Percy Shelly uses imagery such as 'Half sunk a shattered visage lies,' to describe the fallen statue of Ozymandias. The word choice of 'sunk a shattered,' reflects connotations of destruction, therefore positioning the reader to understand the main message that nothing lasts forever. ]]> 2020-11-02 23:06:09 UTC https://padlet.com/jaja7/40k3dyo2t73z/wish/884376803 flood year https://padlet.com/jaja7/40k3dyo2t73z/wish/884379837 ‘When I was there the thick hurling waters had gone back to the river, the farms almost drained.’ This could be conveyed as a metaphor, as not only had the farms drained the water, but their hope had also drained.]]> 2020-11-02 23:07:54 UTC https://padlet.com/jaja7/40k3dyo2t73z/wish/884379837 . https://padlet.com/jaja7/40k3dyo2t73z/wish/884379987 2020-11-02 23:08:01 UTC https://padlet.com/jaja7/40k3dyo2t73z/wish/884379987 Ozymandias (Leilah Craig) When Percy Bysshe Shelley states the statue of the reader has a ‘sneer of cold command,’ the stone becomes personifies to represent the harsh and powerful ruler. https://padlet.com/jaja7/40k3dyo2t73z/wish/884384039 2020-11-02 23:10:39 UTC https://padlet.com/jaja7/40k3dyo2t73z/wish/884384039 Municipal Gum (Katie Birt) https://padlet.com/jaja7/40k3dyo2t73z/wish/884384357 Municipal Gum: Oodgeroo Noonuccal compares the Municipal Gum to a area of black grass and bitumen.

This imagery is created throught the section of the quote, ‘cold command.’ This potrays the readre to think of a corrupt ruler by using cold as a discription of selfishness and command as a evil and ordering personality. https://padlet.com/jaja7/40k3dyo2t73z/wish/884384492 2020-11-02 23:10:59 UTC https://padlet.com/jaja7/40k3dyo2t73z/wish/884384492 Municipal Gum (Ashton) Oodgeroo Noonuccal uses the quote 'Hard bitumen around your feet' to personify the tree and symbolise the damage done by the colonisers and how they ruined all aspects of nature. https://padlet.com/jaja7/40k3dyo2t73z/wish/884384620 2020-11-02 23:11:05 UTC https://padlet.com/jaja7/40k3dyo2t73z/wish/884384620 The Witch Has Told You A Story (Ms Dutton) https://padlet.com/jaja7/40k3dyo2t73z/wish/884386364 The poet employs a deliberate changing of personal pronouns throughout the poet in order to emphasize the tragic situation of being overcome by temptations. The poem beings with 'you' such as 'you are food'. This brings the reader into the poem. However, pat way through it switches to 'he' until the end of the poem. This gives the reader a feeling of helplessness as the poem moves from focusing on the reader to the brother. The reader now can do nothing but watch the tragic fate of their brother who is giving in to the witch's temptations and foods.]]> 2020-11-02 23:12:22 UTC https://padlet.com/jaja7/40k3dyo2t73z/wish/884386364 Municipal Gum (Matthew Dyer) https://padlet.com/jaja7/40k3dyo2t73z/wish/884389343 Municipal gum: Oodgeroo Noonuccal uses the sentence “what have they done to us?” to make the reader think about the poem and think about what happened to their people and it make the reader feel distressed.  ]]> 2020-11-02 23:14:04 UTC https://padlet.com/jaja7/40k3dyo2t73z/wish/884389343 Ozymandias (Leilah Craig) When the author highlights that the statue has ‘a half sunk and shattered visage’, the poet uses alliteration in this line to position the reader to view the ruler as forgotten. Furthermore, as the alliteration draws the attention to the words 'sunk and shattered' which have broken and forgotten connotations the audience is positioned to see how eventually even very powerful and harsh people are forgotten. https://padlet.com/jaja7/40k3dyo2t73z/wish/884390169

The question prompts the reader to understand the dire situation that Europeans have created for Indigenous people through urbanization. Furthermore, the use of the personal pronoun 'us' makes it clear that the poet is speaking about herself as part of an Indigenous community. This takes the focus of the poem and the sadness the poet feels further from just her, and extends this oppression and pain to the experience of all Indigenous people. ]]> 2020-11-02 23:16:06 UTC https://padlet.com/jaja7/40k3dyo2t73z/wish/884392572 Ozymandias https://padlet.com/jaja7/40k3dyo2t73z/wish/884393279 In the poem author states “Half sunk a shattered visage lies, whose frown, And wrinkled lip, in sneer of cold command”. With the use personification he shows the extreme anger of the ruler.]]> 2020-11-02 23:16:37 UTC https://padlet.com/jaja7/40k3dyo2t73z/wish/884393279 the witch has told you a story https://padlet.com/jaja7/40k3dyo2t73z/wish/884395468 t]]> 2020-11-02 23:18:02 UTC https://padlet.com/jaja7/40k3dyo2t73z/wish/884395468 The Witch Has Told You a Story https://padlet.com/jaja7/40k3dyo2t73z/wish/884396723 In the poem, The Witch Has Told You a Story, there is a lot of use of Personal Pronouns.

The poet uses imagery and sensory description to give the audience and vague sense of the empty landscape and baron wasteland that was once a kingdom.

The author uses personification to liken the statue to a person, doing this the author makes the reader subconsciously feel that even they can not last forever and will one day be forgotten. ]]> 2020-11-02 23:28:47 UTC https://padlet.com/jaja7/40k3dyo2t73z/wish/884410774 the witch has told you a story: (jack) https://padlet.com/jaja7/40k3dyo2t73z/wish/884411214 An example of how personal pronouns can be used to make a poem feel intimidating and uncomfortable can be seen in the example “you are food, you are here for me”. By using personal pronouns the poet Ava Haymon attaches the reader to the poem, this makes the audience feel like there in the poem and trapped with the witch further emphasising the level of fear in the poem.
