- Imagery/ symbolizm
- Things that are broken are all changes in a person
- All imagery happens to living things
- (all humans apart from the last one - trees)
- All things happen in everyday life
- e.g. storms, cuts, burns, haircut
- She looks at the future, he looks at the present
- Common ground
- He tries to find ways of re-representing their love
- He's working harder to get her back
- Suggests that he did something wrong
- She's the victim
- Is he violent towards her?
- The tree
- The outside of the tree is affected. the inside isn't
- Is he violent towards her?
- They're relationship?
- The outside of the tree is affected. the inside isn't
- She is more consistent in her structure of her verses
- Hair
- their love?
- Hair grows
- their loves grows back
- Raging storm
- His agression?
- An argument?
- Overall Message
- We don't know what they're arguing about
- He wants their relationship to continue
- He thinks they can ignore all the problems they've had
- She doesn't think they can move on
- She hasn't admitted it
- Positive or negative?
- Left side = positive
- (you know bad things have happened in the past)
- Right side = very negative
- She wants to end their relationship
- Left side = positive
- Language
- Uses 'I said' not 'He said'
- Makes poem sound personal to the writer
- Sounds like it is happening to him or has happened to him
- Uses 'I said' not 'He said'
