Show transcript
Sunlight in the poem could represent hope, power of place or an idealised version of the past.
Free verse could reflect a conflicted identity.
Regular line length seems to reflect the speaker coming to terms with the two parts of her identity.
Personification likens the city to a child, perhaps reflecting the speaker wanting to take care of it as it did for her.
The final line of the poem is defiant, suggesting that cherishing memory defies the oppression of tyranny.
