Lesson details

Lesson outcome

I can explain how Satyamurti uses language and structure to convey the moral complexities of capturing images of conflict.

Show transcript
Juxtaposing images are used between the second and third stanza. The poem is written in free verse which could increase the feeling of reality. Caesura is used after 'almost-smile', perhaps to reflect happiness being cut short. Arguably, the photographer is presented as a predator. Intense and vivid imagery is used to capture the realities of war.
