The Cockroach

The poem The cockroach, written by Kevin Hall(a)igan, is a meaningful and inte roosting poem. As a Buddhist convert, the poet has use the travel of the cockroach to describe many aspects of compassionate breeding. Initially, Halligan presents human aliveness as smiling and excited in the childhood . A good illustration of this when Halligan uses the phrases tableing a ball of dust, satisfied and approach to thousand to present it. As we all cognise, the cockroach represent humanity and his tour is an extended metaphor for human flavour.So from that pass of view, we should understand that when the cockroach start to pace is when the human life starts. In childhood, we put forward pee-pee fun by do meaningless things with no specific finale just like the cockroach skirt s a ball of dust and live up to with that game. Children have their parental protection and they have nothing to worry about. Life was so easy, innocent and relaxed at that period of life. For the rest of the poem which also represents the rest of the life time we idlernot see other dustup that use to describe the positive feelings of the cockroach.So perhaps for Halligan, childhood was the most unaware portray of the entire human life. And done the poem, the readers can feel that this stage was short-lived. Secondly, Halligan memorialises that after childhood, life only remain with many bids and stout decision. For example, the poet describe that on the cockroachs journey, he jog s in round-backed ring, and cross his wings as hes a victim of a mild attack. This show that sometimes in their life, humans lose their goal, lost their direction or met a drama that they dont know what to do next but circling the gray table just like the cockroach.And a result of the loss of direction, the cockroach scratch es his wings, this is similar with how drama make us with a bad intellectual health. Yet in life, we have to reflection a lot of drama and variant kind of it. We can have drama like broken heart, the loss of a relative, failure in career solar day after day, we cannot startle rid of the picture it cause and the restlessness that worsened everywhere time. Life after childhood continues but with more problems, and we cannot go through it easily . Human can get lost and they cannot get out of their profess dramas . The persona now portrays human life as difficult and full of crises.
