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 all tierce of the verse forms the graduation line has a very large link with all the Irish dustup or the geography of Ireland. For example in Anahorish the origin line explains what the title means. He says my place of clear water , the reason he uses the word my during this is so that the poem is hold inn through his eyes and gives the reader a first person view of what he is seeing and doing and why what he has written is so significant to him. It also shows by using this that he feels comfortable in this place and it is as if it was a safe seaport for him, thus showing how he feels when he is in Ireland, safe and secure.solely in Broagh the same thing happens he firstly shows what the title of the poem means and in this case it means riverbank. This way of writing is significant because it is showing that he is proud of Ireland and that he is proud to teach others roughly his culture and what it means to be Irish. In A immature Song the first line once more has a dir ect link with Ireland, scarcely this term it is non linguistic as in the other two poems but it is geographical. He states I met a girl from Derrygarve, this obviously being a place in Ireland. But notice must again be shown to the way in which the sentence is written.The use of I showing that it is again in first person, the significance of this is because that he is proud to notify others ab start where he comes from and what it is like in Ireland for those who have never been thee before. lots of the content in all of the poems is about how Heaney perceived the world most him, especially the geographical world when he was a child. Examples of this in Anahorish be the first hill, springs, Shiny grass and vowel meadow. These ar all ways in expressing his identity and are about him growing up, for example vowel meadow is used.I believe that this has a duple purpose in the poem, firstly it is used to show how his use of linguistic communication progressed as he grew old er and also how Gaelic has many distinct uses for vowels therefore contrasting it with the English language which has a fairly standard vowel pattern. An example of this in Broagh is The garden mould, this shows Heaneys sense of belong 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 more 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 set any more and might as well just be English which he would not want as Heaney wishes to remain disassociate from the rest of the United Kingdom. Also during the poems he often hints and m etions how people who are not Irish i. . the English find it very difficult to say the Gaelic language. This is most outstanding in Broagh, like that last gh the strangers form difficult to manage, here it is evident that Heaney is proud of his language and puts forth the point that not many people are able to let the cat out of the bag it correctly. This therefore separates the Irish from the English. You can also clearly see this in A new song when it says to flood with vowelling embrace, this means that he would like to see Gaelic spoken more widely maybe through out the world or maybe just Ireland.
