Show transcript
Arguably, the use of sentence fragments and language such as “assault” create a sense of intensity in the poem.
We might interpret the personification of the phone as the speaker desperately seeking human contact.
Potentially, we might see the use of multiple metaphors as suggesting a sense of uncertainty.
Furthermore, the structure of the poem might also be seen as creating a sense of uncertainty.
