YELLOW OR RED

YELLOW OR RED The poem "Yellow or Red" was written by Preeyatik Buranasin. It was
based on the political conflict in Thailand between the People's Alliance for Democracy and
the People's Power Party. Both wore the following colors, such as yellow and red
respectively, and used the color 'yellow' or 'red' to represent the two parties. It happened
after him in 2005 and his 2006 crisis. PAD adherents wear yellow shirts, which symbolize King
Bhumibol's royal colors, and are supporters of UDD (democracy against dictatorship). It
supported Prime Minister Thaksin dressed in red, who was ousted in a military coup in
September 2006. The poem uses Paige's two chosen colors of his to create a metaphor in
which the speaker compares himself to the color spectrum. Asia is the largest and most
diverse continent in the world. The total area of Asia, including Russia in Asia but excluding
the island of New Guinea, is about 17,226,200 square miles, which is written in yellow or red.
Yellow or Red is written by Preeyatik Buranasin, a writer during the week and an English
teacher during the weekend. He has a Bachelor's degree in English and a Master's degree in
English Literature.
As a student and according to my knowledge there are someone asked the speaker if
it was yellow or red in lines 1-6 of the poem. The narrator does not believe he belongs to the
two. On the next line, the speaker considered choosing between two colors to challenge his
opponent's right side. A speaker is like a combination of the two. He was asked if it was
yellow or red. He replied with a mixture of colors and personalities. It means a conflict
between two parties, there are two parties. One is yellow and the other is red. The poem
makes use of the two colors written on either side of the poem to make a metaphor of it.
Buranasin compares herself to various human colors. A color that is neither yellow nor
red. He is the one who represents all the colors of the rainbow through the spectrum. The
narrator explains at the beginning of the poem that he doesn't want to classify himself as a
redshirt or a yellow shirt. He has a little bit of both, but also a lot more. He extends his tropes
with colors that are related in two aspects, declaring himself an entire color spectrum. It's
more than the space in between. He's in every room. He is right to be that person, he says. He
is an individual and can be whatever he wants. In "Yellow and Red," Buranasyn tackles big
topics not only about individuality, but also about self-awareness and conflict. Speakers have
a pretty good understanding of the conflict going on around them. He sees both sides and
refuses when asked to choose between them. He does not believe that someone should fit
their life into a single color and a single defined set of beliefs and actions. The speaker feels
that he is more than that. His personality comes through clearly and distinctly when he
declares himself in a spectrum of colors without a single resting point. Preeyatik Buranasin's
"Yellow or Red" is his 18-line poem contained in one of his stanzas of the text. The lines
follow his AABBCC simple rhyming scheme, with the final ending changing from line to line.
There are some moments when a rhyme resembles a half rhyme more than a full rhyme.
Readers will also quickly notice that all lines are very similar in length, as most lines consist of
10 syllables. The theme of this poem is yellow and red is the color of both sides in Thailand's
current political divide. There can be pressure from one side or the other so that everyone
can decide which side to take. It may be assumed that everyone should do this. First, of
course, in this poem he mentions two colors, yellow and red, which are its title. We know
that these two colors have meanings, references, etc. With red, prioritize colors of passion
and drama. This color attracts the most attention and is associated with strong emotions such
as love and anger. Red is a color commonly used to indicate danger, courage, strength and
power. Red is exciting, lively and evocative. Red awakens desire with its strong connection to
sexuality. And yellow is the color of optimism. Yellow is an attractive color that conveys
youthful and fresh energy. Uplifting and bright, this sun color is associated with success and
confidence. Yellow stimulates the left side of the brain and aids in clear thinking and quick
decision making. The poem Yellow or Red was written by Thai poet Preeyatik Buranasin. He
was asked if it was yellow or red. He reacted like a little bit of both colors, but more. This
represents a conflict between two parties. One is yellow and the other is red. The poem uses
his two colors chosen by Page to create a metaphor in which Buranisin compares himself to
the spectrum of colors. Neither yellow nor red. He is the spectrum of all the colors of the
rainbow. At the beginning of the poem, he explains that he doesn't want to be classified as
red or yellow. It has elements of both, but not only this. He extends his metaphor to describe
himself by using the colors referenced on both sides to cover the entire color spectrum. It's
more than a gap. He is everywhere He says he's right to be that person. He is an individual
and can do it. He doesn't want to be identified as red or yellow at the beginning of the poem.
Both are mixed, but not the same, there is only one. Extending the metaphor, he describes
himself using a wide range of human colors, based on the colors used on both sides. It's not
just that there's a gap in the middle. He is wherever he claims he has the right to be.
Finally, "Yellow or Red" is based on the conflict between Thailand's People's Alliance
for Democracy (PAD) and the People's Power Party (PPP), which was said to be the last crisis
in 2005-2006. Based on my findings. "Yellow or Red," the speaker begins by referring to
something that happened outside the poem. Someone, the intended listener of the poem,
asked him "yellow or red" This refers to the political conflict in Thailand and his two sides are
protesting with one wearing a yellow shirt and the other wearing a red shirt. Speakers
immediately refuse to be classified under any of these labels. He doesn't think it's right for
someone to limit their "whole existence" to a certain shade.
