rural life social problems do arise. In the case of this work, the pastoral elements are structured in a way to create parallelism. These parallel episodes compare and contrast different characters through figurative language. The repetition of these motifs reflect and influence characters as well as develop themes.

Imagery is used to portray the themes of For the fire by John Foulcher and The surfer by Judith Wright by a variation of literary techniques and contrasting imagery types such as natural, animal and sensory.

There are two choices. In his poem “Fire and Ice”, Robert Frost compares and contrasts the two destructive forces: fire and ice.

Firstly, the poet uses the simile “like a demon” that demonstrates a “more-than-usually-complete materialization”. This simile compares the characteristic of ‘materialization’ to the starting of the tractor, where the phrase “more-than-usually-complete” emphasizes that the effort taken to start the tractor was immense and tremendously difficult such that the ignition of the tractor’s
