Year 7 Next Year Analysis
Out of the many poems that we have and have not learnt in English, the two that I would choose for year 7 next year, are, ‘The Lesson’ By Roger McGough and ‘The Man From Snowy River’ by Banjo Patterson. Both poems are enjoyable to read and great for year sevens next year. Each poem also has advanced techniques used to display numerous meanings of the poems.
The first poem that I would recommend to the year sevens next year is “The Lesson”. This poem has lots of humour in it and brutality, which I would think many year sevens, would love. “The lesson” is about a class that is quite crazy and really annoys their teacher. The teacher then one day comes into class and starts brutally killing the children. This poem is probably aimed at young children

    Two Poems Good for Studying in Year 7

    Two poems that would definitely be great choices for year sevens to study in year 7 would have to be The Lesson by Roger McGough and Half Caste by John Agard. The Lesson would be great to study because it contains quite a deal of black humor and also contains subject matter that would appeal to year sevens. John Agard Half Caste would also be great to study because of the phonetic style in the way it’s written and furthermore it would be good to study because of the way it interests year sevens to find out what it actually means.…

    Shel Silverstein

    Another point to the evaluation is for the sound and wordplay. I thought that the poem Jumping Rope displayed just that. In a lot of poems that author will rhyme every other word. But in this one, every word rhymed with rope. Rope, dope, rope, hope and rope was the pattern throughout the poem. The balance of repetition gave the poem that catchy rhythm that kids remember even when they are older.…

    My Forbidden Face

    My hardest part of this class, Minnie, was the poetry. I dreaded this portion because of my unfamiliarity of the different types of poems. We read several and some I understood and others I am still pondering. The one that I enjoyed the most was “Homage of My Hips,” by Lucille Clifton. As you can see I have the hips to associate with this poem. The lady described in this poem was a large woman with big hips. She makes her voice know by the words she speaks. After reading this you feel that the woman has been ridiculed for being large in the past. This ridicule is the motivation the lady needs to tell the world,…

    If you are still yet to be convinced, then I ask you, if this does not gain a level seven, what will the other teachers think of your educating? By giving this writing level seven, you will not only be gaining the love and appreciation and of one of your students, but also the admiration and respect of your fellow English teachers, who will find your ability to bring out the best writers amazing.

    District 9 Analysis

    The image on the left is of a South African police officer beating a black man during the Apartheid era. The image to the right is of Koobus Venter pushing a prawn to its knees In District 9. Both these images correlate each other as they both show the theme of police brutality during the Era. District 9 is based off of the facts of the Apartheid Era. And during the Apartheid era Black people were beaten for no reason, and the police has the mentality of ‘shoot first, ask questions later’. This helps put the District 9 Image into context as in the film one sees Koobus Venter being told to shoot first and ask questions later, and in this particular scene above, one also sees how Koobus Venter is threatening, beating and eventually killing the…

    Changes Over the Year

    Looking through old letters, pictures, and conversations from previous months and years, hits me with a shock of reality and how nothing is, or will ever be the same. Focusing on this realization not necessarily makes me happy, but neither does it make me sad. “Things always change and happen for a reason.” So I’ve heard. But what exactly is that reason? Is it something we as individuals must search for ourselves? Overall, it really does astonish me how much can change within a short period of time.…

    Roger Mcgough Poem Analysi

    The three poems I have chosen are mainly written in the area of inequality of this world and the unfairness of social class. In “The Commission” Roger McGough has written the contrast of the different social class and the difference between the wealthy and the poor. In the poem he wrote “In this poem there is a table. Groaning with food. There is also a child, Groaning for lack of food” this clearly stated out the different between the wealthy and the poor. In “Nooligan” he criticises the use of violence and bullying in school, he used the following lines “I’m a Nooligan don’t give a toss, in our class I’m the boss” to tell to the audience that everyone is born equal, no one should be hurt or to be treated differently to others. In the poem “Streemin” Roger McGough again criticises the inequality between the different social classes by using “But all these divishns aren’t reely fair”.…

    Patrick Kavanagh’s Poetry

    Patrick Kavanagh’s poetry is fascinating, universal and enthralling. I think the imagery is powerful and cinematic also. In my opinion there are four poems written by Kavangh which would be essential in a short anthology of his work. They are ‘Inishkeen Road: July Evening’, ‘On Raglan Road’, ‘Advent’ and ‘The Hospital’. These poems show Kavanagh’s development throughout his life and his amazing power of manipulation over the English language. In these four poems Kavanagh deals with themes such as isolation, artistic frustration, anger, vulnerability, transformation, spirituality, love, disappointment and rebirth, Kavanagh also demonstrates a great understanding of words and imagery in these poems which are vivid and memorable.…

A poet spends a lot of time choosing exactly the best words for her/his poem. You may not understand them all or be able to see why they were chosen. That doesnt mean you cannot understand the idea that the poet is trying to share. And some poems you may be asked to read are written by and for people who have a lot more experience of life than you do at the moment. You can enjoy and understand parts of a poem without fully grasping it all. Always read a poem lots of times. And try to read it aloud. The first poetry was meant to be spoken aloud or read aloud, just like childrens poems and stories. And read to the punctuation. Often an idea is not contained in each separate line. Decide what you think the poem is generally about. There may be a simple surface meaning and a deeper one too. Do this before you begin to look at the way the poet has chosen words and images, has used figures of speech and layout, to deliver that meaning. Sometimes the title can hint at the theme of a poem. Look at the poem in…
