Analysis of "Naming parts" and "The transcript of a classroo

             Write an analysis of "Naming parts" and "The transcript of a classroom conversation".
             "Naming of parts" is a lyric poem dealing with the contrast between nature and war whereas "The transcript of a classroom conversation" deals with the relationship between teacher and pupil and the difference of status throughout the conversation. The most noticeable thing about "Naming of parts" is the difference between the two speaker's thoughts. One is talking about guns which are used to kill whereas the other is talking about nature and living things. This is very different to the transcript which deals with a teacher trying to help a student having problems with his work.
             "Naming of parts" is written about the war and has two different speakers with very different things on their mind. The first speaker, with the most status is talking about guns and the different parts of them. He is very clear and to the point. However the second speaker talks about nature and life. This is presented as a stream of conciseness which is reflected in the structure. The first speaker mainly uses declaratives as he instructs what to do with the gun. This doesn't give the reader a very strong relationship with this speaker which highlights the little relationship we have with the other. At the end of each stanza a line from the first speaker is repeated which could be for emphasis or to show that the second speaker is in a world of his own and is not really listening.
             The attitudes of the first speaker are reflected by his language which is very clear and to the point. It shows that his attitude is that he needs to get the job he is meant to be doing done. By his distant, formal language we could assume that he is trying to distance himself from what he has to do and that he doesn't agree with using guns but feels he has to use them to help his country.
