Vikram Seth has depicted the gruesome reality of first-ever nuclear explosion that was dropped on the city of Hiroshima by the US. The bomb was named ‘Little Boy’ and it was dropped because the government of Japan refused to surrender unconditionally in the Second World War. Three days later, another was dropped onto the city of Nagasaki. The cities turned into a living hell with the survivors running with molten skin dripping off their bodies. The smell of charred bodies and painful screams were heard everywhere.
“We have all had that person who made us feel like a million dollars.” iii. Onomatopoeia – The sound “boom” with the words “flash” and “destruction” paint us a picture of a bomb exploding and by using the protection of children and mentioning their fear (emotion) this helps others provide empathy and either relate to their fear or feel sad for these children. “Many of us have heard the boom, and seen the flash of which all destruction came along with it. We can all change this and protect many children from having to also be in fear from the sound of death” iv. Personification - This is developing the impression that time has living qualities such as the ability to fly or speed up or slow down, when we all know time is never changing its speed and is always constant.

The ambiguous flashbacks visualise the importance of having family and friends as Colin is caught up in long lost memories as a young offender in Borstal. We learn about the death of Smith's father and his mother’s spending spree provided by “insurance and benefits”. We witness Colin’s robbery of the bakery and his arrest. The stage opens with Colin Smith (Elliot-Barnes Worrell) running, alone, along a bleak country road somewhere in rural England. In a brief voiceover, Colin tells us that running is the way his family has always coped with the world's troubles, but that in the end, the runner is always alone and cut off from spectators, left to deal with life on his own.
He studied art in Brussels, Belgium for 6 months in 1880 and 1881. In the summer of 1881, van Gogh fell in love with his widowed cousin, but was rejected.

In McKay’s poem he illustrates a theme of the pure courage and will power needed to take part in battle, the grinding and grit needed when your back is up against a wall, that feeling that today could be your last. This is the feeling I had since day one of stepping on to that field at the college level. I believe that McKay wrote this poem with direct links to his college experience as well. In 1906 he attended a trade school that was burnt down to the ground after his first year of attendance. He could have just given up on his writing career but he kept plugging away and was noticed by Walter Jekyll, an English buff who became McKay’s mentor and pushed him in the right direction (Giles).
