Michael Dransfield was also affected by the change and this has been reflected in poems “Minstrel” and “Prosperity” where he is comparing the natural world with the very mechanical one that humans tend to build for themselves. Michael Dransfield has been described as “one of the most widely read poets of his generation”. He has a very modernistic way of portraying significant ideas, which is seen through his use of language techniques such as sibilance, use of first person, assonance and alliteration. He exploits these techniques beautifully to emboss and emphasize the core concept of his poems. The word minstrel means a medieval singer or musician, especially one who sang or recited lyric or heroic poetry.
The dictionary defines love as “A strong personal liking”, But is that all love is? Love is never ending and can endure beyond the grave, it can create unforgettable memories, yet it can expose us to almost unbearable pain. Love is defiantly more than ‘a strong personal liking’.

In the novel the main character, Harry Hodby and his father, Mr. Hodby have both lost someone close to them.

Bruce Dawes Essay Bruce Dawes poems, written in the 1900’s, are very influential pieces, even to this day because the themes and ideas he wrote about have maintained relevancy to a contemporary audience. Dawes poems are largely cynical, he discusses problems that he sees in society. Three concepts which are discussed frequently throughout Dawes’ poetry are the meaninglessness of life, our materialistic lifestyles and the constrictive nature of society. These themes can all be adapted to modern situations and applied to modern people and society. Three of his poems ‘ enter without so much as knocking’, ‘life-cycle’, ‘homecoming’ and ‘’weapons training’ all strongly convey at least one of the above themes in quite similar way.
Evaluating ‘Finding Forrester’ Writing holds an almost mystical power. It changes those who wield it, and changes those around it. In “Finding Forrester” young Jamal Wallace uses this power to become the student of the reclusive William Forrester, a man so changed by the power of his writing he doesn’t even view himself as a human anymore, just the mystical author that wrote the amazing book “Avon Landing”. Their writing and the majesty behind it leads them to a level of trust and friendship that must withstand the force of each others frailties as well as the hammer blows of the world around them, and succeeds. “Finding Forrester” shows that geniuses don’t become geniuses by themselves, but only by allowing those close to them to uncover
