Erebus Voices- Bill Manhire 

Personification:

• I am the one with a truly broken heart 
• I am tears which you will keep tomorrow 
• And I am still a hand, a fingertip, a ring 
• I am here beside my brother,Terrow 

Repetition:

•  Yet we
•  I am 
•  Yet we are loved

• Yet we were loved and we are 

What does the writer want you to imagine or understand:

I think that the writer wanted us to understand that everyone lost
something or they were hurt.The mountain also didn’t want this
to happen and the mountain was sad.

   

What is being emphasised & why:

The people that were killed aren't physically still here but they
are still here in our hearts.

1)(What is the title)Erebus Voices

2.(What is the name of each part) The mountain & The dead  

3) I think the poet chose to do this so that there are 2 different
parts of the story and how each of them felt I also think that
they did it to show that the mountain was also very sad that this
happened.

Do you think that the title is important: 

Yes the titole tell you the name of the mountain that the plane
crashed.

What do you think about the poem:

The poem made me learn a lot because I did not know
about this horrific plane crash, I would definitely be
interested in learning more about it in my own time like
finding out exactly where it was going at the time of the
crash . When I read the poem I did feel sad for all the
people who lost their lives and for the people who lost their
loved ones. I love how the poem shows how the mountain
felt. I feel sad for the mountain because it didn't want any
of this to happen and now no planes ever fly over the
mountain so they can’t appreciate how beautiful it is.
I can't imagine how scary it would have been for the people
that were on the plane at the time of the crash the people
would have been looking forward to the once of a life time
opptunchty  but the poem explains it really well and I love
how the poem shows, (The Mountain) and ( The Dead).
