CRITICAL – What does A.D. Hope’s poem Australia (written half a century after the 1890s) add to the debate on what is Australia?

Hey Jesse,

This was a very beautifully written piece that conveyed your points in a clear, direct manner. I felt that you felt very strongly about your post which amplified the effect of the text and enhanced my understanding.

I particularly enjoyed the ending in throwing it back onto your audience to form their opinion after a well laid out argument and analysis. There was also effective evidence, in which you pointed out examples in the stanzas, and explained the meaning behind literary techniques.

The only criticism I could point out is from a readability point of view, implementing paragraphs or spaces between your points would improve the flow and help the reader.

Look forward to hearing more of your work,

Thankyou 😊
