women the world would not function. In the poem “Africa”‚ the speaker personifies the country as a woman who has gone through tribulations of getting her country stripped by white men enslaving her sons and daughters. Through it all she regains her strength. What she went through helped her to become a stronger woman‚ and stronger country.

www.engishbiz.co.uk 2003 Steve Campsall How to Read a Poem Poems can sometimes be difficult to get to grips with. But remember that the poet has tried hard to say much using few words. Part of the enjoyment of a poem is the work needed to engage with it and find out what the poet is saying.

or more of the poems you have read? The poems‚ ‘A frosty night’ by Robert Graves and ‘Catrin’ by Gillian Clarke both show how the poets are finding it difficult to give their children the freedom to be individuals.

In ‘Catrin’ we see the poets feelings change throughout the poem on how much freedom

Florida V/S Indiana I was raised in Indiana and have lived here my entire life. While on vacation in Florida one year‚ my husband introduced the idea of us relocating to Florida to live permanently.
