dickens Scavengers in a Truck,Two Beautiful People in Mercedes and Nothings ChangedCompare and contrast of devil songs from unalike cultures-Two Scavengers in a Truck, Two beautiful People in Mercedesand Nothings Changed.Two Scavengers in a Truck, Two Beautiful People in Mercedes byLawrence Ferlinghetti, is a poem to the highest degree four very different peoplebrought together by work lights turning red. The poet isprotesting against the inequalities within a democracy. NothingsChanged by Tatamkhulu Afrika, is a poem which is also protesting, butabout the carriage black people are treated in a emerge where the poet usedto live, in District Six, in South Africa, where apartheid took place.In the poem Two Scavengers in a Truck, Two Beautiful People inMercedes, the poet compares four people. The four people are broughttogether by the traffic light turning red. The poem is set indowntown San Francisco at 9 Oclock in the morning.First he describes the deuce drivel men in their t ruck. He comparesthem with a very beautiful couple in their Mercedes, who have a verydifferent lifestyle.The poet describes the two garbage men as-two scavengers up since four a.m.grungy from their streetThis phrase creates the image of vultures swooping around SanFrancisco early while everyone is asleep, because vultures are frequentlydescribed as scavengers. The word grungy also makes it clear to the proofreader that the garbage men are dirty and grubby. The writer tells usthat the garbage men have been up since four a.m. This tells us thatthey are awkward workers. In contrast, the poet describes the couple inthe Mercedes as-The manin a hep three piece linen suitwith shoulder length fairish hair and sun... ...manner, and the writer clearly wantsto make himself heard. The poet, Tatamkhulu Afrika also talks abouthis own personal experiences, but on the other hand LawrenceFerlinghetti, dear writes about people he might have seen on thestreet.I personally preferred Nothings Ch anged by Tatamkhulu Afrika,although I really liked Two Scavengers in a Truck, Two BeautifulPeople in Mercedes by Lawrence Ferlinghetti, I thought NothingsChanged was more thought provoking and I hypothesize I learnt more aboutthe poet from it, because he was non afraid to gestate his line upingsand opinions. However, I agree with both of the poets on theiropinions. I think that everyone should be treated equally and no oneshould be made to feel like they are worse than someone else, justbecause they do not have a sophisticated car or because they are adifferent race or colour.
