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.

The poem is about a woman who was forced to leave her home country as a child for political reasons. She fondly remembers her homeland and native city in bright, positive terms. While her homeland may now be experiencing war and tyranny, her memories remain fixed as a "bright, filled paperweight". In her new country, she is accused of being "dark" and faces threats for speaking her native language and connecting to her culture. Despite this, her city and memories of it continue to be associated with "sunlight".Poppies by Jane Weir

This poem explores how a woman's hometown and past experiences have shaped her identity and left a lasting imprint. The woman's skin is described as a "map" covered with reminders of her life in the form of a birthmark and tattoo. No matter how much she tries to cover or change her skin, she cannot escape where she came from and the memories embedded there. In the end, she sheds her skin completely, realizing her true home is not defined by geography but where she feels most like herself.IBLit-Paper1-BetterDaysbyA.F.Moritz

In the poem "Better Days" by A.F. Moritz, the narrator reflects nostalgically on his carefree youth and later struggles with adulthood through three distinct phases of his life - adolescence, early manhood, and old age. In his youth, he celebrates indulgent nights and rebellion. He later faces difficulties in his early adulthood characterized by poverty and struggle. In his old age, he finds tranquility but also regret for not appreciating his youth and for never speaking to a studious old man he admired. The poem uses vivid imagery and shifts in tone to contrast the euphoria of youth with the hardships of adulthood and wisdom of old age.Poetry revision

The poem describes a narrator riding through the countryside on a still afternoon and observing leaves silently falling from the trees like snowflakes. This simple natural scene makes her think of the thousands of young soldiers dying in their prime in the trenches of World War I. She draws an allegorical comparison between the falling leaves and the fallen soldiers, who were "slain by no wind of age or pestilence" but instead laid "strewed" across the Flemish clay like snowflakes vanishing without reason or purpose. The poem reflects on the devastating human cost of the war through this image of leaves dropping quietly from the trees.Victorian Poet Christina rossetti's Poetic Characteristics

The poem 'Poppies' by Jane Weir is about a mother watching her son grow up and ultimately having to send him off to war, where he dies. Written from the mother's perspective, the poem uses subtle imagery and metaphor to allude to violence and death, foreshadowing the son's fate. Symbols like 'spasms of paper red' and references to bandages and blockades portray domestic life but imply injury and warfare. As the poem progresses, natural symbols like a dove flying from a pear tree communicate when key events, like the son's death, have occurred. Weir aimed to express emotion through textures and the language/form of thread and fabric, building layers of metaphor that represent how grief takesThe Ruined Maid

The poem explores the theme of nostalgia experienced by mercenary soldiers away from their mountain homes. In vivid detail, the first two stanzas describe the soldiers' physical and emotional suffering as they long for the high altitudes, familiar tastes, smells, and sounds of their homeland. Leaving came with "a sweet pain in the heart" and hurt to hear the "music of home" summoning them back. The final stanza depicts the changed reality upon one soldier's return, finding the same streets but everything different, reflecting how nostalgia transforms perceptions of place and past. Overall, the poem elicits sympathy for how wartime service forces soldiers to grapple with displacement and loss of innocence about home.'Use of symbols in to the lighthouse converted-converted

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.

- 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. An extract from The Prelude describes a formative experience Wordsworth had as a boy on a lake at night.

The poem "Storm on the Island" by Seamus Heaney describes a man alone in a house during a storm, expressing the emotions he feels. This poem has many metaphorical meanings that are analyzed. Seamus Heaney was born in Ireland in 1939 and grew up on a farm, writing many poems about the countryside. He spent his career teaching poetry at universities and died in 2013. The language in the poem conveys the man's loneliness and isolation during the storm, with the trees and house representing company and emotions. There are also uses of sibilance to represent the sounds of the wind and buildup of tension, as well as juxtaposition to confuse the reader into deeper thought.Tissue - Imtiaz Dharker

The document analyzes and summarizes the poem "Tissue" by Dharker. It discusses how Dharker uses an extended metaphor comparing life to tissue. Throughout the poem, tissue is portrayed positively as something that is "well-used" and can "trace a grand design", while buildings and money are portrayed negatively. The structure of the poem is not completely regular, with varying line lengths and no rhyme scheme, except for the final stanza which is singled out to emphasize the message. Enjambment is used to show how problems described in the poem continue over multiple lines, making the issues easier to address.Bayonet Charge - Ted Hughes
Bayonet Charge - Ted Hughesmissvfarrimond
Ìý
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.Exposure - Wilfred Owen
Exposure - Wilfred Owenmissvfarrimond
Ìý
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
The Prelude - William Wordsworthmissvfarrimond
Ìý
- 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
Remains - Simon Armitagemissvfarrimond
Ìý
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
Remains - Simon Armitagemissvfarrimond
Ìý
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
Ìý
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.Exposure - Wilfred Owen
Exposure - Wilfred Owenmissvfarrimond
Ìý
Wilfred Owen was a soldier in World War 1 who experienced the horrors of trench warfare firsthand. In his poem "Exposure", Owen conveys the grim conditions that soldiers faced in the trenches, where they endured damp, muddy environments and saw many of their fellow soldiers die. The line "but nothing happens" suggests that despite constant death, the soldiers had become numb and no longer felt emotions from their losses. Owen uses imagery like "black snow" to represent the darkness and lack of hope that pervaded the trenches.London - William Blake
London - William Blakemissvfarrimond
Ìý
Blake's poem "London" criticizes the suffering of the working class caused by the industrial revolution through its rhyme scheme and metaphorical language. The poem draws attention to the cries of pain from the many people in desperation through the repetition of their suffering. Blake grieves the loss of the old London, seeing the changes from the industrial revolution as replacing happiness with an inevitable death for dreams.Recently uploaded (20)

