Is it ok to use 3 poems from skrzynecki's Immigrant Chronicles.
The idea behind all this journey stuff is not to just select 3 poems but look at the Immigrant Chronicles as a whole. How does poetry effectivly put across a journey. So yeah, if you want to mention 3 i'd choose one from the beginning, one in a pause, and one at the end. (i'm doing Crossing the Red Sea, Migrant Hostel and Drive in the COuntry) but they are only to label certain techniques. What you want to do is see the journy as a whole and how Skrzynecki conveys it all, eg, what techniques, find examples. I suggest those three poems cos that way you can sort of adapt to the question eg, Physical journey, mandated journey, Crossing the red sea Hiatus, Pause or diversion, Migrant hostel Emotional journey, personal growth, A drive in the country. Remember, we have like 13 poems to study instead of one text, thats not just 3 poems, thats the whole Immigrant Chronicles and the whole journey we need to cover. Poems are only to example the "how" and "what". Hope that helped.
