Judith Wright and Bruce Dawe are both Australian poets, who wrote ¡®Brother and sisters¡¯ and ¡®Drifters¡¯ respectively. ...
¡®Brother and sisters¡¯ is a poem about three siblings living on an isolated farm and is full of symbols of their directionless life. ...
Like ¡®Brother and sisters¡¯, ¡®Drifters¡¯ is also written by an Australian poet and also shows the harsh realities of the humanitarian. ¡®Drifters¡¯ is a memorable poem showing readers the nomadic life of a family, signifying a mother¡¯s dream was ¡®shriveled¡¯. ... ¡®Drifters¡¯ is about having no stability and ¡®Brother and sisters¡¯ is about having too much stability that these people are not moving one with their lives. ...
¡®Drifters¡¯ predictability is of the family¡¯s move which was shown through the phrase ¡®One day soon¡¯. ... Whereas in ¡®Brother and sisters¡¯, there is no predictability. ... The energetic atmosphere in ¡®Drifters¡¯ is conveyed through the use of active verbs, which also creates a chaotic tone. ... Within ¡®Brother and sisters¡¯, Wright has not used any repetition to emphasize some of the techniques the poet used. ... However, in ¡®Brother and sisters¡¯, resentment did not exist and despair was shown throughout the whole poem. ... In actual fact, John is also worrying about the future but to comfort his sisters, he used that sentence and was at the same time trying to convince himself that there¡¯s nothing to worry about.
