The Manhunt – The title is a pun, she is searching for husband<\/p>\n
Only then \u2013 Repeated throughout the poem- his recovery was slow \u2013 step by step<\/p>\n
Trace \u2013 example of a gentle verb to show that his wife is gentle with him<\/p>\n
Frozen River- Metaphor- Scar or tears- cold-hearted person<\/p>\n
Blown hinge \u2013 Metaphor \u2013 he cannot open up to his wife<\/p>\n
Porcelain \u2013 he is now fragile<\/p>\n
And \u2013 repetition to show us that she has a lot to do to help him feel better.<\/p>\n
Fractured rudder- Metaphor- he has lost his way in life.<\/p>\n
Parachute silk \u2013 Metaphor- creates image of the collapsed lung also he is valuable to her- she wants to look after him<\/p>\n
Climbs the rungs \u2013 Metaphor- she is trying to get back into his heart.<\/p>\n
Grazed heart- Literally- he has damaged heart, metaphorically- he is upset.<\/p>\n
Fetus of metal – metaphor- represents the start of a big change in people lives, causing shock.<\/p>\n
Then \u2013 change from describing physical injuries to mental injuries.<\/p>\n
Scarring \u2013 Mental not physical<\/p>\n
Unexploded\u00a0 mine \u2013 Metaphor- at any moment, he could explode.<\/p>\n
Come close \u2013 she will never be able to completely heal him<\/p>\n
In the poem Enjambment shows it\u2019s a long process of recovery, its also Laura is speaking to us, revealing her innermost thoughts and feelings. Furthermore there are couplet- rhymed and rhymed no pattern to how he reacted to his injuries and how she can help him.<\/p>\n
