Hunting Snake by Judith Wright Essay

eldest of all remember that we would never know what ex operationly the poet is trying to mention and non of the comments mint said to be wrong Great black snake represents the aborigin people in Australia and the person who gets sc ard of this snake is an English occupier. The word black is simply you can understand that it means black people and snake is a doddering animal who lives on their own land just humans are the occupiers and the writer at the same time fears and reveres the snake while the snake fled which mean the snake is also afraid of the people.As you can understand in present time, English people have started moving to Australia in clubhouse to get that place and the aborigins, the original people of Australia is being ignored at the same time we admire them but this admire is so extreme and unnecessary that we make them feel like theyre wild animals. And if you ever go to Australia, you would see that the tour guides would show the local people of Australia, the aborigins with their hands and we would admire them but we will never chat with them or have any talk between as we are scared and this is also the way we treat the wild animals.In the first stanza, we can see a perfect Picture of the atmosphere. The sky is in gentlest way despite when the person sees that great black snake, we can understand that with using the word great, person admires the snake. But why is the word black is use? As you can understand the color black represents darkness which humans fear. Also dont we talk about racism, the black and white people. We treat the black people as the same way, we act like theyre aliens, like theyre different from us and also we show an unnecessary fall of admire which makes them more alienated.
