discuss the feelings in the poem my ants from pakistan

... Discuss how the girl feels in the poem 'my aunts from Pakistan'. The poem is about a girl who was born in Pakistan. She came to England when she was small. When she got older she received gifts from her aunts in Pakistan. She received traditional Pakistani clothes. When ever she thought about her nationalities she did not feel whole. The poem was written to show how the girl felt when her friends laughed at her clothes. It was written because if we were in that situation what would we do? Would we be unhappy or happy?

User Reviews of this Essay

What our users think of this essay:

"There are the foundations of a very good essay here, and all you need to do is really to expand on some of the points that you have already mentioned. Just to take one example, you bring up the notion that the character in the poem wants to be just like everyone else in Britain - find a quote from the poem that supports this! Do this for all the points you've made so it looks less like you're making unsubstantiated claims. Also, it's a poem, and while you've identified it being free verse, think about any specific lines in the poem where there's a distinct rhythm to it, and consider why the poet used that there. Also, consider any rhymes in the poem and think about why they're there as well. You would also do well to have a more in depth thought about the imagery used in the poem - this poem is ALL about the IMAGES, so really go wild here. Finally, you seem to have copy and pasted your essay twice, a simple mistake, I'm sure. TSR User: chidona"
