antitheticiate how Nichols and Alvi explore the issue of identity in Hurricane Hits England and Presents From My Aunts In Pakistan In this essay I aim to compare the two poemsCompare how Nichols and Alvi explore the issue of identity inHurricane Hits England and Presents From My Aunts In PakistanIn this essay I aim to compare the two poems Hurricane Hits Englandby Grace Nichols and Presents From My Aunts In Pakistan by MonizaAlvi. I aim to analyse the language and structure shape of differentmeanings, also to see what take ons as a trigger in the two poems and finally to compare the issues rose about polish.Both of the poets feelings about their culture are triggered bysomething, which makes them think about how they feel. Alvi uses thepresents to act as a trigger, which makes her realise, she isnt ashappy as what she could be. When she describes herself as Staringthrough the fretwork, she shows that she feels torn between the twocultures. She also feels that she is stuck within the English culturebut wants to widen her familiarity to the Pakistani culture and maybeeven switch her culture. Another meaning to when she says this, isshe doesnt feel the fretwork is only iron but the English culture isthere stopping her and not the iron frame. Or it could even beherself that is stopping her because she is afraid of not fitting insince she has changed so much.In comparison, Nichols uses the hurricane to act as her trigger,how ever so, it doesnt have the same effect on her as it did on Alvi. When Nichols says It took a hurricane to bring her closer to thelandscape, she is talking about herself. When she says this, shemeans that ever since she moved to England, she has felt that he... ...ow the customs as well. Thequotes show that the Pakistani culture follows a tradition of wearinga salwar kameez, whereas the English culture follows a tradition ofquick and easy beds. She uses this as a contrast between the twocultures to make them apart. Throughout the poem Alvi explores thedifferent cultures and there meanings.Nichols refers to the cultures in different ways. When she writes, reproof to me HuraconOyaShango, she is directly addressing them andtalks to them as if they were her family.I personally think that each of these poems has its own uniquequalities, however my personal favourite is Presents From My Aunts InPakistan. I standardized this poem because Moniza Alvi manages to express herfeelings in a way that I have never been able to and also because shecan explore the way she feels by choosing different things to compare.
