Natiijada casharka
I can explain how Femi uses star imagery, caesuras, and structural choices to express ideas of prejudice and perception in 'Thirteen'.
Muuji qoraalka
Femi uses “star” imagery throughout the poem to perhaps symbolise the boy’s loss of hope and opportunities.
The use of the extended metaphor could perhaps suggest that people often perceive the boy as different from who he is.
The structural progression of the poem could represent the boy’s journey.
The use of caesuras throughout could imply that Femi wants us to continually stop and consider the effects of prejudice.
