How Dalat Got Its Name: Tone & Mode

Tone and Mood

* In this poem, the tone is one of the anger and indignation.
The poet is angry because Man has not taken good care of the environment.
In Stanza 1, he points out some effects of pollution - a dead crow, a baby
and an old man gasping for air.

Structure and Style

*It is written in free verse. This is in line with the poet's wish for a pollution-free
environment.

* The poet is written in two stanzas. Each stanza has four lines.
* The poet uses only one main literary device - symbol.
'The Dead Crow' is a symbol of the deadly effects of pollution on Man and Nature.
Repetition is also used to demand a clean environment.
( I want..... I want....)
