Awe is inspiring. It is a peculiar feeling. You never know when you’re going to feel it. It sneaks up on you‚ and then it’s there. There is no anticipating awe‚ no planning‚ no preparation for it. If you try to anticipate awe‚ you often don’t feel it. Our imagination can always be more extravagant than the world. We imagine how we should feel about something‚ and when that feeling doesn’t come to fruition we feel disappointment. Awe is the feeling of the world surprising us. No matter how dull and

John Agard’s ‘Checking out me history’ is written in dialectical non-standard English‚ where he has tried to input the natural sounds and phrases of a Caribbean dialect. This is important because one of the major themes of the poem is that of his personal identity; this use of language really highlights his different background and puts emphasis on his differences. His use of repetition‚ especially of the phrase “dem tell me” gives a sense of repetition and exaggerates the amount of things he was
