nobody calls me a wog, anymore AnalysisFrom the title, its obvious that the poet has been called a wog before, and it has reached a stop. From the authors name, it is clear that he is not a native born Australian, however a migrant. Through his first few verbs, it becomes apparent that Zervos, the poet, expresses his anger towards the ignorance of the Australians towards him, or more so his race. He reflects on the fact that the society doesnt accept him despite hes legally an Australian, which he is furious about. Earning no respect from the native Australians, he had decided to return the favour, and writes Australia with a lower case a in the beginning. One possible explanation is that Zervos is extremely disappointed by the local people, that he no longer wants to become an Australian, but rather just an australian, meaning he does not want to become a typical Australian person, but rather just a person from australia. Zervos clever use of language features spoke the inner most rage and frustration. He mocks those who are inferior yet look down on him and praises himself as he demands respect from the general Australian people.
