Answer to Question 1


  • In just about every conceivable way. Brookss characters are aimless dropouts who pass their time in idle and destructive self-indulgence; they see no future for themselves, and they seem resigned to an empty existence of transient pleasures and early death. Heaneys characters are intense, inquisitive strivers, goal-oriented and focused on a future of achievement and reward.

He uses magnificent twice, describing how ordinary birds became magnificent and how J.W.s voice was comforting, magnificent. And he uses ordinary three times, to describe the birds and sky. Yet beyond pointing to this magical alchemythe transformation of the ordinary into the magnificentthe speaker is for some reason unable to explain exactly what happened when he met J. W.
