Half - caste Flashcards
What is the message of the poem
Stop using the term half caste as it affects people from different races.
And that being mixed race is beautiful as he compares himself to artwork
What does standing on one leg imply
People see him as half a person due to his race
What does the refraime of explain yuself suggest
He wants to challange his audiences prejudices and assumptions
Why does the poet bring in a reference to picaso
He is criticising the concept of half caste as he highlights how mixed tings are viewed negatively when describing race but positively when describing art.
What do the contrast with the black and white keys suggest
Being mixed race is good as both black and white piano keys together create something harmonious.
What does the extended metaphor suggest
There is a perception of people who are mixed race as not being whole or being disabled by their race.
