Poetry - Television by Roald Dahl

Sit back and enjoy this Roald Dahl poem called "Television".  

The first version has been made by a student and the filming follows the words and images in the poem.  The second version shows the pages of a picture book, which will probably be useful for answering the final question below.








What are your first impressions of the poem? What do you like or dislike? How do your impressions change on your second viewing?


Do you agree with Dahl? Why? Why not?


I love the words that  Roald Dahl use in his writing, this is one of my favorite parts of the poem 


"In that "ridiculous machine,
That nauseating, foul, unclean,
Repulsive television screen!" . 

I really like the way he chooses such strong words, and lists adjectives to emphasise his point.  

Which part of the poem do you like best and why?
