Hi, Karen! I'm Ian. it is difficult for me to understand the poems perfectly. That was sad. Also, I thought I could find the poems which I have to post, but I didn't. I could not find some poems. :(. Next time, could you please email me the materials that we have to post in my email address? I will pass the materials to my friends. Thank you!!
Robin Hyde, 'In the Lane', 'The last ones', 'At the beaches'
1. Horse occur in Robin Hyde's poems 'In the Lane' and 'The last ones'. Compare and contrast how these animals function on each of these poems.
I think 'In the lane', the white horse was illustrated to express positive things like peace and vitality, but I think In 'The last ones', the black horse was showed to be negative things like death, dark, the last one. Additionally, I think Robin Hyde maybe displayed men's life by using animals like the white horse and the black horse. It is a same function in my thought.
2. What euphemisms and other indirect techniques does Hyde use in the 'The Beaches IV' to refer to the couple's lovemaking and her own desire?
Sorry about not answering this. I could not find the poem unlike other poems I found.
Dennis Glover, 'The Magpies', Extracts from 'Sings Harry'
3. What is the rhyme schema of Dennis Glover's 'Tom and Elizabeth'?
I think 'The magpies' has imperfect rhyme because 'bed' and 'said' have only the same final consonant sounds, but vowel sounds are different. Also, I think 'The magpies' has a schema like ABCB DBCB BBCB EBCB FBCB GFCF that I learned in Dr. jean's an introduction to American literature class. it looked like similar with the schema that I learned, and Except for the final stanza, it is same from the second line to the fourth line.
4. Based on your reading of 'Tom and Elizabeth' and the extract from 'Sings Harry', what common themes does Glover drwa out of life on New Zealand farms?
I think Dennis Glover showed eternal nature, and in 'The Magpies', Tom and Elizabeth got old, as time goes by, and Elizabeth passed away. However, the magpies always say "Quardle oodle ardle wardle doodle". Therefore, human beings can not avoid getting old, but nature is everlasting. Additionally, in 'Thistledown' narrative speaker says thistledown is continually planted with the wind.
