“Daarom”
(Therefore – this is why...)
14 versreels – 14 verses
Teenage boy – ekspreker tiener seun
He has acne, which is why he does these certain things.
SPIEELSKRIKKER – metaphor
Can't look in the mirror, the mirror gets a fright.
Ironie : dermatologists dream, kry geld, it's the boys nightmare
dream juxtaposing nightmare
Arms and Legs are too long
Snor- fluff on lip (reel 5)
6- tussen meisies ( ; ) craters in skin – gater in sy vel van sy aknee, idiot tussen meisies (2 meanings)
Daarom is a reason
Deurslaan- voice is breaking (this is how we know it's a boy, voice & mustache)
Hides under his fringe (parentese – ekstra informasie) – this is shown in brackets, he is a rebel for not
cutting his fringe, and hides his acne with it.
“Agteraf” hanging pants, “afsakbroek” to fit in.
Wat is die tyd in die poesie ? “ die tyd” - pubertyd, tienertyd (puberty)
14- Beklemtoon – verkwaasie, irateer.
Vree – vers = free verse.
Alliterasie, dubbelpint, metafoor.
“Staan op!”
( ! ) - Uitbreteken
Bevel- command, telling you to stand up (repetisie)
…. - elips (elipsis) – more information to come.
“Iets aan jouself te doen” - euthanism, saying something in a softer way, selfdood – saying you do
something for yourself eg. Suicide.
You are not alone – Jy is niets alleen.
“En kyk - hoeveel mense sit nog om jou?”
“Vraagteken”
(Translation – question mark)
Die seun is n “?” - she does not know his name, but puts his name everywhere to remember, but she's in
love with “?”.
Ekspreker (tiener meisie) – vreesvers
Stanza's are four lines – Quatrain (In afrikaans – quatryn)
Writes “?” everywhere.
“Graffiti”- english in the poem, Straatkyns in afrikaans.
“Want” because.
16- “T-hemp van my pyn” he could break her heart.
