Change

Change “The one thing that is inevitable is change” Everywhere we look, everywhere we go, everyday we live there is change. Whether it be external change, physically in our environment or a person’s physical concept and appearance. Or internally with someone’s mental and psychological state. Without the concept of change nothing would grow and nothing would be learnt as time passes by. The poem sky high written by Hannah Roberts uses a variety of devices, which give the reader a perspective on the changes that take place within the story. The writer centers her idea on an adult who is reflecting back on her childhood when she used to climb the clothesline in the family backyard. The clothesline is described as having large skeletal arms that cast long shadows on the lawn, with a concrete mound and a basket of clothes pegs adorning its trunk. Later in the story she connects back to the past by drawing a comparison of what the clothesline was like then, compared to when the ageing process has taken its tole on the clothesline and its surroundings describing it as age warped, with sagging wires and old spotted metallic arms. This portrays the external side of the ageing change, algren, samurai, samurais, soldiers, composer, time, clothesline, changes, back, take, story, one, life, forever, fight, courage, being, within, war, techniques, takes, soldier, shown, showing, physical, people, past, nothing, last, external, devices, comparison, changing, between, army
