How does Sujata Bhatt show that identity is important in 'from Search For My Tongue'? Compare the methods she uses with the methods another poet uses to show that identity is important in one other poem. 'Search For My Tongue' ('SFMT') and 'Hurricanes Hit England' ('HHE') both share a common theme of identity and how it influences our day-to-day life. 'SFMT' and 'HHE' together show show your cultural identity is within you; it's not constricted to a certain place. However, the two poets show this in different ways. In SFMT, Bhatt's emotional response to the language shows its importance. Whereas in HHE, Nichols' final conclusion of 'the earth is the earth' and her response to this epiphany show importance. Language is a method used in both poems to show identity's importance. Both poems use a physical thing metaphorically, too. In SFMT, it's her tongue. Whereas in HHE, it's the hurricane.In SFMT, the two tongues (languages) conflict in her (both physically and metaphorically). The two toungues would be squashed; there's clearly not enough room in someone's mouth for two tongues. This reflects her struggles on knowing two languages: the 'mother tongue' and the 'foreign tongue'. This is effective in showing Bhatt's dilemma and concerns. As a reader, I empathise with her as I understand that it must be difficult and frustrating. Additionally, the metaphor of the language being
The poem Two Scavengers in a Truck, Two Beautiful People in a Mercedes is a descriptive poem by Lawrence Ferlinghetti.
Night of the Scorpion & Two Scavengers in a Truck, Two Beautiful People in a Mercedes The poem Two Scavengers in a Truck, Two Beautiful People in a Mercedes is a descriptive poem where the poet (Lawrence Ferlinghetti) observes two garbage men in San Francisco and two well-paid people in a Mercedes. The poet's observation is really about the way the garbage men look at the well-paid people and the way the rich people look at the garbage men when waiting at the traffic lights. This poem is about two garbage men and two posh office people in the Mercedes who stop at the same traffic light at the same time on the same day. The main reason I enjoyed this poem was because of the description of each person in the poem. One description I really liked was the description of the two people in the Mercedes, '' The man in the hip three-piece linen suit with shoulder-length blond hair & sunglasses The young blond women so casually coifed with a short skirt and colored stockings on the way to his architect's office '' this is the best description in the poem because it tells us that the man is going to work and it is clear that the man as a well paid job because he has an expensive car and an expensive suit. This poem is also set out in a strange way because it hasn't got any punctuation and the way of its layout is in a different style. I think this style gives the poem an effect

"Two Scavengers in a Truck, Two Beautiful People In a Mercedes" "Two Scavengers in a Truck, Two Beautiful People in a Mercedes" a poem by American poet, Lawrence Fernlinghetti. In this poem, he showed an insignificant, everyday incident - a meeting of a garbage truck and "an elegant open Mercedes" - to make reader think about the important issue of the differences between social classes. Two pairs of people meet together in downtown San Francisco as they were stopped by a red traffic light. The poem describes their meeting: Two garbage men are returning from their work, all dirty and "grungy" and an elegant young couple, perfectly clean on their way to work. Fernlinghetti by using colours, an extended metaphor and vivid descriptions emphasis as the huge social gap between these two pairs who normally would not meet in everyday life but have been brought together by this incident. The garbage truck is "bright yellow" and garbage men wear "red plastic blazer" and here Fernlinghetti uses primary colours to show simplicity of garbage men's work. The material which is used for men's clothing suggests they clothing is cheap and uncomfortable. The first man is an old man with "grey iron hair", a hunched back and gargoyle appearance. Fernlinghetti names this old guy "Quasimodo" to illustrate his appearance as it is a reference to a well-known story about Notre Dame's bell-ringer.
Compare the ways in which the poet presents people in "Two scavengers in a truck, two beautiful people in a Mercedes" and one other poem from in different cultures and traditions
Compare the ways in which the poet presents people in "Two scavengers in a truck, two beautiful people in a Mercedes" and one other poem from in different cultures and traditions Ferlinghetti present the people in "Two scavenger in a truck, Two beautiful people in a Mercedes", in a very interesting way, that is very similar to they way Afrika present the people in "Nothing's changed". In the former the poet start the poem off by setting the scene - so at a traffic light there is a yellow garbage truck with two dustbin men inside, and a Mercedes with an elegant couple inside. The poet describes the elegant couple first then describes the two dustbin men. There is a big contrast when the poet starts describing the other pair, and this contrast is also present in Nothings changed, when Afrika describes the whites only inn and the blacks' café. Similarly, Nothings changed is also about the differences between people - mainly the white and black - but the truth was that the white people were the rich and the black were the poor, and so that links with "Two scavengers in a truck, Two beautiful people in a Mercedes" The first stanza of "Two scavengers in a truck, Two beautiful people in a Mercedes" starts off by setting the scene, "...two garbage men...an elegant couple" It tells the reader that there are four people at a traffic light and one couple is completely different
Compare how the two poets explore cultural issues in their work
