THEMATIC MESSAGE

• Thematic message is the lesson the poet is attempting to express in the poem.
• Here we ask ourselves questions like: What seems to be the poet’s purpose in writing this – what message, ideas, issues, themes, (etc.) are communicated?

Thematic Message in “THE GRACEFUL GIRRAFE CANNOT BECOME A MONKEY”

Africans should be proud of their identity. No matter what they do Africans will remain Africans.

MESSAGE in Building the Nation

·       If we wish to do well in nation building we must as public servants respect everything that belongs to the state; money, property, working hours etc.

·       If the high class is not careful with nation building one day the oppressed may revolt.
