The Yellow Palm

Task one:

The poem has a very dark tone due to the topic it talks about. The poem talks about a war that is happening in Palestine and inexplictly implies that a bomb had hit the city and it’s dreadful impacts

Task Two:

The use of repetition in the pronoun ‘I’ and adverb ‘as’ creates  a rhetorical feel and a feeling of instancity. This helps understand the theme of conflict and the dark tone of the poem.
