The document provides background information on poet Dudley Randall and analyzes his poem "Ballad of Birmingham". Randall was inspired to write the poem by the 1963 Birmingham church bombing that killed four young black girls. The poem depicts a mother's concern for her daughter's safety as the child wishes to march for civil rights in Birmingham. Though the mother sends her daughter to church instead, thinking it safer, the daughter is killed when the church is bombed. The analysis examines literary devices like symbolism, imagery, tone and theme in the poem. It highlights the poem's exploration of a parent's inability to fully protect their child and the need to prepare children for an unjust society.

This document provides information on writing effective story leads. It discusses how leads act as a "potato" that readers and writers want to dig up. Leads help writers figure out where the story is growing and act as an organizational, motivational, and starting point. The document then reviews four types of leads: descriptive leads that create a picture, dialogue leads that start with character conversation, thinking leads that begin with a character's thought, and action leads that set up the story conflict. It emphasizes that great leads get readers asking questions to keep them engaged in the story. The document encourages practicing asking both surface and deeper questions about leads to help develop stories.Figures of speech : Basics

Poem - Ballard of Birmingham
- 1. Poem Ballard of Birmingham : Dudley Randall Prepared by, Soon Ming Hui Tan Siok Yong Phoebe Hon Liau Toh Tieh
- 2. Background of the Poet Born on 14 January 1914 in Washington Drew on civil rights movement, work experiences and travelled for inspiration The bombing of a Baptist church in Birmingham, resulting in the deaths of four young African American girls inspired him to write the poem.
- 3. Overview It illustrates a conflict between a child who wishes to march for civil rights and a mother who wishes only to protect her child. The child is eager to go into Birmingham and march for freedom with the people there. The mother, however wants to protect her child from the danger of protesting by sending her to church because she is fear for her child's safety.
- 4. The mother believed that the church was too sacred of a place for bad things to happen like a church bombing. But when she heard the explosion sound of a bomb going off, she knew that her believe about the church being safe was wrong. The death of the girl as portrayed in the poem possibly was killed because of the racist issue. Therefore, we have to always think about the unexpected.
- 6. Symbol Stanza 4 No, baby, no, you may not go, For I fear those guns will fire. War Violence
- 7. Olfactory Imagery Stanza 5 Bathed rose petal sweet
- 8. Visual Imagery Stanza 5 Drawn white gloves on her small brown hands
- 10. Tone and Mood First stanza innocence Example: The young child tries to act nice and innocent to her mother so that her mother lets her go to the march. Second stanza concern Example: Her mother tells her that there are fierce and wild dogs, clubs, hoses, guns and jails.
- 11. Fifth stanza and the first half of the sixth stanza pride and joy Example: Her mother is happy that she is going to the church instead of going to the march. Seventh stanza melancholic and grief Example: Her mother cries when she knows that the explosion occurs at the church.
- 12. THEME
- 13. The main theme of this poem is the parents cannot protect their son or daughter forever and ever.
- 14. Parents should give the chance to their children so that they can learn to protect themselves. This is because someday, they will have to face the society cruel by themselves.
- 15. Irony
- 16. Racism- the belief that inherent different traits in human racial groups justify discrimination.
