‘Africa’‚ simple and straightforward‚ the title speaks for itself. Maya Angelou planted the seed of idea even before we read the first line. The poem is about Africa rising above all the suffering and despair she has endured‚ leaving the past behind her in order to strive towards freedom and liberation. Anthropomorphizing Africa‚ a continent into a woman is an epitome of the personification of a land. In the first stanza‚ Africa is portrayed as a physically attractive black woman‚ denied of her

Travelling on an absolutely packed Virgin train with no leg room due to the fact that a rucksack and a bass guitar were shoved at my feet was not my idea of a fun way to spend nine o’clock on a Friday morning!

We had reached the national final and were somewhat astonished at how far we had gotten. After finally arriving at Doncaster train station (our route
