Poetry
|SECTION B |
| |
|Spend about 1 hour on this section. Think carefully about the poems before you write your answer. |
|In the first of the following poems, ‘The Railway Modeller’, the narrator (Pugh) describes a man (her husband) and his hobby. In the second, ‘The Railway |
|Clerk’, a man expresses his feelings about his life and work. |
|Write about both poems and their effect on you. Show how they are similar and how they are different. |
|You may write about each poem separately and then compare them, or make comparisons where appropriate in your answer as a whole. |
|You may wish to include some or all of these points: |
|• the content of the poems – what they are about; |
|• the ideas the poets may have wanted us to think about; |
|• the mood or atmosphere of the poems; |
|• how they are written – words and phrases you find interesting, the way they are organised, and so on; |
|• your responses to the poems.
