I can explain how Casey uses language, form and structure to express her viewpoint about social class.
Muuji qoraalka
The poem is written in a deliberately colloquial manner to reflect the pride in Casey's roots.
Rhetorical questions are used to force the reader to challenge their own prejudices.
Contrasting images are used throughout the poem to contrast the differences between the social classes.
The rhyming couplets used create a teasing tone and Casey does not take herself too seriously.
Humour is used to soften the sense of conflict.
