What is the occasion,audience,purpose and subject of the poem?

OpenStudy (haileyd):

Awash By Brian Russell the unthinkable prospect of a world in which I am left to my own devices which are few and as soon as the batteries die useless first order of business I draw a map in the sand mark where I stand as the capital of civilization within me the detailed blueprints of the pyramids and the concept of zero beyond me the finite frontier the many miles of undeveloped shoreline with spectacular views of a sea filled with intricately depicted monsters I have a lot to do before I introduce the new world to art and astronomy and industry medicine and technology ethics politics democracy by a show of hands we shall elect which tree to burn in the first fire

OpenStudy (beccaboo333):

do you understand how to find the subject of the poem?

OpenStudy (haileyd):

isnt is what the poem is about??

OpenStudy (beccaboo333):

it's the main topic of what the poem would be talking about, sometimes with poems people who wrote it babble on with words to make it more appealing.

OpenStudy (haileyd):

ohh ok gotcah.

OpenStudy (beccaboo333):

now to find the occasion you need to look for what this could be going to or leading to. ex: and there we were headed to the ball oh we love to dance tis for them all

OpenStudy (beccaboo333):

and with the audience, meaning read the poem thoroughly.. see who it's directed to.

OpenStudy (beccaboo333):
