Question

Why poet write the poem television

Answer 1

If you mean this one, Television - Poem by Roald Dahl then that’s a good starting point for discussion. It raises the issue of children being subjected to a form of mesmerism or hypnosis or something akin to the story of the Stepford Children. The action being portrayed by editing for the audio and the video and whatever the producer or director wanted shared, regardless of truth or consequences.
So if the children read the author’s books directly, i.e. no accompanying illustrations, then the children would perceive what they could from the descriptions given. That separates each reader into their private appreciation or experience. Like virtual reality without restrictions. So a dog could be perceived as a Lassie dog or a sausage dog or a poodle. A young woman could be perceived as plain or pretty or pretty ugly.
Here, the poet has little respect for television whether it’s black and white or in colour or so technically advanced with other features it costs a fortune. You don’t borrow a television from a library, but nowadays, you can get a book, a large print book, an illustrated book, a graphic novel comic, an audio book, plus study notes or some DVD film or documentary and so on. The poet prefers the parents to create a book shelf entertainment centre, presumably based on their childhood book favourites meant for the children of all ages. Yes, there will be classics to recommend. There will be up-and-coming authors, too.
The Harry Potter films were created based on the books, yet to read the books would be utterly daft. The films are incredible. The Superman TV series and films contain fantastic sci-fi effects and comics are merely the forerunners of such conceptual art. I believe that television leads us to classic performances from considerably talented actors and actresses and these can’t be matched by the reading of books. So while the poet only offers us books, I would prefer a mixture of both books and television.

Answer 2

Heya!
Here,s your answer☜☆☞⌐╦╦═─
The poet has employed capitalisation in some places in the poem ‘Television’ to mark the most important messages he wants to convey. This is for the purpose of emphasis and drawing our attention. Actually he has used capital letters in two places — first to convey the harmful effects of television addiction on a child’s mind and brain and finally to highlight the words ‘READ’. 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. And the capitalisation helps him express his views more emphatically.
