Your voice is just for native speakers.

It's a bit odd that the spirit is usually portrayed as looking like a woman or girl in most adaptations, since the book said it looked like a man.

I wish you could have been my teacher. Your humorous drawings are the best- they honestly crack me up sometimes.

- [00:00-00:56] The poem "A Child to his Sick Grandfather" by Joanne Bailey depicts a child's concern for his ailing grandfather and their shared memories. - [01:22-02:19] The poem conveys a melancholic tone through language techniques like alliteration, highlighting the narrator's grief about the grandfather's condition. - [03:27-04:24] The metaphor of "when the fire turns blue" symbolizes the narrator's commitment to stay with his grandfather until the end. - [05:36-06:58] The fixed rhyme scheme in the poem suggests the inevitability of the grandfather's decline and death. - [07:12-08:06] Contextual factors, such as Bailey's Christian upbringing, influence the theme of reverence and respect for elders in the poem. - [08:19-09:40] The poem reflects Romantic poetry conventions by focusing on everyday characters and emotional experiences. - [10:23-11:48] Exam preparation involves analyzing language, structure, and context to craft insightful responses that address the thematic elements of the poem. - [13:00-14:10] Structuring exam responses with embedded quotes, high-level terminology, and relevant contextual links enhances their effectiveness.

This is so helping my revision!! thanks so much! here's some notes on the video aswell 00:12 Introduction: The video aims to provide a concise analysis of "Love's Dog" by Jen Hadfield, presenting a balanced perspective on love. It promises a quick overview of the poem's key elements to aid exam preparation. 01:36 Language Technique - Metaphor: The poem is rich in metaphors, utilizing medical terminology like "diagnosis" and "prognosis" to describe love. The metaphorical use of medical language suggests love as both a diagnosis (identifying symptoms of happiness) and a prognosis (predicting outcomes of pain). 02:47 Structural Feature - Cyclic Structure: The poem employs a cyclic structure, bookending with medical imagery ("diagnosis" and "prognosis") and concluding with "sick pet." This structure reinforces the idea that love is an inescapable cycle of pain, akin to a disease. 05:07 Language Technique - Anaphora: Hadfield uses anaphora, repeating "what I love about love is" and "what I hate about love is," to highlight the dual nature of love. This repetition underscores the poem's exploration of the joy and misery inherent in love. 07:18 Metaphor Analysis - "burnt toast and bone meal": Hadfield employs vivid metaphors like "bone meal" to depict love as destructive, capable of reducing individuals to dust. The use of "bone meal" as a fertilizer implies that love has the power to nourish growth but also to destroy. 08:53 Conclusion: The analysis highlights the poem's use of language features and structural elements to convey the dualities of love. Hadfield's portrayal challenges idealized notions of love found in traditional poetry, offering a more realistic depiction reflective of contemporary attitudes and societal trends.

Top geezer. This bloke needs way more subscribers than he has now

Ross is not the one that tells of the owl killing a falcon. The Old Man does.

i dont really understand how the william wordsworth context can be used if theres no evidence Wendy Cope was inspired by it, or is there

I am not a native speaker but working hard to get a grade 7 or above. Your videos just relieve my study stress and and GCSE is not looking hard now. Very calm voice. You explained perfectly and good thing about your teaching is that I still remember everything you say by the end of video. Great tip though to look for emotions.

thank you for this video, i also have a question. Do you mark papers that I can send to you? Because I would really want someone to check a paper Ive done.

You have taught really easily and calmly. This video I believe is best on youtube. Others just add to more tension.

just got lennox in macbeth, not too great for my ego to be told its a minor, c list part 😂😂

Perfect ty

Completed mocks last December, got 1 mark of a 9 in both papers- have to hand the credit to you- these videos really carried!

:) Now to explain that to my ESL students here in France. Hopefully to then read some cracking film reviews, a change from the usual yawn :) I hope you included a few scenes from the film :) Brill

thanks i found this video very useful

really could consider result of a few down downs.

Neon, here, would be an adjective.

Hi. I'm doing IGCSE English First Language. Does all this apply to IGCSE as well?

Just FYI - a clause, even a subordinate one, must contain a verb (and usually a subject as well), so 'quite suddenly', 'luckily', and 'very noisily' are not subordinate clauses; they are adverbials or adverbial phrases.
