 Studying kamikaze? Here's how you can analyse this poem. In terms of structure this poem is written as seven stanzas which assess teds. Pay attention to the title it is a reference to Japanese suicide pilots who fought during World War II. The sibilance in stanza one is powerful as it shows the pilot's determination to carry out his suicide mission. The onjomon unhyperbole here shows how proud the pilot was to die for his country. Yet the Suzuru here signals a turning point. He's starting to doubt his mission. The simile and the vivid natural imagery here shows that nature inspired him to want to live. The semantic field of family is used to show that he wanted to grow old with his family. Sibilance here creates vivid visceral imagery. The pilot wanted to live to see all of this. Italics here shows the pilot's daughter directly interjects. Illiteration on an onjomon shows that once the pilot decided to come back he became an outcast in his community. Hyperbole shows the family he wanted to live for rejected him. Illiteration at the end is poignant. He's a social outcast who suffers a social death.
