In Derek Walcott’s "Midsummer,” the speaker reveals his perspective by using allusions that give information about his backgroun

d, the topics that are important to him, and his attitude and feelings. Think about your own background and experiences. In a paragraph, explain how your perspective affects your interpretation and understanding of "Midsummer.”
MIDSUMMER

With the stampeding hiss and scurry of green lemmings, midsummer’s leaves race to extinction like the roar
of a Brixton riot tunneled by water hoses;
they seethe toward autumn’s fire—it is in their nature,
being men as well as leaves, to die for the sun.
The leaf stems tug at their chains, the branches bending
like Boer cattle under Tory whips that drag every wagon
nearer to apartheid. And, for me, that closes
the child’s fairy tale of an antic England—fairy rings,
thatched cottages fenced with dog roses,
a green gale lifting the hair of Warwickshire.
I was there to add some color to the British theater.
“But the blacks can’t do Shakespeare, they have no experience.”
This was true. Their thick skulls bled with rancor
when the riot police and the skinheads exchanged quips
you could trace to the Sonnets, or the Moor’s eclipse.
Praise had bled my lines white of any more anger,
and snow had inducted me into white fellowships,
while Calibans howled down the barred streets of an empire that began with Caedmon’s raceless dew, and is ending
in the alleys of Brixton, burning like Turner’s ships.

1. How do adults and children treat Auggie differently?
adell [148]

Adults and children treat Auggie differently because adults are more concerned with appearance, while children are more concerned with the fun and well-being that a person can provide.

Based on this, we can answer the other questions as follows:

  • Spatial metaphors help the plot show how Auggie needed real-world escapism.
  • He loved Star Wars because of the different-looking creatures. So he felt more comfortable.
  • The various points of view are beneficial because they make the story deeper and the viewer's knowledge more complete.
  • The theme "choose kind" shows that kindness is essential in all social relationships, regardless of the individual's appearance and situation.
  • Throughout the film, Auggie becomes more confident and has a greater acceptance of who he is.

<h3>Who is Auggie?</h3>

Auggie is a boy who has Treacher Collins syndrome, a disease that affects the growth of the bones in his face. This makes Auggie look unusual, beyond any standard of beauty. This appearance makes him suffer prejudice from many people, who do not know that he is a good and kind boy.
