4 0

Answer:

C. Its Context.

Explanation:

Before reading or analyzing a written piece of literary work, it is vital to have the background knowledge or the context in mind as it would give a fair idea about the historical setting in which the text is set in and the reasons behind certain actions by different characters throughout the course of the story. Literature is termed as the mirror of the society, thus, it always reflects the society and the happenings of the time it is written in. For example, if we are reading the "Hard Times" of Charles Dickens, we need to have a fair idea about the industrial revolution and its setting as then only we would be able to get the essence of the novel and purpose of writing it. Contextual knowledge would not only help to understand and analyze the text better but also to relate it to the present time and form a perception before applying it to any particular literary theory.

Can someone help me with an analysis of "How does Betjeman use imagery fir effect in the poem "Harrow-On-The-Hill"?
Sever21 [200]

Answer:

Sometimes, poets use enhance their descriptive prowess by appealing to our sense of smell, touch, sight, taste or hearing by intentionally selecting and using certain words. This technique in literature is referred to as Imagery.

1. With respect to the poem by John Betjeman "Harrow-On-The-Hill", we see a repeated use of words with relate to hearing. For example, in the third line he states:

"The poplars near the stadium are <em>trembly</em>"

And in the fourth line he writes,

"With their <em>tap and tap</em> and <em>whispering to me</em>"  

He uses this imagery to paint a picture of Autumn (the period of the year just before winter when the weather transitions from a warmer climate to a cooler one). It is clear from the Johns depiction that it is still Autumn but it's nearly winter. A trembly and whispering poplar suggests that the weather was windy.

2. In the third line of the second verse he writes:

<em>"And the constant click and kissing of the trolley buses hissing"</em>

Again we see the use of visual and auditory imagery by the use of the words highlighted above.

From this line, it's easy to tell that John is trying to describe the busyness of the rocky island.

See also the words <em>rumble</em>,  and <em>thunder</em>  in lines 5 and 6 of verse two which appeal to hearing.

3. In verse 3, we see words from lines 1 & 2 which appeal to what can be seen. Line 5 is a great example of visually captivating imagery. It states:

<em>"Can those boats be only roof tops"</em>

When trawlers are very far from harbor, they appear tiny and sometimes, only their roofs can be seen from such a distance.

John captures the scenery with his line above.

In summary, John uses a lot of auditory and visual imagery in his poem "HarrowOn-The-Hill".

Cheers!
