10. Journey Notes
• The poem relates to the film Red Dog as it deals
with the grief of a journey. The poem uses
metaphors like a “vast loom spun” to show how
the family‟s trouble has been spread far and
wide.
• It shows the white lies told to the child about
being on a „cruise‟ to cover that he is away from
them. The „Unspent years‟ is life‟s journey
without him because her husband is dead.
• Like the movie Red Dog this poem deal with a
sense of loss, this time as part of a journey to a
far away land.
