Last lesson (27.10.14)

      Last lesson on Monday, we were reading and talking about some poem from our English book called “ The right Word” by Imtiaz Dharker (1954, Pakistan/UK) and “Global  Village” by Yusuf M. Adamu ( Nigeria).

We read the poem out loud in class with the others, and we had to analyze the poem as we understood it in our own way. I choose just to write about “Global village”

Here is a little stanza from the poem:

“They try had in harder ways

 to make us part of that village

 but we know we are different and shall strive to live outside

 that fashioned unsafe village.”

My understanding as I’m reading these little stanza from the poem “ Global Village” by Yusuf M. Adamu. I’m think that is about race, the “leader” is trying to force people to do things they don’t want to do. Even though how much they are being forced, they know they will not be the same as the others.
