Half caste, Unrelated incidents, and Search for my tongue :: Comapre Three Poems

I will be discussing how the three poems Halfe Caste, Unrelatedincidents, and search for my dialect do not use regulation side of meat. Iwill be exploring the poets motivation and discussing how the poetsdeviate from standard English.In the poem Search for my tongue the poet Sujata Bhatt uses thelanguage Gujarat. Using an alternative language much(prenominal) as (Gujarat) hasan effect in ways that it shows how Sujata Bhatt had went fromspeaking English to Gujarat and back to English. It has an effectshowing how she has two tongues in her mouth, one the English tongue,and the other tongue being the foreign tongue. Sujatas English tongueis talking however overnight her Gujarat tongue has taken over in herdreams. Then in the morning her English tongue comes back like aflower growing, the bud opens, the bud opens in my mouth, it pushesthe other tongue aside.In the poem Unrelated incidents is a newsman from the BBC talking.From the way the words are spelt we can gather that the repor ter isScottish, this is thi six a clock thi man said n thi reason a talkwia BBC accent iz coz yi widny wahnt mi ti talk about thi trooth.Also in this poem is hardly any standard English at all. It is effective in ways that we get ideas of what the character is like. Weknow how the reporter is feeling. He doesnt sound to happy this isthi six a clock nyooz. belt up. Where as if it was said, This is thesix a clock news. Belt up, it would have no expression to the way thereporter is actually feeling and this is why it would be check not tohave used standard English.In the poem Halfe Caste the poet John Agard is talking about how heonly half person. He says he is Half white, and Half black. We wouldhave no idea of how the character would behave or speak, half white orhalf black. Judging from the way he talks, well in dat case englandweather nearly always half caste in fact some o dem cloud half caste
