In this essay I will endeavour to explore all various phrases, words, metaphors and diction that contribute towards the portrayal of images regarding family and country life. I shall analyse two of Heaney's poems to gather these images, the two poems being 'Mid - Term Break', taken from 'Death of a naturalist' (Heaney's first collection), and 'Blackberry Picking'.
