Showing the poems effect on the people of Liverpool, and reflecting on what knowledge they have shared. Since families, survivors and supporters, the Campaign has continued to bring Hillsborough and justice back into the public domain on many occasions. Banners were raised to assemble the people to announce that something significant was about to happen.

    Glasgow 5th March 1941

    “Glasgow 5th of March 1971” by Edwin Morgan is an instamatic poem which describes an incident on a Glasgow street when a young couple are pushed backwards through a shop window by two youths who are intent on robbing the shop. The poem goes on to describe the attitude or the youths and people who are watching the crime. The poet has not made an appearance in the poem as he shows no emotion, but he makes the reader feel, through his description of the photos that are captured by his use of metaphors, onomatopoeia and repetition, that they are witnessing the crime. The first stanza has a theme of loss, which is slowly released throughout the poem as the poet begins to describe the foreground and introduces the reader to the incident:…

    Boston Massacre Response

    After reading and analyzing, “The Boston Massacre Trails” I feel like the movie left out some parts of the trial that I found interesting in the article. For example, John Adam’s assistant in the trial, Josiah Quincy, happened to be the younger brother of the trial’s prosecutor Samuel Quincy. Another interesting fact was that Samuel Quincy was a loyalist. However, he was prosecuting against the British soldiers. Overall, I do think that the movie did a great job depicting the Boston Massacre Trials. However, I also believe that the article as more detailed and had more interesting facts.…

    Kenneth Slessor Speech

    Kenneth Slessor, a renowned poet and journalist was born on the 27th of March 1901 in Orange, New South Wales. Throughout his eventful life, Slessor was able to compose an array of poems through which he was able to convey his experiences through life. But why exactly are his poems still considered so relevant and significant in this era? Firstly, Slessor’s poems were widely recognised for their ability to accurately depict his understanding of humanity, life, death and change. Across his oeuvre he conveys a unique yet consistent view of the meaning of life and death. He presents this through the use of poetic techniques such as metaphors, repetition, similes and alliteration which are evident through all of his poems. Good morning/afternoon Mr Younes and Yr. 12.…

    "He hit him eighteen times in a row, an act which took perhaps three or four seconds...Over the referee's face came a look of woe as if some spasm had passed its way through him." The writer also uses imagery to produce the sympathetic effect. The way the writer paints a picture of thw punches and the look on tje ref's face show that the punches were very painful, and it was not an easy thing to watch. The writer's use of imagery also produces a sympathetic effect.…

    Out of the Blue and Poppies,both demonstrate the catastrophic effects which conflict can have upon ordinary people. Within Out of Blue, Simon Armitage portrays the feelings of utter helplessness of the public when viewing the twin towers by 'you have picked me out' the use of personal pronouns is very direct, provoking a strong emotional response from the readerWhat about the effect of conflict on the narrator ( the falling man) . Alternatively, the poem, Poppies provokes an emotional response by the excessive use of first person language and the strong juxtaposing, semantic fields of the domestic and war; this demonstrates how war invades every aspect of a grieving mother home 'spasms of paper red'.

    Explore How Conflict Effects Those Not Fighting in the Conflict Poems

    The emotion of the poet is clearly described in both poems. “I resisted the impulse” and “I was brave, as I walked with you”. Both quotes from Poppies show that although the poet felt upset that her son was going to war, and that she felt he was too young, she allowed her son to do as he wanted. This shows realisation that he had grown up, that it wasn’t her decision to allow him to go and that she didn’t want to upset him by showing how she really felt. In The Falling Leaves, the poet describes her emotion through the weather. “like snowflakes wiping out the noon;” this shows that she was feeling saddened and upset from what she had seen.…

    Change Essay

    The poem “bradman’s last inning” written by John Foulcher shows many readers that we are often prone to failure and disappointment. John Foulcher shows this through the use of second person in the first line “you could have asked for better...” which is addressed directly at Bradman and suggests the affinity many people had for him. Also in the same sentence John uses an ellipses at the end of “better...” The use of the ellipses is expressing the sympathy for Bradman on his disappointment for being bowled out. Additionally John uses a list in the third stanza giving a sense of order as opposed to the chaos and confusion during the depression. Furthermore John uses personification in the last line “betrayed by your own game” suggesting the emotional involvement of Bradman, positioning him as more than just a winner but a ‘hero’ excluding the fact he was bowled for duck. John’s uses of these techniques clearly show the audience that we are all often prone to failure and…

    The Names By Billy Collins Poem Analysis

    Mr. Collins uses lots of literary device like imagery, metaphors, and extended metaphors (or allegory) to describe the brutalityof the day and effect thatwill last on this country forever. The poem recreates a deep meaning to anyone who was effected by the attacks on the United States, but also effects those who may not have been as involved in the terrible terrorist attacks. Mr. Collins uses the names of the victims of 9/11 and puts them in alphabetical order: each letter represents a different person who lost their life. The letters begin to symbolize the names and lives lost. Mr. Collins ends the poem with “So many names, there is barely room on the walls of the heart” (55). This reminds the readers that the number of people who died during this tragic day is vast. The saddest part is, all the victims of 9/11 weren’t even accounted for. Let us not forget the tragic lives that were lost in the dreadful day of mourning,…

    Response To Hurricane Katrina

    Hurricane Katrina was one of the most destructive storms to ever hit the United States and left behind much devastation to the south coast, particularly New Orleans, Louisiana. However, there were many ways that some of this physical and emotional damage could have been prevented, particularly by the government systems and engineers. When the Levees Broke, a movie directed by Spike Lee, clearly showed this and the interviews of those who lived through the storm were truly heart wrenching. However, there were some strengths that came out of this event, such as the close bond the communities developed and/or sustained, as well as the heroic efforts of some politicians and military officers.…

    Analysis Paper1

    Jaamal May jumps right into his poem describing how there are always stories in the news about shooting after shooting and how we hear these stories almost everyday about not only a single person getting shot, but also crowds of people like he says in one line “A young man/old man/teenage boy walks into, an office/theater/daycare/club and empties, a magazine into a crowd of strangers/family/students.” This line alone gives off a vibe that almost just makes your heart stop because its something that we are all too familiar with. Almost every year there is a national story about a shooting in a public place that kills many. I think by providing this type of imagery in the poem it really gives the reader an understanding of what he is talking about in the poem. In another lines from the poem May states, “What do you call it, when a shotgun tests a liquor store’s bulletproof glass?” and this is another familiar scenario we have all heard of that happens often that does not always get the same attention as a mass shooting, but is still sets an image that many people know of. These two lines can simply paint a picture in the reader’s mind.…
