[Thank you] 1) The poem juxtaposes guns and soldiers with the things of nature ('red flowers'- line 4, 'slender grass'- line 10).Why do you think this juxtaposition is do frequently used in this type of poem? 2) What is the effect of the repeated reference to 'my love' in the poem? 3) In the last line the 'man of death' is 'aiming at your dream'.What does this mean?What is threatened by the soldies if not life itself?

If it wasted ur time...why even bother to leave a comment? If you think your imbecile piece of criticism will,however, detract from our pleasure of enjoying this piece of literature! I say you're quite ignoble, dullard and desperate for attention. You've no appreciation for literature whatsoever! i totally agree with 'michelle'..."Beauty is in the eyes of the beholder"...you guys are quite blind, metaphorically speaking...(that goes for 'girl'...as well) As a 13 year old girl, in ninth grade and from Guyana "This is the dark time, my love" informs me of Guyana's past and makes me more appreciative of my country. I love literature and this is one of the interesting poems i've read. It's set in British Guiana when the govenor suspended the constitution and British soldiers were sent to 'maintain order'. ‘Proper english’, u say? your sentence isn’t even properly structured!

]]> Comment on Public Hospitals in Guyana by Angie http://voiceofguyana.com/2006/01/24/public-hospitals-in-guyana/#comment-18379 Angie Tue, 07 Oct 2008 12:11:53 +0000 http://voiceofguyana.com/2006/01/24/public-hospitals-in-guyana/#comment-18379 I must say that my mother was in a private hospital and received good treatment. But this was only because she could afford this. Do many people know that the same consultants etc who work in private also come from public hospital. I think it is a crying shame that people can only access good medical treatment if they pay for it. I remember on a visit to Guyana I was travelling in a mini bus with a lady who was visible sick when I asked her companion what was wrong with her, she said that her mother had a stroke, it was quite clear to me that this lady need to be admitted to hospital. I was very distressed by this. I love Guyana but I believe that Guyana needs to change, at some point I would like to live there and enjoy the land.
