The poem "Remains" by Simon Armitage is written from the perspective of a soldier haunted by the memory of shooting an unarmed looter during a bank raid. The soldier does not know for certain if the looter was armed but opens fire along with two other soldiers based on their training. He is plagued by recurring dreams and flashbacks of the violent event. The soldier tries to drown out the memory with alcohol and drugs but is unable to forget what he has done. The poem explores themes of guilt, as the soldier questions whether deadly force was truly necessary, and sympathy for the looter who was killed in such a brutal way without cause being established. It also criticizes the military for training soldiers to shootRemains - Simon Armitage

The poem "Remains" by Simon Armitage is about a soldier dealing with guilt after shooting and killing a civilian. While his comrades seem unaffected, the soldier is deeply troubled, showing the experience is "not really" over for him. He turns to drinking and drugs to cope with the guilt, but they do not "flush him out" of his memories of "seeing every round rip through" the victim's life.

The poem is about a speaker who emigrated from their birth country as a child but maintains vivid childhood memories of it. The speaker remembers the country as filled with sunlight, despite receiving news that it may be experiencing war or tyranny. Over time, the speaker's childhood memories of the country have become ingrained, and they imagine interacting with their memories of it as if revisiting a loyal pet or comforting doll. Though the speaker cannot actually return to their birth country, their memories provide sunlight and comfort through metaphorical dancing and shadows that contrast with the present accusations of others.Storm on the Island - Seamus Heaney

Ted Hughes was a British poet born in 1930 who wrote "Bayonet Charge" about a nameless soldier's experience in a bayonet charge during World War I. A bayonet charge involved soldiers running 20-30 meters across no man's land under fire to capture the enemy trench in close combat. The poem uses personification and metaphors to vividly describe the chaos and destruction of war, contrasting the purity of nature with the ferocity of the weapons. It has a fast pace in the first and third paragraphs to convey the soldier's heavy breathing and panic, while the second paragraph is slower to depict his moment of clarity between the storms of action.Poppies - Jane Weir

1) The poem is about a mother grieving the loss of her son who went to war.
2) It describes her memories of him at different stages of his life in a non-chronological narrative structure that mirrors her grieving process.
3) The poem uses metaphors like felt and pleats to describe how the mother's pain and grief over her son's death is forming into a permanent loss.Exposure - Wilfred Owen

The poem describes the miserable conditions faced by soldiers in the trenches during World War I. It depicts the soldiers as cold, weary, and numb while being battered by the harsh winter weather. As the poem progresses, the soldiers lose their senses and memories as they drift into an empty, lifeless state. By the end, the soldiers have become frozen ghosts waiting to be buried by others who can barely recognize their faces, as nothing meaningful seems to happen or change in the trenches.The Prelude - William Wordsworth

- William Wordsworth was born in 1770 in Cumbria, England. Both of his parents died before he was 15, leaving him and his siblings in the care of relatives.
- As a young man, he studied at Cambridge University and became interested in the ideals of the French Revolution during a trip to France and Switzerland.
- His most famous work, The Prelude, published in 1850 after his death, is considered one of the greatest works of English romantic poetry. This extract describes a childhood experience Wordsworth had on a lake at night that profoundly impacted him.
- In the extract, a young Wordsworth recalls stealing a boat from under a willow tree and being terrified by the looming presenceRemains - Simon Armitage

The poem "Remains" by Simon Armitage is written from the perspective of a soldier haunted by the memory of shooting an unarmed looter during a violent past event. The soldier thinks back to shooting the looter every time he walks down the street or tries to sleep. Drinking and drugs do not help drown out the memory. The soldier feels guilt because he did not check if the looter was armed before opening fire along with two other soldiers. The soldier has recurring dreams of the shooting. The poem conveys sympathy for the looter and guilt felt by the soldier. It also criticizes the army for training soldiers to shoot without determining threats and to disregard the lives and dignity of criminals.Remains - Simon Armitage

The poem "Remains" by Simon Armitage is about a soldier dealing with guilt after shooting and killing a civilian. While his comrades seem unaffected, the soldier is deeply troubled by what happened and turns to drinking and drugs to try to cope with the guilt, but they provide no relief. The structured form of the poem emphasizes key points and moments, such as the single couplet at the end. The vivid and violent language, such as describing bullets "ripping through flesh," makes the reader feel uncomfortable yet draws them deeper into the soldier's troubling experience.My Last Duchess - Robert Browning
My Last Duchess - Robert Browningmissvfarrimond

The poem "My Last Duchess" by Robert Browning depicts an arrogant conversation between the Duke of Ferrara and an envoy. The Duke boasts about his late wife's supposed infidelity and unfaithfulness, though his controlling nature and paranoia suggest he may have been at fault for her death. The poem uses the Duke as an example of how arrogance and insecurity can undermine wealth and status. It draws parallels to "Ozymandias" in its portrayal of a once-mighty figure whose power is contradicted by reality.Recently uploaded (20)
