    Bruce Dawe’s poem‚ Migrants‚ portrays a long quest from the perception of a migrant group. The particular group is acknowledged as “they” as they were met with indifferences from the locals. “They” reacted to this treatment with surprise and confusion which is made evident in the line‚ “indifference surprised them..” which creates a sense of ambiguity and lack of identity.
