Show transcript
The speaker of the poem begins fairly sure of his views on divisions/togetherness but becomes more uncertain later on.
Kunial uses aspirational language to show the speaker's uncertainty towards the end of the poem.
Kunial playfully explores sounds and words which link to "us" and emphasise this as the central idea of the poem.
There are many examples of partial rhymes, alliteration and assonance throughout the poem.
Punctuation and line breaks are used creatively to draw attention to particular phrases or ideas.
