The simile helps the reader think of other mealy and crisp items, most of them won’t be very pleasant. Once again, Seamus Heaney relies on the idea that we ourselves will have images of things, and that we will use them and relate… sed” and “slung” and we can see vividly the kind of person that Dan is. He is not, at first impression, a nice man, because the words imply heartless and rough and uncaring behaviour towards the kittens. The words such as “pitched” are images of Dan’s cruelty to the animals, because it implies that he throws them rather that places them with care into the bucket. From him we get a good idea of life on the farm, because he plays a major part in Heaney’s memories.
