Introduction
Provocative texts can be highly effective in revealing common concerns between humans and
their world in a surprising and challenging way. By creating opportunities for audiences to
pause and reflect, composers of such texts shed light on the awe and wonder that encompass the
concept of change: how it is not always positive and that too much of it can arouse serious
implications. This is exhibited in Robert Grays poetry,
Flames and Dangling Wire
and
North
Coast Town
, in parallel to Andrew Niccols futuristic film
Gattaca
as they all stress how human
interference with the natural environment can manifest negative consequences, in turn
surprising and challenging conceptions held by responders.
Conclusion
Overall, it can be argued that Grays provocative texts are highly effective in revealing the
surprising and challenging nature of discovery, discussing the negative consequences of human
interference with the natural environment and hence challenging conceptions previously held
by responders.
