Poem Appropriation
1. What changes have you made?
The changes that I have made to the poem by Adam Lindsay Gordon are, how Australia has become more polluted and subject to dumping of rubbish and how it is becoming more like a barren wasteland. I have also included issues such as droughts and the damage that it is making to the bushland area.
2. Why? What does it tell us about changes in Australia?
I have made these changes because I feel that it is important to be aware of how Australia is becoming trashed with garbage etc. It helps us realise how Australia has become more and more polluted and how we can see the difference and change the future of Australia.
3. What techniques have you used to reveal these changes (metaphors, simile, personification, onomatopoeia)
The techniques which I have used to highlight the idea about Australia becoming more polluted include: personification, simile’s and rhythmic patterns.
4. If you used a technique, why did you choose it? How was it effective in creating meaning?
I used these techniques so that the message/moral becomes more effective and stands out. It also helps people understand the situationÂ
