Compare Nothing’s Changed with one other poem in Cluster 1, in relation to the theme of injustice

Compare Nothings Changed with one other poem in Cluster 1, in relation to the theme of injustice. I get decided to compare Limbo with Nothings Changed, about the theme of injustice. Both Tatamkhulu Afrika and Edward Kamau Braithwaite have shown in Nothings Changed and Limbo, that all the same through the unjust world that is described in the poems, in that respect is still hope which prevails through the misery and despair.In Limbo, the repeat of Limbo, Limbo like me, shows that even through the loneliness they are put through, there remains still a pulse, the constant beat of those two lines shows that the slaves dance and music, still prevails through what is slavery. The effect created is that through the bad times, there is still felicitousness which surpasses suffering, and this line still is repeated to the end of the poem, where we know is the end of the bad events, through the saying, sun coming up on line 40.This effect is a main part of the poem, as the suffering at the start of the poem, is juxtaposed with the pulse and limbo dance through the slaves lives through the poem. In Nothings Changed, similar repetition techniques have shown injustice in the world. As Nothings Changed was based on the post apartheid times in South Africa, the poet writes how although it would be illegal to discriminate, and how there no monthlong are signs promoting this, it still happens, and is through the antithesis of District Six, and the new, up-market town, mentioned in line 22.The repetition of and in lines 12-15 is using the poetic technique of caesura, which means through repeating the linguistic process it ca usances more of an effect. As the poet describes his growing anger at how society is understood in South Africa, and how the punctuation used in those lines, the commas hold a immense significance to the poets exaggeration on those lines.Visually, each line progresses longer than the previous one, which may be a way the poet is to show his growing an ger about society. The poet also juxtaposes many of the features in his home of District Six to the new, up-market towns. Amiable weeds, shows that the poets believe that even the weeds are friendlier than Brash environment of the richer areas. The use of guard at the gatepost and working mans cafi shows juxtaposed opinions of the two different places.As having a guard suggests that the environment is more hostile and that you may be overpriced, darn the working mans cafi suggests that its a more honest and friendly place to eat. The repetition of glass four times in Nothings Changed has a considerable significance, as it shows how even though the apparent apartheid is over, there is still an invisible barrier which stops the people from doing what people would be doing in Port Jackson, which could be reflected through the usage of glass.In both of these poems, there is a significant usage of onomatopoeia and harsh sounding words, which suggests that both poets, especially for Nothi ngs Changed is writing in a pessimistic strengthen, whilst Limbo, shows optimism through the protraction of Limbo, Limbo like me. The harsh sounds, Dark deck in Limbo, line 21 and 23, use alliteration and through the sound of the words suggest distaste on board. Down, down, down on lines 34-36 shows how they believe they are below everybody else and that they are sinking further into despair.But then in lines 44-46, this is juxtaposed with Up, up, up where it shows that the slaves may have another chance for a better live and to rise from the suppression. In Nothings Changed, throughout the poem, there are many alliterative words, such as labouring and lungs, which shows alliterative words which increase the resentment and the dislike that the poet has of the whites only inn.Assonance is used in the poem, in lines 20-22, weeds, trees and cuisine, which the tone of all these lines relate to the resentment that the poet has of Port Jackson, and how he feels that the apartheid may n ot have been lifted, but rather having a larger effect on their lives than before. The poet all the way shows his feelings, through relating to Port Jackson as it, which suggests that its a hostile and unfriendly place, whilst he relates to District Six as we which shows his strong allegiance with his past, and believes that times have not really changed even though the apartheid has been lifted.
