What is the context of The Emigree?

And does anyone have any ideas for a point to how is the topic of Memories is presented in Emigree (like how they are presented negatively in Kamikaze for example)?

OP

Anyone?

Thanks but I don't really find them useful, especially Mr Bruff. He seems to know less about the poem than I do and I am still stuck.

Mmmmm ok then. To find the context you just need to do a bit of research into the background. That is just a bit of googling and reading. If you find you are superior to Bruff then you wont have any problem getting a 9, then.

I didn't say I was better. .I just said that he didn't really say a lot in that video that I didn't already know. How would you phrase the point? Would it be the poet presents memories as positive? And could another point be like they present memories as something that can constantly stay and effect a person?

Basically you can argue that the poet uses language such as 'sunlight' to present the idea that the memories are happy, and positive. If you get this question you can compare it to 'Checking out me history' by Agard and how his language is brutal and the memories he has are negative, and how they contrast
