STYLISTIC ANALYSIS ON ROALD DAHL’S POEM TELEVISION
Abstract
The effect of a poem is deliberately designed by the poet to make it meaningful and
emotionally attach the reader. Just like Television poem by Roald Dahl which employs
the language features, puts them as foreground, and affects the readers in meaning
making. The structure and figurative languages in the poem creates the tone that can raise
people awareness of the bad impact of television for children growth and on the other
hand gently reminds today’s parents about the goodness of reading books. This study
gives empirical evidences of such impression by showing the poetic devices and the
language features applied by the poet.
