Up to  3 A - New poems for analysisUp to task document list

Men are, men are, men are.

Men are strong

Men are tough

Men are surely, men are rough

Men have mates

Men drink beer

Men are brave and don’t show fear

 

This extract is made of seven short lines.

In the first four ones the text talks about how men are and which are their features. From line five to seven it describes instead their passions and habits. These descriptions are only made by adjectives.

In the first line this repetition gives the idea that the speaker is thinking about men in order to try to describe them in the most complete way. In lines three and four, six and seven, there is a rime between the words “tough”, “rough” and “beer”, “fear”. These makes the rap more fluent. The language is of everyday life, with simple and common expressions.
