MAN OF THE TV SAY (Reading like a Writer)

MAN OF THE TV SAY
“ Man of the TV say “ is a very powerful poem that describes the emotions and feelings that New Orleans habitants had when receiving the cold warnings of the media about the Katrina hurricane. The poem is structured mainly in four effective paragraphs; each one has a rhetorical function and determined purpose. The first paragraph acts as an opening, it lets the reader now the topic and introduce the sensation a first sensation of anger in the poem; the second paragraph gives the poem a racial and social context to the poem which makes even deeper the negative feelings against the “ MAN OF THE TV ” ; The third paragraph is a reaction towards the repeated order of going, and it exposes the humanity and indignation of the moment. And finally the fourth paragraph expresses the resignation of leaving home of leaving paradise.
There is a remarkable harmony between paragraphs and I think the poem as a whole is a reflection of this harmony. The voice and tone, as well as the vocabulary helps the audience to understand the social context of the author. The use of descriptions , in the first and second paragraph are not very sensorial descriptions, instead the use of small details build a entire ideas of what is happening. And the use of irony in the third and fourth paragraphs makes the sensation of anger and indignation complete.
