Biology 3 - Pugh
- 1st Stanza
- "wished to be in fashion".
Tech: Metaphor.
Anmerkungen:
- They use the issue of conservation for personal gain. they don't really wish for a better world. "fashion" makes it seem like conservation is the latest craze.
- "spoke of conserving". Tech: Verb.
Anmerkungen:
- Talking not acting, they only considered conserving but didn't follow through.
- "(translation: let's not use
things up so fast)". Tech:
Noun.
Anmerkungen:
- 'lets not' = language choice saying that it's our choice to make as humans to use resources - which Pugh appears to disagree with. The quotes exposes the hypocrisy and lies of politicians.
- "term: natural
resource". Tech:
Noun and scientific
language.
Anmerkungen:
- This quotes conveys that the idea of the natural world being a resource is man-made. We assume it's there to provide for humans and for us to consume. In actuality, humans interpret nature in a way that benefits us.
- "sheep, forests, phosphates,
the ocean". Tech: Listing.
Anmerkungen:
- The quotes starts on something small and minor (sheep), then progresses to something expansive (the ocean). Perhaps this shows there are no bounds to human exploitation of the natural world.
- "might be put
to use". Tech:
Verb phrase
and noun.
Anmerkungen:
- 'put to use' suggests humans give things their purpose and that we've chosen what they're good for.
- ":" "()". Tech: Punctuation.
Anmerkungen:
- The punctuation used influences the structure by making it seem like a debate/argument.
- "wished to be in fashion".
Tech: Metaphor.
- 2nd Stanza
- "aesthetic argument". Tech: Adjective.
Anmerkungen:
- Humans dress stuff up and focus on appearances. This links to "fashion" in the 1st stanza.
- "so kill seals". Tech: 'kill' verb and
'so' conjunction/connective.
Anmerkungen:
- This offhand discussion of murder conveys human brutality and heartlessness. We think that killing is a solution.
- "say seals take fish: fish
are food for men". Tech:
Punctuation for
structure.
Anmerkungen:
- Placing the colon in the middle of the line makes it seem like a weighed-up and logical argument - links to "so". Humans are being logical, not selfish.
- "you see" "of course". Tech:
Direct address, link to title.
Anmerkungen:
- These phrases directly address the reader. It's the persona of a teacher and the readers are the students. This links to the title 'Biology 3'.
- "aesthetic argument". Tech: Adjective.
- 3rd Stanza
- "theft of time". Tech: Metaphor and ending.
Anmerkungen:
- This ends the poem. Finality of death. We're taking the time of animals away from them.
- "theft" tells the reader we're stealing, we're taking things that don't belong to use - the natural resources and the lives of animals.
- "crime" and "time". Tech:
Full-rhyming couplet.
Anmerkungen:
- This completes the poem. This being at the end links to destruction.
- Both these words are from the semantic field of law/misdeeds/justice.
- "committing such a crime".
Tech: Alliteration.
Anmerkungen:
- Harsh alliteration of 'c' sound. This conveys Pugh's attitude that the exploitation of animals and the natural world is wrong.
- "theft of time". Tech: Metaphor and ending.
