Discuss the use of imagery and symbolism in the poem ecology
Answers
Answer:
The poet has tried to show the difference in the views of people belonging to the old generation (her mother) and those belonging to the new generation (poet’s). The old people have emotions, memories, beliefs, etc attached to the ecology.
For the poet, the Red Champak Trees have no use. Their pollens pollute the air and thus the city. They cannot be prevented from entering the houses and the human body.
The pollens are the cause of severe pain that his mother is suffering. As the poet has no emotions attached to the ecology or the trees, he decides to cut them.
On the other hand, his mother’s perspective is on contrary to his views. For her, the tree is not just a tree but a good omen for her and her house. It is the flowers of the Red Champak Trees which she and other people offer to the Gods and to their daughters.
This is what makes her consider her suffering a small sacrifice which she is giving to the tree. Read a detailed analysis of AK Ramanujan’s works

Explanation:
Imagery and symbolism add value to a poem.
Explanation:
Poems are a form of art where the poet uses words in a specific format and creates verses. This is used to depict feelings, incidents, etc. There are several tools a poet may use while writing a poem, of which, imagery and symbolism are two. Imagery refers to the creation of an image in the reader’s mind by evoking any of the five senses such as sight, taste, etc. while symbolism is a tool of poetry where the author writes to mean more than the words convey. Imagery is often based on how the reader imagines it while symbolism is a fragment of the talent of the poet to hide different meanings in the same words.
