Relationships are presented as unpredictable and can often be dangerous. To what extent and in what ways do you agree with this statement with reference to Four Movements in a Scale of Two? Many of Owen Sheers’ poems in ‘Skirrid Hill’ explores the nature of love and relationships using imagery to symbolize a less than idealized version of love. Impulsive actions are made as two naïve people enter a relationship oblivious to consequences and Sheers uses this to map out an unpredictable course of

Introduction The ‘Arab’ spring of 2011 is a wave of revolutions taking place in the Arab world. It has its own and unique characteristics.