Compare how the two poets explore cultural issues and attitudes in their work I have been studying two cultural poems. They are called 'Nothing's changed' by Tatamkhulu Afrika and 'two scavengers in a truck, two beautiful people in a Mercedes' by Lawrence Ferlinghetti. Both poems are referring to a difference between two races or types of people. The two countries mentioned are Cape Town and America. In this essay, I hope to see how the two poets contrast each others attitude and issues and to see how their poems are alike in aspects. The first poem I have been studying is called 'Nothings changed'. The poem is about a black man living in Cape Town. The poem is set during the apartheid when all black people were discriminated against. The poet has written the poem in first-person viewpoint because he wants us to see it from the mans point of view. Writing in first-person makes us feel sympathetic towards the man and feel like he is feeling. The poem basically details how these men have been treated during and after the apartheid and how it has made him, and others, feel. The poet, Tatamkhulu Afrika, was alive during the apartheid so this subject would've been close to his heart and that may be why he produced a poem about it. The first verse of the poem sets the scene of the man walking through district six, a part of Cape Town. The poet uses descriptive phrases such as
Compare the ways in which the poets present characters in
Compare the ways in which the poets present characters in "Two Scavengers in a Truck" and "Night of the Scorpion". In this essay these two poems from different cultures will be compared. The similarities and differences of how the poets present characters are going to be compared and the similarities and differences of how the poets portray the people through language will also be contrasted. The people in "Two Scavengers in a Truck..." are garbage men in a "bright yellow truck" and are wearing "red plastic blazers"; this is their uniform and shows that it is not their choice to wear the primary colours which make them appear to have a simple dress- sense but they are forced to wear it. Thus, their uniform reflects their basic lifestyle. However, the "elegant couple" who are presented stereotypically, are in an "elegant open Mercedes" which is much more stylish, fashionable and expensive in contrast to the "garbage truck". The "elegant" man is in a "hip three- piece linen suit" which is smart and classy as oppose to the "red plastic blazers" as linen is pricier than plastic. The "elegant" man is described as having "shoulder length blond hair" and is wearing "sunglasses", similarly the younger bin man also possesses "sunglasses and long hair", therefore proposing that people who look similar, can have completely different jobs. The older bin man is also depicted as
Compare the ways in which the poets present people in "Two Scavengers in a truck, two beautiful people in a Mercedes" and "Island Man"
Compare the ways in which the poets present people in "Two Scavengers in a truck, two beautiful people in a Mercedes" and "Island Man" In this essay I will compare the ways in which the poets present people in "Two Scavengers in a truck, two beautiful people in a Mercedes" by Lawrence Ferlinghetti and "Island Man" by Grace Nichols. In this essay I will look at the shape, structure, poetic devices and language in both poems. Firstly I will examine what the two poems are about and the ways how both poets portray the people in the poems. The poem "Two Scavengers in a truck, two beautiful people in a Mercedes" is about a coincidence meeting of the two working class scavengers and a beautiful, rich couple in Mercedes. This poem was set in America and was aimed to show that there is class division and was commenting on American society. In this poem there is a huge contrast between rich and poor. I know this because the description of the two scavengers and the rich couple shows us the inequality that the two classes have. The poem is not set in stanzas but can be divided into 5 stages. It is more set out like a storyboard. The structure of lines links to the facts that the poem is looking at people at different extremes on the social specters. There is no punctuation used throughout the poem but capital letters are. Reading this poem I have noticed that Lawrence
Comparing Cultures and Traditions in Poetry
Comparing Cultures and Traditions in Poetry When you start to break down barriers within poems you begin to discover political and cultural differences, and how they should be addressed. It is important to look at, and discuss structure, language and imagery in order to compare the two poems fully. The two poems "Search for my tongue" and "Not my business" are both written by poets from very different backgrounds and cultures, looking to get their point across. Bhatt emphasises in his poem the on-going concerns of dying traditional languages and the fact that if you learn a new language, your old language could fade away. Osundare a Nigerian poet describes the growth of tyranny and if people ignore this growth, the tyranny will grow and grow till you become directly involved with it, Osundare's poem is based upon Pasto Neimaller's speech about Nazis in WWI and how they forcibly removed Jews from their homes. Both the poems adopt irregular poetic structures to the more "traditional" way. Bhatt writes the poem "Search for my tongue" as if it were a speech, speaking to the reader and telling the reader about issues that he faces as a dialect. There are no separate verses, just one long verse split up by phonetic translation of Gujarati. Enjambment is also used to maker poem flow much easier, increasing feeling that he is talking to us. Osundare writes the poem like a native
Compare the way Mary Casey and John Agard present identity in the Class Game and Half Caste
Compare the way Mary Casey and John Agard present identity in the Class Game and Half Caste Both poets are showing their identity across to the reader. However they are doing it in different ways. The layout for The Class Game- Mary Casey is a monologue. A monologue is a short, alone speech. This makes it easier for the reader to understand the point of the poem and it makes it more effective. It makes it seem as if they are talking straight at the reader. It has no rhyme scheme. The layout for Half Caste- John Agard is a performance piece as it was written to be read out loud with tone. The poem is made up of three stanzas of different lengths. He also writes in short sentences and no punctuation. This makes it easier to see the non-standard English. Mary Casey's 'The Class Game' shows the differences in the different classes. However in the end she tells us that she is proud of her class no matter how poor she is. She shows who she really is. She doesn't want to hide her identity. She writes the words that she uses and the way she talks and what sort of place she lives in. When she writes about the words her class uses, she compares them to the other class. 'Me say 'Tara' to me 'Ma' instead of 'Bye Mummy Dear'?' Mary shows how the words that are said that are intended in the same way but are different can change someone's view point and their 'Class'. She doesn't care
