Seamus Heaney also creates a vivid impression of learning about the tadpoles at school by using many images such as, 'jellied specks'. This shows how small the tadpoles are and by using the word 'jellied' it makes you image the tadpoles like a jelly texture (smooth and quite soft) which is what a tadpole is like.
He also uses the feeling of warmth to describe the tadpoles showing that they are nice to touch and feel.
The word 'burst' also describes something very beautiful when the tadpoles leave their eggs. This word makes me think of a firework bursting out when it is rocketed up to the sky; this is a very beautiful thing.
