i have been watching your videos since beginning of prelims and it has polished up my poetry understanding and getting my figurative language. Without you these 19 poems for finals would be impossible. Thank you.
Hi Nelly. That's very kind of you. I hope to get at least 4 more video lessons done before finals. I had taught quite a few poems to my matrics before lockdown, which is why you won't find every poem on my channel. Yet! Good luck with your studies.
A little bit off topic (and perhaps unimportant), but the fact that the IEB doesn't have an official logo is driving me insane. Thank you for the analysis, though! It was clear! 10:35 The luggage that I am personally pulling around is that I am never really going to let go of Avicii or his music, because I grew up with it and I love his style.
a question? When I interpreted the poem? I interpreted a guy because, in Stanza 2 and 3, it mentions her and she, as the one who left and not the guy. Just curious to hear your response. But I am grateful for your work.
That's a great question - and one that comes up in my classroom too. We bring to poems, our own world views. For many people, the assumption is that a couple consists of one male and one female. This is not always the case. Another point to remember is that we should distinguish between the poet and the speaker of the poem. Authors can write from different perspectives - just because the poet is female, we should not conclude that the speaker in the poem is also female. My advice is to refer closely to the text in all answers, supporting your points of view with embedded quotations and close textual references.

Ah, Luke, the fact that you're putting in the hours now will be rewarded at the end of the year! Good luck for prelims.
So helpful. Thank you very much. I hope you’ll cover more of the IEB poetry syllabus before finals ma’am. The way you teach is pure gold.
