'Poems by Seamus Heaney “Death of a Naturalist” and “The Barn” Essay\r'

'Both songs disclose genuinely adequate definition from the start and hatch this full description by dint ofout the poem swelled you a precise clear image of the sights, sounds and smells described. The very first lines of separately poem show this rich flavour and very much give you the supposition that the poems ar about spirit. The poems be about forces of nature and they two build the effect of these forces using description. remainder of a natural scientist uses the description to give the looking that the author is lock of nature that is why when it comes to the drop brain dead rhythm it is so shocking to the author because he realises he is not in cut back any longer and cannot control the forces of nature. The atomic number 5 uses the description to give you the liveliness you get when you are in the group B. It gives you the intuitive tone of voiceinging that each topic is still, dead and cold this gives it an eerie feeling and this feeling is show in the finale verse not as still, dead or cold but very much alive.\r\nBoth poems are reminiscing about nestlingishness experiences with the true forces of nature. You can tell that they are puerility experiences because of the phraseology utilize. In demise of a natural scientist the things that tell you that it is a child speaking through Seamus Heaney are the things that this child does. The child collects ‘jampotfuls’ of spawn and puts them on window-sills at home and shelves at school. Also the language used tells us that it is told through the words of a child. Words like daddy and mammy are examples of the child-like language used in finis of a Naturalist. In The atomic number 5 the things that tell you that it is a childhood experience is the description and the actions.\r\nThe description of the layer ‘mouse-grey’ is natural of a simple childish description. The action that tells us that it is a childhood experience is the way the child lays on the floor face down, although an adult may hand over been scared in the vitamin B I consider that an adult may not defecate laid face down on the floor so therefore it must accept been a child. Even though both these poems are childhood experiences there are to a greater extent signs of this in Death of a Naturalist than in The Barn because anybody could have been scared of being in a barn alone but I think that every adult knows that when tadpoles are fully developed that they crease into horrible, ugly, slimy creatures- frogs.\r\nBoth poems show how people feel in control. In Death of a Naturalist the new boy felt in control of the spawn until the day when he saw the frogs and in The Barn he felt in control because the farm implements were not real the only thing that he wasn’t in control of was his read/write head which led him to believe that the farm implements were moving. I think of the two poems the more realistic is Death of a Naturalist becaus e of the actions of the young boy and the way the frogs are described in the last verse. The thing that makes The Barn seem more surreal is the last fate ‘the two-lugged sacks moved in like great cheat rats’ because sacks do not move.\r\nThe Barn seems to depict the line of the whole poem right from the start. It has a unnoticeable threatening feel to it and this is theme is continued passim the whole poem correct at the suppress when the two sacks seemed threatening because they seemed to be moving. Death of a Naturalist besides does not have a particular tone all the way through. At the beginning of this poem the description is of things that are fouled but because the child loved nature so much they are described as openhearted aspects of nature and the things that are not revolting are just described as nature. The last verse does not continue this theme and things that are dirty are described as exactly that and even exaggerated.\r\nDeath of a Naturalist includes alliteration and onomatopoeia however in The Barn none of these are used. I think that they are used in Death of a Naturalist because it helps to describe items in the poem and the sounds that are made but I feel in The Barn they are not used because they are not needed; just description itself and some similes help to give the poem its flavour.\r\nThe last verses of each poem are the child’s personal experience with the forces of nature and how they felt underage compared to nature. In Death of a Naturalist the young boy feels small compared to these big, ugly war-like frogs. In The Barn the young boy feels small compared to all the objects in the barn and the animals upon the rafters.\r\nI think that The Barn has more of a pattern than Death of a Naturalist. In the Barn there are five verses and each of them are of similar length however in Death of a Naturalist there are two verses of different lengths. Because of the pattern in The barn I think it is more like a poem and I think that Death of a Naturalist is more like a stage because of the structure and sequence of events.\r\nI think both these poems are similar but within their similarities they have many subtle differences.\r\n'
