence Ferlinghetti is not involved in this poem as it is written in the 3rd person. He is basically describing what the differences are between the rich and poor - the rich being the cool couple in the Mercedes and the poor, the two workmen in the garbage truck. We learn early on in the poem that the couple in the Mercedes must be rich, a reason being they are driving around in a convertible Mercedes Benz. It also states that there is an "elegant couple in it," (line 9). The poem indicates to us that the couple in the Mercedes are good looking and cool. This is shown by lines 12 and 13, "with shoulder-length blond hair and sunglasses The young blond women so casually coifed." The word 'coifed' tells us that the women must be cool and stylish as coifed means hair which is deliberately styled as if no effort were put into it. We
Compare the two poems Two scavengers in a truck, two beautiful people in a Mercedes by Laurence Ferlinghetti and Island man by Grace Nichols.
COMPARE In this essay I will compare the two poems "Two scavengers in a truck, two beautiful people in a Mercedes" by Laurence Ferlinghetti and "Island man" by Grace Nichols. In this piece of writing I will compare shape, poetic devices and generally what the two poems are about. The poem "two scavengers in a truck, two beautiful people in Mercedes" is about a coincidence meeting of two working class people - "scavengers" and a "beautiful" rich couple in a Mercedes. This poem was set in America and was made to present that there is deference between the two sets of people, the rich and the poor. On the other hand Grace Nichols shows the difficulty for an immigrant to have to leave their homeland in the Caribbean and come to settle in to the urban environments of London. The poem includes the 'island man' waking up in London but dreaming of waking up in his home country. The poem gives us a picture of two different worlds and is based on dreams and reality. Both poems use shape to their advantage. In the poem "Two scavengers..." the author writes a poem not in stanzas but in 5 simple sections. Ferlinghetti presents both characters alternatively, using one of the sections to describe the bin men and the next for the rich couple. The reason the author did this was to show the inequality between the two sets of people. Both poets structure their poems to form a shape
In addition to 'Island Man' by Grace Nichols, I have also been studying, and have chosen to write about 'Two Scavengers in a truck, Two beautiful people in a Mercedes' by Lawrence Ferlinghetti
Poetry Essay In addition to 'Island Man' by Grace Nichols, I have also been studying, and have chosen to write about 'Two Scavengers in a truck, Two beautiful people in a Mercedes' by Lawrence Ferlinghetti. The characters of these poems are very different as they have different purposes, so they are portrayed to symbolise a certain topic of everyday life. In 'Two scavengers in a truck, Two Beautiful people in a Mercedes', Ferlinghetti uses the idea of showing everyday life by showing the inequalities between richer and poorer people in American society, by using the contrast of the two sets of people, the rich and the poor. Grace, on the other hand, shows how difficult it can be for an immigrant to leave their home land and settle into and urban environment, for example people from the Caribbean. The poets portray the characters in different ways to show emotions and also to symbolise important issues in everyday life. An example of this in Ferlinghetti's 'Two scavengers in a truck, two beautiful people in a Mercedes' is where Ferlinghetti describes the two bin men 'grungy from their route' contrasting them to the two rich people in the Mercedes with the man 'in a hip three-piece linen suit' unlike the two bin men. Ferlinghetti presents both sets of characters alternately, using one verse to depict the bin men, and the next for the rich people, to form an image of the two
Two poems from different cultures-'Two Scavengers in a Truck, Two beautiful People in Mercedes'and 'Nothings Changed'.
Compare and contrast of two poems from different cultures- 'Two Scavengers in a Truck, Two beautiful People in Mercedes' and 'Nothings Changed'. 'Two Scavengers in a Truck, Two Beautiful People in Mercedes' by Lawrence Ferlinghetti, is a poem about four very different people brought together by traffic lights turning red. The poet is protesting against the inequalities within a democracy. 'Nothings Changed' by Tatamkhulu Afrika, is a poem which is also protesting, but about the way black people are treated in a place where the poet used to live, in District Six, in South Africa, where apartheid took place. In the poem 'Two Scavengers in a Truck, Two Beautiful People in Mercedes', the poet compares four people. The four people are brought together by the traffic light turning red. The poem is set in downtown San Francisco at 9 O'clock in the morning. First he describes the two garbage men in their truck. He compares them with a very elegant couple in their Mercedes, who have a very different lifestyle. The poet describes the two garbage men as- 'two scavengers up since four a.m. grungy from their route' This phrase creates the image of vultures swooping around San Francisco early while everyone is asleep, because vultures are often described as scavengers. The word 'grungy' also makes it clear to the reader that the garbage men are dirty and grubby. The writer
