Eliot are great examples of exemplifying the theme. In Eliot’s poem Prufrock shows a lack of communication in that he is insecure, and he truly thinks everyone is talking about him and his looks. In Joyce’s poem, Gabriel shows how socially insecure he is. The authors realized the importance of being social among…

The migrant experience engenders growth and cultivation of the human identity, however the aspects of cultural belonging and the emotional remonstrance affiliated with adaptation, assimilation and personal transfiguration are concomitant to the journey. Peter Skrzynecki's poems ‘Postcard’ and ‘Feliks Skrzynecki’ from his acclaimed ‘Immigrant Chronicle’ capture the aspects associated with the migrant experience in vivid detail, his abstract use of motifs, personification and metaphors explicitly…
