Lesson details
Lesson outcome
I can explain how Antrobus uses language, form and structure to express ideas of connections and the contrast between nature and the urban world in ‘With Birds You’re Never Lonely’.
Show transcript
Antrobus’ use of colour imagery suggests nature is full of life and energy.
Antrobus’ use of personification implies nature is able to form connections while man-made objects are not.
The use of fragmented couplets could suggest that the speaker has yet to form a connection but that they desire one.
The cyclical structure could show how the speaker’s journey has transformed the way they think about nature and mankind.
The final line could be a critique of how humans perceive their relationship with nature.
