In the poem she is demanding his presence and his love this is a use of an effect as well as the dashes and the pauses there are a lot of commas so in general there is a lot of punctuation and enjambment

When there is a pause or break in the middle of a line from the Latin word meaning cut. Often found alongside enjambment this is called caesura passionate and intended tone the vines don’t grow in a certain way this gives me an idea that she is not thinking clearly she calls him a palm tree I associate tall people and relaxed it’s just exotic also it is really religious
The speaker is very observant because of the way she describes the tree you have to of observed this also she is very detailed
At the end of the poem she says I do. Not hunk of thee I am to near thee this means she dose not need to think of him anymore because she is with him.

The poems form is a dramatic monologue which comes in the form as a long stanza.

The narrator is love sick and cicotioc he’s in love so badly it comes to the point where he has to kill her also portphya means diese and when you have it you die

Porphyria arrives at the cottage
Porphyria says she loves him
He killed her
He pretends she’s still alive

An Elgi is a poem of serious reflection typically a lament for the dead

This poem has 6 stanzas it is interesting because it is one line and in this one line it gives us a lot of information and it is a completely different way to end a poem as I have not seen this before and it tells us that the poem is reflected in one line and it takes away all the attention

The poet uses loads of detail because it gives effect also it shows us how much he cares and his feelings as I get an understanding of how he feel in that present moment

I think he did as he would not put so much effort and detail when he speaks about them if he did not

In my opinion he is referring to Greek mythology when he speaks about the river and he might be speaking about it as if they are in the other side in the underworld

I believe that the simile in stanza 4 is “the sky whitens as if lit by three suns” this is the simile as he uses the word or which is used in an simile

Carol Ann Duffy explores ideas about the relationship in before you where mine by making the daughter speak about how much she loves her mother and admirers her mother but in past tense the going to present tense we know this because in the first stanza the daughter talks about when her mum was on their corner that she used to laugh on and at the start it says ten years ago this shows us that she ios talking in past tense and she is not even born yet

She then goes into more definition about how she is taking as if she is. It alive also the grandma is waiting for the mum to come

We know she idols her mum because she says ”your polka dot dress blows round your legs Marlyn this is her comparing her mum to Marlyn monroe and as we know Marlyn monroe is was a Huge women figure and for her to compare her to Marlyn is a big thing and shows what type of relationship they have.they then start to talk about the mums fashion and how she was a baby and would play in her mums shoes.some of the      themes explored in the poem is motherhood love relationships and imagination

the poem is in chronologicol order as it is at the start when she isnot yet born the poem is moving through time also this poem is regular and has no rhyme sceme

the tone is admiring I say this because in the poem the daughter says “I’m ten years away from the corner you laugh on” also this tells me that the daughter is admiring her mother

To Kill a Mockingbird is primarily a novel about growing up under extraordinary circumstances in the 1930s in the Southern United States. The story covers a span of three years, during which the main characters undergo significant changes. Scout Finch lives with her brother Jem and their father Atticus in the fictitious town of Maycomb, Alabama. Maycomb is a small, close-knit town, and every family has its social station depending on where they live, who their parents are, and how long their ancestors have lived in Maycomb.

The book consits of the theme of racism as at the start we are introduced to the charcter jem and scout who are the children of atticus finich who is a well known laywer in the state of alabama and maycombe Mand state legislative  is assigned to represent Tom Robinson. A widower.

scout is the Narrator of the story. The story takes place from the time Scout is aged 6 to 9, but she tells the story as an adult. Scout is a tomboy who would rather solve problems with her fists than with her head. Throughout the course of the book, Scout comes to a new understanding of human nature, societal expectations, and her own place in the world.Scout is a tomboy who prefers the company of boys and generally solves her differences with her fists. She tries to make sense of a world that demands that she act like a lady, a brother who criticizes her for acting like a girl, and a father who accepts her just as she is. Scout hates school, gaining her most valuable education on her own street and from her father.

jem is Scout’s older brother who ages from 10 to 13 during the story. He is Scout’s protector and one of her best friends. As part of reaching young adulthood, Jem deals with many difficult issues throughout the story. but there is not much action for him in the book as his role is undermined by scout

in the book A widower, Atticus raises his children by himself, with the help of kindly neighbors and a black housekeeper named Calpurnia. Scout and Jem almost instinctively understand the complexities and machinations of their neighborhood and town. The only neighbor who puzzles them is the mysterious Arthur Radley, nicknamed Boo, who never comes outside. When Dill, another neighbor’s nephew, starts spending summers in Maycomb, the three children begin an obsessive and sometimes perilous  quest to lure Boo outside.

