Question

Describe the visual imagery in the last four lines of Television poem

Answer 1

Answer:

In the above-quoted lines from the poem “Television”, the poet has presented a remarkable visual imagery to lure the readers towards reading books. The nursery shelves holding piles of books, books cluttering up the entire floor, in the bedroom and by the bed waiting to be read vividly depict the positive craze of reading in a generation of people the poet talks about. This reaches to some point of eccentricity about reading books that is missing in today’s generation. The poet is sorrowful that the children of today’s world are far from this picture and rather happy staring at the television screen for extended period of time.

Answer 2

Last lines of the poem “television”:

Following is the visual imagery of last four lines of the poem “television”:

And at one phase they will grow so keen on reading books that they will surprise what they had found in that pointless machine called television. They will find the television screen ghastly and unclean then, as they will learn the real joy of reading books.

And finally, each and every kid will love the parents for giving them the chance to find real joy in reading books. Even when they would grow up, they would thank their parents for taking that television set away and connecting the book shelf there.

The poet believes for reading and only reading. Dahl thinks TV can never be a auxiliary for books. Books are the only things that can bring real wisdom.
