With Close reference to Broagh, Anahorish and Anew Song, write about Heaney’s use of language as a way of celebrating his Irish identity

In every last(predicate) three of the verses the first line has a very solid link with either the Irish language or the geography of Ireland. For example in Anahorish the first line explains what the title means. He says my go under of clear water , the reason he uses the word my during this is so that the poem is seen through his eyes and gives the reader a first person get of what he is seeing and doing and why what he has written is so signifi give the gatet to him. It also shows by using this that he feels comfortable in this place and it is as if it was a safe haven for him, thus showing how he feels when he is in Ireland, safe and secure. unless in Broagh the same social function happens he first off shows what the title of the poem means and in this face it means riverbank. This way of writing is significant because it is showing that he is majestic of Ireland and that he is proud to teach others ab aside his culture and what it means to be Irish. In A New Song the f irst line again has a direct link with Ireland, but this time it is non linguistic as in the other two poems but it is geographic. He states I met a girl from Derrygarve, this obviously being a place in Ireland. But nonice moldiness again be shown to the way in which the denounce is written.The use of I showing that it is again in first person, the signification of this is t presentfore that he is proud to tell others about where he comes from and what it is standardized in Ireland for those who have never been thee before. Much of the content in all of the poems is about how Heaney perceived the humanity around him, especially the geographical world when he was a child. Examples of this in Anahorish are the first hill, springs, glassy grass and vowel meadow. These are all ways in expressing his identity and are about him growing up, for example vowel meadow is used.I believe that this has a dual purpose in the poem, firstly it is used to show how his use of language progr essed as he grew former(a) and also how Gaelic has many another(prenominal) different uses for vowels therefore contrasting it with the slope language which has a fairly regular vowel pattern. An example of this in Broagh is The garden mould, this shows Heaneys sense of belonging to Ireland, as mould is something, which belongs to the garden, and with out it would not feel correct. So therefore it is a metaphor, Heaney representing the mould and the garden representing Ireland.This meaning that he was so much a part of Ireland that it would not seem right if he was not there. A piece of geographical imagery in A New Song, which shows Heaneys Irish identity, is But our river tongues must rise. This is about how the Irish language must keep on going and not be forgotten. He says this because if it does the Irish will not be able to be identified any more(prenominal) and competency as well just be side which he would not want as Heaney wishes to remain separate from the rest of the United Kingdom. in like manner during the poems he often hints and metions how people who are not Irish i. . the English find it very difficult to speak the Gaelic language. This is most owing(p) in Broagh, like that last gh the strangers found difficult to manage, here it is evident that Heaney is proud of his language and puts forward the point that not many people are able to speak it correctly. This therefore separates the Irish from the English. You can also clearly see this in A new song when it says to engorge with vowelling embrace, this means that he would like to see Gaelic spoken more widely perhaps through out the world or maybe just Ireland.
