heyy i saw this past question for section one and i have NO IDEA how 2 answer it:
its a poem called starting from central station
"in what ways days the poem relate to the idea of journeys?" (2 marks)
"identify 2 poetic technics used by the poet and explain how theyre used" (2 marks)
HERES THE POEM
A moon hands in the air,
Its hands at ten past ten:
My father leaps alive
And i shrink to his son
My father strides ahead
And stops to have a word
With men in caps who laugh.
He slips them a reward.
The trolley rolls behind
With boxes stacked like bricks:
Smoke and a whistle blow
And i am fifty six.
Houses move through the parks,
Streets run with greens and reds:
Night conjures up ythe same
Old promises and dreads.
The train is on its way
And daylight gets to work,
Puts father in a box
And shoves him in the dark.
okay thats the poem, you guys have probably read it before..
The techniques im thinking bout are enjambent, rhyme and onomataopea with "houses move through the parks".. but how do they convey journeys??
HELPP !!
