-The tone is of a protest
-there is Repetition: Aboriginal land
-Imagery: =when you hear the word developers you see Buildings
=when you hear the word Government you think about Parliament house in Canberra
- the effect that it took on me was that i thought about it and realised that what we as Australians have done to them and i was surprised how true it was.
-Issues was on sorry day were the government of Australia apologized on the events that took place in that poem but mostly the stolen generation

Mid-9th century –scott chauGood-looking young man in your Crimean shirt with your willow shield
up, as if to face spears,you’re inside their men’s Law,one church they do obey;they’ll remember you were here.
Keep fending off their casts.

Don’t come out of character.

Like you they suspect

idiosyncrasy of witchcraft.

Above all, don’t get out

too easily, and have to leave here

where all missiles are just leather
and come from one direction.

Keep it noble. Keep it light.

This is an aboriginal poem that talks an aboriginal cricketer. Literally this is talking about a batsman who faces a cricket ball. Metaphorically this poem talks about how we should face our fears. It also tells us to face them with confidence.In the last sentence, the author tells us to ‘keep it noble. Keep it Light’ I think this means that we should keep it simple and confront them one at a time. This poem is structured with four paragraphs, four lines on each. There is no rhyming scheme and the author has chosen to use short sentences to let us focus on the main point.

POEM BY JAMIE  The Stolen Generation
Someone
Turns out the last light
A Blackout
And
A dormitory full of black kids sigh
Unknowing
Waiting for parents to return
A shallow promise from government guardians
If you sleep
A white education waits
If you wake
And
Forgive
The theft of your black soul
And
The destruction of your family This poem is about how the aborigines use to live, there happy lives and one day the whitemen came along and took over the land. It says how the kids were crying and them waiting for there parents to come along so they could kill them. It is trying to say the whitemen took over the aboriginies land.

The Stolen Generation

Someone
Turns out the last light
A Blackout
And
A dormitory full of black kids sigh

Unknowing

Waiting for parents to return
A shallow promise from government guardians
If you sleep

A white education waits
If you wake
And
Forgive

The theft of your black soul
And
The destruction of your family

Analysis-

This poem is about young Aboriginal children who have been taken by the white people. The aboriginal children are in a dormitory which is guarded by many of the whites. The children have been left in the dark with no rights and no equal ability to the white people. The Children are hoping and praying that their parents might one day return to them to comfort them and save them from the torture of these white people. God help them.

SORRY DAY