During the novel’s last summer, Tom is tried and convicted even though Atticus proves that Tom could not have possibly committed the crime of which he is accused. In the process of presenting Tom’s case, Atticus inadvertently insults and offends Bob Ewell, a nasty, lazy drunkard whose daughter is Tom’s accuser. In spite of Tom’s conviction, Ewell vows revenge on Atticus and the judge for besmirching his already tarnished name. All three children are bewildered by the jury’s decision to convict; Atticus tries to explain why the jury’s decision was in many ways a foregone conclusion.Shortly after the trial, Scout attends one of her aunt’s Missionary Society meetings. Atticus interrupts the meeting to report that Tom Robinson had been killed in an escape attempt. Scout learns valuable lessons about achieving the ideal of womanhood and carrying on in the face of adversity that day.

There is two and a half hours i am never getting back

the avengers 2 age of ultron

Where do i start such a dissapointiong film, which i had high expectations for a main problem with this film was how it was portrayed it had no resemblance to the comic which was very upsetting.for most of the film it felt like they were carrying on the same story line form the last film nothing really stood out in the film or make me stop and think wow this is amazing. To be honest it was really doll and boring i would not be shocked to find out that if just like me a lot of people and fans were not happy with this film.

In my opinion I feel that the director should be ashamed to be apart of this film as it is such an embarrassment to the marvel name. For a film with such a high budget you would feel that the film would be a real blockbuster, but as said by many money cant buy you everything and in this case everything is entertainment as this film was not that in fact it was so far of it you would think it was a film that comes on syfy wich useally the worst of the worst films come on,  i have decided to compare this film to a cheap low standard and poorly acted film which should not of even been put in the cinema.

isis is a very controversial islamic extreamiest group they are well known in the world but not for the right reason. They are known for the way they get their point across and  what they have done to do this and what they would do if it was viewed in a wrong way for example public exucutions and videoing beheadings and then posting itethier online or making sure it reaches news coverage, by them doing this it caused the locals of the cites that isis had power of to become scared and frightned some would be afried to even come out of their house as the moment they step outside their house their lives would be at risk. Most of the time isis would use the fear of the people and all teir anger and take it out on the public , locals and the world

Isis works in a certain way a way such as how a country would work as many countries it has a primister and a cabinet and local leaders which keep the cites which they run in check. By it being run like this its secerutiy is highly advanced and efficient, Also millions of dollars in oil revenue this has made isis one of the wealthiest terror groups in history, experts estimate the value output from the dozen of oil fields and refines under its control in Iraq and syria at 1 million to 2 million dollars a day.

POVERTY

In my opinion i believe that poverty is something that needs to be conquers as it causes a lot of dis functions in a country, such as bringing a bad reputation, i say this because when you go to a country for the first time you look  at a lot of things and poverty is one of them and it could dertermine if you would like to go back to that place and if every one decided to think like that and they saw how poor people were just around they wouuld not want to come back.

another problem about poverty is that has a huge effect on people for example when you are on your way to work, school or eeven just walking around you would not like to be in a postion when you have to see some one in such a state that it makes you feel ill or it can really just put your day of as when you are in a happy mood it is like there depression or sadness goes onto you because you have things that they dont.

the last problem that could occur with poverty is that it brings a bad impression to the country for many reasons such as it causing peiple to see the place differntly. Also it can make it look like the goverment is not doing anything for them,when they are gut they are just to lazy to go and accept that help.
