why is the word never used 3 times in the poem television
Answers
Answer: The poet has employed capitalisation in some places in the poem 'Television' to mark the most important messages he wants to convey. ... Dahl wants to warn us against the excessive watching of television and then to suggest the better alternative in the form of reading books through his poem.
Answer:
The adverb ‘never’ is generally used to mean ‘not ever’. The purpose of using it is to stress the avoidance of something not agreeable or acceptable. In this stanza, the poet wants to say that children should not be allowed by their parents to spend a lot of time sitting before the television set, because this is a harmful practice in many ways. In order to assert this point forcefully, the poet repeats the adverb ‘never’ three times. The use of capital letters twice further reinforces his point.
