Imtiaz Dharker has showed a strong representation of discrimination in the poem ‘The Right Word’ which is clearly a very blatant way to blur the reader’s observation as to how the person feel in the poem. I think she has also expressed the consequences and effects of conflict in a much stronger way by balancing each stanza to a different interpretation towards the person who was supposedly trying to become a hidden presence. For example, she first construes the person as a terrorist very boldy, but then as the poem begins to unravel, she begins to lighten up on the subject, describing the person to be ‘taking shelter’ instead of hiding in the shadows
