Lesson outcome

I can explain the similarities and differences in how Eliot and Seneviratne present ideas of place and identity.

Show transcript
Both Eliot and Seneviratne present the negative impact of industrialisation on the environment and people. Arguably, Seneviratne’s poem is more optimistic since it shows there is a future for the city and its people. Both Eliot and Seneviratne show the impact of place on human connections. Eliot depicts the connections between people through a sense of disconnection and loss of individuality. Seneviratne depicts the bond between people through the impact ancestors have on their descendants.
