Question

how does the poet describe modern culture through the image of the piano​

Answer 1

Explanation:

In the poem “Piano and Drums” the poet Gabriel Okara depicts and contrasts two different cultures through symbolism of pianos and drums. The Poem is divided into four stanzas. The first two stanzas represent the “drum” culture and the second two stanzas show the “piano” culture. The description of the drums is in two stanzas, but is one sentence long.

The piano which is shown in the next two stanzas contrasts from the drum as it is separate from him, external, such as education and sophistication. The word ‘suckling,’ with the ‘s’ sound is one of instinct, becoming a baby again. It is reductive, taking away his manhood and sophistication, becoming a baby.
