At the start of “Bullfrog” the speaker is reflecting youth and this is symbolised through Hughes’ anthropomorphic application to the strength of the frog’s legs “To thump upon double-bass strings” (Muldoon, 1997, p42), frogs don’t play the double bass so this metaphor alludes to the strength of youth. “This sort of comparison is properly called anthropomorphism, where human attributes are ascribed to something inhuman” (Brown, R D, Reputations (2014), p 44). Both poets also use simile as a device to represent frogs in terms of emotions. “A simile is a formal comparison which uses words such as “like” or “as” to connect one thing with another” (Brown, R D, Tradition and Dissent (2014), p 44).

Frog Defence Mechanisms Research into several frog species has produced evidence that although frog’s possess the same general characteristics, many different species have developed their own unique methods of defence and escaping predation. Some species of frog have discovered that one of the best forms of defence is simply to hide. Many frogs have developed a great number of different disguises to escape the sight of potential predators. For example the Mossy frog (Rana septentrionalis- Fig. 2.7) – is covered in small bumps and spines, (Raxworthy, 2007), which along with it’s brown/green colouration allows it to blend perfectly into it’s mossy surroundings.
