Further Analysis
Tone
ⱡ suspense (Gespanne), unrest (onristig)
Title
ⱡ A tightrope walker is someone who walks on a rope high above the ground
carefully balancing themselves with every step. The speaker sees his life as a
balancing act where he must be focused all the time so that he doesn’t fall to
the ground. (A touloper is iemand wat op 'n tou hoog bo die grond loop en
hulself versigtig balanseer met elke tree. Die spreker beskou sy lewe as 'n
balanseertoestand waar hy die hele tyd gefokus moet wees sodat hy nie op die
grond val nie.)
ⱡ The tightrope walker is a metaphor for life, there may be storms in life, but if
you focus on the rope (your own life), you will not fall. (Die touloper is ‘n
metafoor vir die lewe, daar mag storms in die lewe wees, maar as jy op die tou
(jou eie lewe) focus, sal jy nie val nie.)
Structure
ⱡ Vrye vers (free verse)
ⱡ Die spreker is ‘n ek-spreker (first person speaker)
Important notes
ⱡ The word “vorentoe” shows that there is progression, and that the teenager is
moving forward with his life in spite of “storms”. (Die word “vorentoe” wys
dat daar progressie is en dat die tiener vorentoe beweeg met sy lewe ten
spite van “storms”.)
