SaintHephzibah:Thanks boss.... Below is the analysis of the poem piano and Drums by Gabriel Okara Talking about riverside in the morning, jungle drums, primal youth, panther, leopard, hunters and spears should give an idea that the stanza isabout a rural setting, a village let’s say. Usually inthe villages people go to the stream early in the morning to get water. Perhaps the persona has just done the same, and he hears the sound of drum in the bushes; and drums are sometimes used in the villages to send messages to the people. He “hears the jungle drums telegraphing the mystic rhythm” – a message of urgency and fear about the illiterate villagers who are mostly hunters. The people are faced with a leopard – adangerous animal.I am sure you now have a picture of villagers, precisely youths, trying to defend themselves against a leopard in the bush in the morning. Now find the meanings of difficult words in stanza two.Line nine shows the terrible feeling of the person and suddenly, he feels like a baby who cannot help himself because he does not know how. He is confused in this jungle and feeling helpless.In stanza three he hears “a wailing piano where the singer’s voice is that of weeping and talking about something new that has forced itself into the society to change the original existence.Stanza four he says he is lost and confused because of the nature of the jungle drum and concerto.The jungle drum represents our traditional society, its culture and experience. The piano concerto represents the western civilization. It is true that this days, the African society is a mixture of African traditions and western civilization so that people are confused not know how to live the tow. They find it difficult to hold onto any of the two alone. This is the position of the persona on the sad note. Civilization has changed our way of life yet it hasnot left it any better.How do you feel at this point? The poem is simple, is it not?Now let’s examine the poetic devices Okara has used. You can try that first before you come back and we do it together.*.You can notice the flow of idea from line one to line two, what do you call that? It is a run on line. The writer uses that to break the long whole of idea into smaller parts so the reader can follow easily. The poem has run-on-line all through.*.I hear the jungle drums telegraphing. You may ask; can drums send telegraphs? So, what would we call such expression? “The same applies to wailing piano.” Is it personification?*.Line 4 – “like bleeding flesh” is an example of simile. The writer compares the mystic rhythm to a wounded body to make the message of agony very vivid.*.“break of day” in line one, shows the repetition of vowel sounds which is an example of assonance. Likewise “jungle drums.”*.Alliteration can be seen in “panther …pounce, turns torrent, morning mist”.*.Repetition – “at once” is repeated in lines 11 and 13*.Metaphor – “my blood ripples”. |

In literature, the word drama defines a genre, or style of writing . drama is a play that can be performed for theatre, radio or even television. These plays are usually written out as a script, or a written version of a play that is read by the actors but not the audience. |

| Phones › Tecno L5 Price In Nigeria And Specifications by dannyfillz(op): 10:28am On Nov 24, 2015 |
A friend unboxed Tecno L5 yesterday and I was
amazed. Although Tecno L5 isn’t popular yet but
the device battery will set a pace for it in the
market.
As it was first seen in the new Innjoos that
features a 5000mAh battery capacity, so also is
Tecno L5 featuring the same battery capacity. It
was Tecno L6 battery capacity we saw that
amazes us but Tecno L5 seems better.
If you are looking at Tecno L5 from the direction
of its specs, you will be discouraged with what
the device has, although the new Tecno L5 still
feature the latest Android 5.1.1 Lollipop but
other specs isn’t found in the family of High end
Tecno phone.
Tecno L5 is a 4.5 inch display smartphone that is
proudly powered by 1.3 GHz quad core
processor with 1GB RAM and 8GB internal
storage with an expandable microSD up to
64GB.
The smartphone features a 5MP front camera
and 2MP back camera for selfie snappers.
Tecno L5 is a low Budget smartphone that offers
value for your money. The device is expected to
be generally available in Nigeria online store
latest on the 27th, Nov 2015.
Tecno L5 price ranges from 15,000-19000
depending on your favourite store. 1 Like 1 Share
