Television - Poem By Roald Dahl Kenneth Reads You A Story

    • Books

Television is a poem by Roald Dahl, talking about the problem with letting children watch too much television. How staring constantly at a screen for entertainment leads the brain to rot and fizzle. This poem uses a ton of poetic devices with Hyperboles, Similes, Metaphors and alliteration galore, (If you look harder, There's probably more)

I like the message of the poem of replacing the passive entertainment of the Television with books of different kinds, and all the references to classic stories and characters within the poem.
