North Coast Town

North coast town- related to the journey.

1. The usual significance of daybreak in literature is the beginning of a new day a clean fresh start ‘’ first thing is the morning’’ it’s the opening of the poem
2. We get the poets perspective , the hitchhiker. Its important because hes only passing though on his journey to get somewhere.
3. the shell garage represents his experience with industrialization shells are also represented on the rsl walls, water refers to the tap and a brief wash. He was doing his early morning abolitions.
4. Also refers to the mud. This is not the expected experiences of the hitchhiker because everything was closed. The message of the lines” palm fronds scrape dryly” and “pass an abo, not attempting to hitch ,outside town” means
5. gray makes the poem real to us by saying stuff that makes us create pictures in our heads of were he is like in the opening line out beside the highway, first thing in the morning nothing in my pockets but sand makes us automatically imagine a highway next to a beach.And when he says two hoods going shooting, tattoos and greasy fifties pompadours rev in high street creates a image in our head of rebels breaking rules
6. Overall this poem negative judgement of north coast towns. -mens is locked -vandals lavatory -palm fronds scrape here dryly -two hoods – shooting tattoos and greasy fiftys pompadours -drop their first can – plastic pennants -distilled morning –
