Death of a Naturalist




Which phrase sounds like a child describing the scene? - 'But best of all'
Identify the ugly image that would be appealing to a child. - 'The warm thick slobber of frogspawn'
Where has onomatopoeia been used? - 'slobber'

Where has the simile been used to describe the frog spawn? - 'like clotted water'

Why are these techniques effective? - These techniques are highly effective as Seamus is portraying a child like image due to the explanation of his childhood within the poem and thus; this has more of a creative view.

Underline other phrases that have been used to describe the frogspawn. - 'fattening dots' and 'nimble swimming tadpoles'.
