Question

How does the poet use sensory imagery to bring out the beauty of everyday work?

Answer 1

The poet uses sensory imagery by describing the different sounds, sights and activities connected with people’s work. For example, the humming of the electrician and the sounds associated with other workers help us imagine them doing their jobs. These lively sounds make ordinary work seem beautiful, cheerful and meaningful. The poet shows that everyday work has its own rhythm and beauty.
