7.Attempt a critical analysis of the poem “Stone” by Brathwaite. 

1.   In this poem, dedicated to Mikey  Smith, the radical artist, we are confronted directly with the persona  of
the subject.
2.   The poem describes the last moments of Smith’s life when he was stoned to death on the Stony Hill.
3.   There is a sort of pathetic fallacy in the  predatory aspect of Nature:
(i)  As the first stone fell on Smith, it was morning and the sky was “johncrow” (threatening).
(ii) As the stone actually fell  on the persona, the sky became “the red sea sky.”
