I can explain how Robinson uses language and structure to present daily life, paradise, and voice in order to express ideas of identity and heritage in 'A Portable Paradise'.

Muuji qoraalka
Robinson uses sibilant and plosive sounds to reflect the seemingly inescapable adversity the speaker faces. The colour and sensory imagery around the speaker’s “paradise” implies that it brings hope and peace to the speaker. The voice of the grandmother arguably reflects the impact of family on identity. The structure of the poem reflects the continual presence of the speaker’s heritage.
