Read the poem again. What is special about this poem in terms of: 1 Rhyme and rhythm 2 Choice of words: formal / informal, neutral / emotionally coloured. 3 Length and type of sentences used. STEALING The most unusual thing Ive ever stole? A snowman. Midnight. He looked magnificent; a tall, white mute beneath the winter moon. I wanted him, a mate with a mind as cold as the slice of ice within my own brain. I started with the head. Better off dead than giving in, not taking what you want. He weighed a ton; his torso, frozen stiff, hugged to my chest, a fierce chill piercing my gut. Part of the thrill was knowing that children would cry in the morning. Lifes tough. Sometimes I steal things I don39;t need. I joy-ride cars to nowhere, break into houses just to have a look. Im a mucky ghost, leave a mess, maybe pinch a camera. I watch my gloved хэнд twisting the doorknob. A stranger39;s bedroom. Mirrors. I sigh like this Aah. It took some time. Reassembled in the yard, he didnt look the same. I took a run and booted him. Again. Again. My breath ripped out in rags. It seems daft now. Then I was standing alone among lumps of snow, sick of the world. Boredom. Mostly Im so bored I could eat myself. One time, I stole a guitar and thought I might learn to play. I nicked a bust of Shakespeare once, flogged it, but the snowman was the strangest. You don39;t understand a word Im saying, do you? Carol Ann Duffy
Задать свой вопрос1 Lines are not rhymed and the rhythm is very irregular.
2 It is a natural spoken register, sometimes, low style (for example, pinch, nicked, flogged).
The words arc mostly neutral except for some instances like fierce chill", mucky ghost",
twisting (not turning!) the doorknob, my breath ripped out in rags.
3 Short, sometimes one-word sentences. They often start in one line and end in the
middle of the other line. Some sentences are incomplete (line 13 with the subjects missing).
