If the first 1st named poem was in paris with u and the second was to his coy mistress am i allowed to pick to his coy nistrsss to compare with the in paris w/ u question
Here's what I do and I used this to get an A*~ in the mocks: The opening paragraph I just give an intro about the form of both poems, so for example 'The ruined maid is written in anapestic trimeter' this enable you to get the marks early on, and even if you don't talk about all the structural elements, you still get credit! For the second paragraph, I would pick one of the structural elements and talk about how they help to carry the given theme in the poem. Whilst doing this, I in cooperate linguistic devices used such as syntax etc. I would do this technique until i cover the main points and remember to use the vital skills such as imagery, poetic devices etc.
I would then repeat this process with the other poem, and slot the paragraphs in comparison to the given poem. So for example if my first paragraph is talking about The fall of women in The Ruined maid, My next paragraph would be comparing the devices used by the poet in the poem I choose to represent the same issue. If i have time I may conclude, but it's not necessary and if you are aiming for the A* try and add some Intertextual allusions! Good luck and hope that helps!
Intertextual allusions ? Can you explain what that is ?
My teacher has told us that those 3 poems are Foundation tier only and definitely wont come up if you are doing Higher??? I haven't been taught these at all so if these come up tomorrow, Im screwed
oh I've never been told this??? lets hope if one does come up you can just chose the other option?
Compare how the poets represent Death in To His Coy Mistress and one other poem.
What do people think about this prediction?
I would compare it with Harmonium
I really do NOT like Harmonium and so if that comes up could you compare it with Sonnet 116 and say how in To His Coy Mistress the speaker wants to kind of live in the moment because you can't have sex when you're dead and what not and then say but in Sonnet 116 love is strong that it can't be stopped by the boundaries of death? And this shows two different representations of death by Marvell and Shakespeare
Basically, I'll do anything to avoid Harmonium lol.
Basically referring to other prominent texts which the poem perhaps has resemblance to. So for example Cassa Blanca can be used as an intertextual allusion for Give.
Mr Pip, Character and Voice. Using BBC Bitesize to go over the main plots and themes of each poem. From other opinions, Give and The Ruined Maid or Ozymandias may come up.
I came across this that states that AQA wont be putting those poems in the exam Though, just because they wont come up, doesnt mean that you cant use those poems as a comparison
