Lockdown: Simon Armitage writes poem about coronavirus outbreak theguardian.com/books/2020/mar…
If you ever need proof of how deeply A Christmas Carol has permeated our culture, or just a laugh, a fictionalised version of Kevin Keegan (one who has conquered space in the name of football) is tweeting an adaptation of it...
As December went on, a malaise took hold. Even football now left me cold. I realised I had fallen out of love with the game. My robot coach, Barrington12, tried to lift me by buying me a book of great Newcastle strikers. I angrily tossed it aside. “Demba Ba! Humbug!” I growled.
Well done to our lovely Year 11 cohort who completed GCSE English today! We are all so proud of you and your positivity the whole way through this cycle. Imagine the joy of reading a book for fun, rather than to construct a PEA chain! Good luck with the rest of your exams!
The brilliant @brian_bilston has written a poem all about the Unseen poetry section. Good luck tomorrow and don’t worry about Susan Jenkins!
1 day until Lit Paper 2 and 1 topical poem coming up...
2. For the comparison, read the second title and poem twice - carefully. Consider which quotes or structural features stand out as being similar/different to the first poem. Write a comparative PEA chain discussing the similarities/differences between the two.
1. For the analysis, read the question carefully and highlight the focus. Read the title and poem twice - carefully. Highlight key quotes and consider structural features that link to the focus. What is the poet trying to communicate about the focus and how does it effect you?
2 days until Lit Paper 2. 2 tips for the 2 unseen poem questions coming up...that’s a lot of 2s!
3. The Hillsborough disaster occurred not long after the play was written but is a tragic illustration of working class animosity and distrust towards the police who were designated to protect them. The police scenes portray them as unjust, corrupt and inept.
The Toxteth riots of 1981 saw battles between disaffected youths and police in the streets. This atmosphere of aggression and criminal behaviour as a reaction to young people feeling they had no legitimate voice pervades the play and mirrors Mickey’s descent to tragedy.
3 days until Lit Paper 2, so 3 contextual factors worth discussing regarding Blood Brothers...
4. In Before You Were Mine, the four consistent stanzas make the poem resemble a photo album. Many of the images in the poem align with this structural feature to create a nostalgic feel of flicking through the memory-filled pages.
3. In Walking Away, Lewis uses syntactic parallelism in the lines ‘like a satellite wrenched from its orbit’ and ‘like a winged seed loosened from its parent stem’ to demonstrate the persona’s shifting perspective on the separation. What once was disastrous is now natural.
4 days until Lit Paper 2. Four structural features coming up...
6. “Black earth spread white with rime” - The Farmer’s Bride. This bleak image is a metaphor for the relationship. The soil has frosted over and the black and white contrast each other just like the couple. When earth is frosted it also becomes infertile and nothing can grow
5. “Waterlogged earth gulping for breath” - Winter Swans. Beautiful bit of personification here as the couple feel like they are suffocating under the strain of their argument. Making progress and moving on is like wading through flooded land - slow and laborious
6 days until Lit Paper 2 so 6 important quotations from Blood Brothers and the Love and Relationships poems.