This presentation delves into the systemic blind spots within pharmaceutical science and regulatory systems, emphasizing the significance of "inactive ingredients" and their influence on therapeutic equivalence. These blind spots, indicative of normalized systemic failures, go beyond mere chance occurrences and are ingrained deeply enough to compromise decision-making processes and erode trust.
Historical instances like the 1938 FD&C Act and the Generic Drug Scandals underscore how crisis-triggered reforms often fail to address the fundamental issues, perpetuating inefficiencies and hazards.
The narrative advocates a shift from reactive crisis management to proactive, adaptable systems prioritizing continuous enhancement. Key hurdles involve challenging outdated assumptions regarding bioavailability, inadequately funded research ventures, and the impact of vague language in regulatory frameworks.
The rise of large language models (LLMs) presents promising solutions, albeit with accompanying risks necessitating thorough validation and seamless integration.
Tackling these blind spots demands a holistic approach, embracing adaptive learning and a steadfast commitment to self-improvement. By nurturing curiosity, refining regulatory terminology, and judiciously harnessing new technologies, the pharmaceutical sector can progress towards better public health service delivery and ensure the safety, efficacy, and real-world impact of drug products.

The Emigree - Carol Rumens
- 1. A L I C E R Y S I E C K I The Emigrée - Carol Rumens
- 2. Brief Context  Rumens was born in south London in 1944  She has a fascination with ‘elsewhere’  Emigrée in the female form of emigrant  An emigrant is a person who leaves their birth country to live elsewhere  In the poem, the land and the city is ‘elsewhere’  The poem was wrote in 1994
- 3. Stanza 1 Key Sense Repetition Metaphor No named city/ country- could represent the young age/ lack of knowledge of speaker? The city might not even exist Metaphors could represent the lost childhood of the narrator that they can’t return to Shows it’s been stuck in her memory permanently There once was a country… I left it as a child but my memory of it is sunlight-clear for it seems I never saw it in that November which, I am told, comes to the mildest city. The worst news I receive of it cannot break my original view, the bright, filled paperweight. It may be at war, it may be sick with tyrants, but I am branded by an impression of sunlight.
- 4. Stanza 2 Key Sense Simile Repetition Metaphor The waves represent nature- you can’t stop it and you have to accept that it’s going to happen. This can link to the idea of war The movement of waves (up and down transverse shape) could represent the positive and negative effects in life. Rebellion against the government/state? Might not be appropriate language for adults?-Lies, make believe, needs to grow up and move on The white streets of that city, the graceful slopes glow even clearer as time rolls its tanks and the frontiers rise between us, close like waves. That child’s vocabulary I carried here like a hollow doll, opens and spills a grammar. Soon I shall have every coloured molecule of it. It may by now be a lie, banned by the state but I can’t get it off my tongue. It tastes of sunlight. Sensory description represents childhood memories from narrator
- 5. Stanza 3 Key Sense Personification Simile Repetition Doll or human? The city could represent a pet. The speaker could imagine it being more realistic and loyal to her. She is protecting the city to try and keep it as how she remembers it. Shadows contrast sunlight. Could represent the different views of the city or the exposure of the reality of the city. I have no passport, there’s no way back at all but my city comes to me in its own white plane. It lies down in front of me, docile as paper; I comb its hair and love its shining eyes. My city takes me dancing through the city of walls. They accuse me of absence, they circle me. They accuse me of being dark in their free city. My city hides behind me. They mutter death, and my shadow falls as evidence of sunlight. Can’t travel back in time. Maybe there has been no travelling at all?- metaphorical journey
- 6. Structure Form  3 stanzas  First 2 stanzas are 8 lines, end one is 9 lines – shows speaker can’t forget the place  No rhyme but rhythmic pattern – reflects the speakers mind that’s positive but can change and become complex  First person account of poem  Not naming the place make the poem focus on the characters feelings from a child to an adult  Lack of place detail shows it might be fictional and just might be in the characters memory as a child
