Peter Skrzynecki presents three different perspectives of the migrant experience. The first perspective is that migrants lose their culture and their homeland.Secondly migrants experience barriers to the process assimilation into their new culture. The final perspective is that of the search for a personal identity within a new culture.
The perspective at lose their can be seen the poem Feliks Skrzynecki. In this poem peter Skrzynecki writes he is losing his culture and how his sadness of his progressive loss of his understanding of his language.
The perspective of migrants experience barriers to the process assimilation into their new culture shows in the poem 10 Mary Street that uses the Quote" bursting at the seams" that indicates the reinforces the sense of change and assimilation. in this poem he uses words as symbolic for things for example narrow bridge. This poem was presented in present as thinking of past for example what you'll be imagining about the past now. this shows how his perspectives changes as he grows older.
Finally the perspective talks about search for a personal identity within a new culture. This shows in the poem Post Card, this poem addresses the town as an old friend and thinking about it as his life moves on. The thought of Warsaw: Panarama of the Old Town scares him to imagine about things that happened in past. It brings his memory back as the war is happening now. His perspective of Post Card is Questioning his identity for example" Who am i?".
