Write a critical appreciation of the poem., The song ‘Bang the Drum’ is written by Bryap, Adams and Nelly Furtado. It is a tribute to the athletes, who participated in the 2010 Winter Olympics at Vancouver, The song begins with an exhortation that together, we can reach for the sky. Athletes have gathered from the, East and the West to compete. Participating and playing a, fair game is more important than winning it. Each of the, participants is pursuing the dream by working hard. The, author advises to make louder the banging of the drum, and the singing of the song for the whole world can hear, wherever they are.It is the appointed time to dream big, and aim high. One must believe in oneself. The author, encourages to jump higher since the whole world can see, them . Again the author advises to make louder the banging, of the drum and the singing of the song for the whole, world can hear., The song progresses in the mood of merriment., It is divided into four stanzas though the line count differs., The rhyming words used in the poem adds recital beauty. The, refrain the whole world can hear sustains the energy of the, song. Little louder is a repeated alliteration. Similarly the, whole world is a repeated consonance. The author presents, a simile ‘like the wind’. Singing louder and banging the drum, louder are examples of auditory images which express, the merriment of the occasion. The choice of words are, very simple and easy to comprehend.
