Notes from today's class.
How does Paterson convey the bond established between father and son in his poems, “Waking With Russell” and “The Thread”?
Paragraph/ Sections
1. The use of the “thread” as a metaphor.
2. The theme of flight.
3. The sonnet form
4. The fear of death (needs rephrasing, Mr C)
5. Giving purpose to life/ hope for the future
6. The feeling of connectedness
7. Contrast between innocence and experience
P oint
E xample
A nalyse
Paterson explains that the birth of his son has given purpose to his life. He says that previously he had lost “the true path”; but upon his son’s arrival the path was “lit”. This metaphor gives a clear image of Paterson’s life being illuminated

i need another topic for a paragraph to do, ive done:
flight as a metaphor
giving purpose to his life
feeling hope for the future
the fear of death
and ive still got one about innocences + experience and a conclusions, but altogether that doesnt seem to be long enough, whats another i can do?
Actually, ignore that, how could I have been so blind?
