Poems from Other Cultures

Poems from other cultures "looking for my tongue" and "gift from my aunt in Pakistan" deal with internal conflict or confusion. The problem of "finding my tongue" is related to living overseas and being unable to contact your cultural background. However, "A gift from my aunt in Pakistan" indicates that contact with the old environment may make it difficult to integrate into the new environment. "Searching for your own tongue" indicates that the poet thinks he lost his important part.

Please compare verses from different cultures. Many poems cover the subject of cultural identity. I chose three to compare: they searched my tongue by a gift from Sujata Bhatt Half-Caste, John Agard and aunt of Pakistan, Moniza Alvi. I chose these three poems because I think they all contain different aspects of cultural identity. For example, looking for my tongue covers aspects of losing mother tongue and using "foreign language", Half-Caste solves racial discrimination and stereotype problems, my aunt in Pakistan The gift from is suitable for any party of your family.

Comparison of Three Poems from Different Cultures Three poems I would like to compare are Moniza Alvi's "Gifts of Paris Auntie", John Agard's "Half-caste", and Grace Nichols' Island Man. All these poets have a variety of ethnic backgrounds, but they all relate to the difficulties brought about by various cultural backgrounds. The story / theme of "From my aunt's gift in Pakistan" reflects Moniza Alvi's childhood and her experience from two different backgrounds, "Our three people sailed to the UK I remember the story of the method. " Experience a trip from Pakistan to the UK in Pakistan

"Hurricane Hit England" is a poem written by Grace Nichols. This poem explains the influence of a powerful hurricane attack on Britain. This poem shows the cultural contrast between living in the Caribbean and the UK; the hurricane reminded Nichols of the weather that she witnessed in her hometown, a poem closely related to this poem. This poem is mainly written in the first person stories, but there is a third person with a short introduction to write the festival. The poet uses the image to help link the hurricane and the Caribbean. And it helps explore the theme of the ancestral heritage.
