The poem ‘Walking Away’, written by C Day Lewis – explores the themes of separation, love and change.

He uses the technique of vivid imagery in the poem to depict that his father focused predominantly on the maintenance of the garden as it is the only connection that he can make to Poland thus the deterioration of his hands. The use of the technique in order to communicate to the audience what life was like for Feliks in Poland is evident in the quote “ Hands darkened / from the cement, fingers with cracks like the sods he broke”. This exemplifies that due to the fact that he worked so hard he often unintentionally and absent-mindedly disregarded his son provoking him to alienate Peter from his world as it was the only mean in which he could connect and continue his lifestyle in Poland in Australia. Consequently, this had a deleterious impact on their relationship as his father was satisfied in the world in which he created for himself, which disregards Peter unintentionally as the garden brought a sense of belonging to Feliks with the knowledge that it was like his former

As Clarissa was preparing for the party she was throwing, she receives an unexpected but pleasant visitor Peter Walsh. Peter Walsh had just arrived in London and the first thing he did was visit the love from his past. Peter wanted Clarissa to see the person he was and to tell her he was in love. Clarissa and Peter have an awkward conversation catching up with each other. Clarissa Dalloway questions her decision regarding who she ended up marrying “Now I remember how impossible it was ever to make up my mind-and why did I make up my mind-not to marry him? She wondered, that awful summer?” (41). Clarissa’s contemplation of marring Peter Walsh instead of Richard reoccurs when Peters is crying “If I had married him, this gaiety would have been mine all day!” (47).

He was only there to observe his friend Barabbas–a dangerous Zealot–but was caught up in the commotion when Roman officers began beating and capturing the demonstrators.

Furthermore, in the public space of the city, albeit this time La Plata, Lala feels lost even though the corner was bustling with people; the spectacle of the first lunar eclipse of the century did not distract her from her discomfort. The next day Lala, who was in a service station a block from the Institute, ``felt like she was frozen and it wasn't because of the weather'' (99). Yet again the repercussions that spatial divisions in the city have on Lala are demonstrated; because she does not feel like she belongs in the city she feels lost within it. Furthermore, her relationship with the public realm is demonstrated when Lala was getting picked up by the dog trainer she knows:

Lyon’s free verse poem “Where I’m From” demonstrates the importance of belonging to a home and strong relationships with kin being an integral part of a person’s life. Given the fact that the speaker was able to recall even the taste of the dirt (8-9) in the back porch of her residence indicates the strong attachments to her home. Her home gave her a powerful sense of belonging to an origin and evokes fond memories of the past. The speaker also displays strong familial ties with her kin as she describes the “fudge and eyeglasses”(10) as unique traits of her grandmothers. Her ability to remember such distinct traits of her grandmothers represents the influence they had in her childhood. In addition, she also keeps a “dress box”(23) filled with

This poem dramatizes the conflict between nostalgia for childhood and realities of adult life. It begins with the speaker being sung to by woman “in the dusk,” creating a very calming and relaxed environment. As the speaker hears the music, he is taken back to his childhood and sees himself as a young kid sitting under the piano while his mother plays. The speaker refers to the “insidious mastery” of the present song, due to its ability to bring up old memories of his past. The music “betrays” him by breaking his outer facade and revealing his inner desires and longings. As the speaker reflects on his childhood, he “weeps” for the comfortable and “cosy” atmosphere of his childhood home. This description reveals a clearly beloved time and

Marina grows and changes from her fragmented shell as she observes and builds relationships with those at the boarding school. The use of contrast emphasises Marina’s growth in trust with those around her. “I’m starting to feel mildly safe. That’s dangerous, I’d better be careful.” Her change is evident as she later writes, “I suppose I do trust them a bit, yet when I came to this place I was so determined never to trust anyone.”
