English (Warning: Unfinished)

• A lament is an expression of sadness. With close reference to the text, discuss the style used
• in the non-italicised section of the poem to convey this sadness.

In the poem “Lament”, Glenn Colquhoun uses many techniques to effectively convey the
feeling of sadness.One such technique is personification. For example, we see Colquhoun
uses personification in his similes to describe the world around the narrator as if they were
human like “if the front door trembles like a lip” and “trees keep their shadows tightly to
themselves” This humanizes the world as if it is going through stages of grief. This
technique greatly ties into the idea of grief and how it can change the way we perceive the world. 

Character Strength Questions

1. What holds you back from trying to be creative?

Trying to actually do the creative thing, It’s just too much work and it becomes annoying. Also I get tired really quickly and thus it gets boring.

2. How do real or anticipated reactions of other people affect your creative efforts?

It gives me a high expectation of my art and life that when I get mediocre reactions it makes me wanna die.

3. How do you use creativity to help solve your own life problems or those of your family, friends, and colleagues?

I use my brain to think outside of the box and make people think differently.

4. How do you express your judgment/critical thinking to others?

By telling them directly without a filter cause it be like that sometimes.

5. When you are trying to make decisions, what leads you to lose perspective of the big picture?

Emotions and how other people tend to emotionally react.

6. With what people and in what circumstances is it difficult for you to think rationally without being confused by strong emotions?

Literally everyone I care about must die simultaneously in order for me to be confused by strong emotions. The nice thing about being deaf is that your thoughts are loud when you can’t hear, which is what I do if I’m feeling a bit too emotionally confused. 

7. What are you most curious about? Were you a curious child and adolescent?

No, I was a very boring child until late primary school.

8. How has your curiosity been affected growing up? If it has changed over time, why is that?

Discovering new things became a fun habit when I was in the school library. Searching for a hidden gem is a pastime that still stays with me.

I just enjoy searching for things whenever possible, it's fun!
