oh they're just just say thank you for the support of our books I thought I'd do some summaries on on the IV poems and I think it's a good way to revise but just always compare to the notes that your teacher give you this is just to revise it or to study it quickly little crash course on it if you you know what I mean so just to say thank you to more at Campbell for making all the poems available to me and also sharing some of the notes that's really helped so this is the
first one remember if you the books if you don't have the books where have you been why don't you have them if you struggle with prima starting to pass or if you just want to turn a 17 into an 80 or just consolidating a these are the books that you need to have for for the IB exams for the trials for the 11th team you can either use it for Grade eight or nine I go but getting on with the pot I thought we'd start with stirlitz eeeh you know Annie Annie Cooper she she wrote
the poem and she this is typical of her work she she wrote master's thesis on on the bedrock of music and the lyrics so I was home incidentally fits into her sort of work and what she's interested in I think she looks for letting it now and she's sort of a music music journalist anyway just go through the pipe still let's yeah we'll read it together there is of course this plant we all night the paradise what's a paradise bird flower and so let's just read the poem you'll see here that I have the poem
and then some translations and then some notes that we'll go through just very quickly some notes that I made if I think the easiest way would if you want to you want to note screenshot the whole thing and then just print it out or otherwise get your teachers to email her and I'll email the the OneNote file to him or her and you guys can can print it out I'm gonna try to do all the poems it does take a while though but anyway this let's read thread that verse he had still lot fell for
screening smoke tumor froze his son from radar inkless of goombahs not at Sadie orphaned on slipped Alexi Aviv with the lung so here it doesn't flatten off after his dear phenolic mixes done and his calf eight skill ik cos coke Nora Lincoln can't phone or symmetrical a fader seized in operated star it was hits the lot fell for screenings mock your Murdoch and in Senatobia service Medi star on the screening student knee chasse docked in monster pond poop war machine or stirlitz eeeh stuck and spoke okay so it's a it's a lady driving obviously driving
to work or about to drop off the skid at the school's teenager her son and as he drives out she see at the garage she sees that he's kicking breaking her flowers is quite an aggressive action II of breaking this flower because it's just before we go into the meaning of all of this which are happier for you let's just look at some of the translations still let's see oh that's that's the that's the flower not that it has a small esterday talk about that later that Vasily it's the lots of Renault smoke that was
already too late to make excuses for screenings as excuses I democracy's unfunded or inkless of Kunduz feud few seconds after she that morning step the look is precisely okay on time just move this done precisely on time she pulled out of her out of her driveway stoop delivers precisely okay on time with the lungs of her head with a long cigarette she's smoking a long cigarette doesn't flatter Knowles smooth nails she goes behind the steering wheel she sits behind the steering wheel in her luxurious car sit down and for Scaife as she sort of moved
in all set Donald shifted into her car then skillet suddenly she's shocked okay not elonka can't phone are some yetis hopeless a deceased in operat store she's steering them at the left side of her very symmetric driveway and it's it's paved her play fader driveway it's it's it's paved with with expensive stones okay she stares to the left of the driveway because something is happening there the boy is they breaking with flowers that Vice idiots the Lord for for screenings mop it was too late to make excuses again we have that reference to making excuses
which we'll talk about later and then you're more dark yes but maybe get all single words and din in case so he should be a suffice she wasn't in cash wasn't so busy while steering many star song together with steering begin on for squirming stir thank me thinking about excuses he's already trying to think about excuses for why this kid is breaking her flowers are trying to excuse his behavior or trying to excuse her failure if you luck as a parent however we'll we'll look at that more carefully later Cersei docked in Munster Rita skunk
poop she wasn't like shocked and steering she could think of reasons corpus as an understand I in a frequency sir copied sir I understand it I have my mind wrapped around it I can hit it I can understand it I guess was just a saying that so that Pope can write name or rhyme with scope at the end you see they scope okay so it gives this last line a little bit more embarking backed okay so say doc I'm for screeners condemned he says adopted minister he has come co bottom of see an austere let's
see a stiffened voice scope is kicking the flowers she wasn't so shocked and she wasn't thinking about excuses all the time she could made me really understand and start to unpack why this kid is breaking flowers you go so that those are the translations cool let's look at some of the notes I have yet for you just to really it's not a different there's not a difficult point at all if you understand I need club Bush work it's always about some sort of protest teenage protest people in the early twenties protesting against the norms of
society the rules that society wants to impose on and that's I think she's influenced by ideas and thoughts of friendship from koepka knees and his and his band so if you understand that you can understand the pun okay title not what I'm going through this I'm not really aimed at what they could possibly ask about the poem so it's wonderful to sudden check for hours about perche but at the end the day you've got ten marks that you have to get for this poem in the exam or in your trials or whatever when you test
some of you will still have poetry tests so I'm really gonna the notes are really geared towards what they could possibly ask and the title is definitely something that they would shoot for our I would ask questions about the title so let's see why I still it's a wise why did she choose that type of flower not some other type of flower or some other random plant knowing the the poacher it will definitely carry meaning it's just it's not that she just randomly thought of that so it's still let's hear it becomes a quite a
powerful symbol towards the end of the pun but we've got a note on that later but just to start off with it's about death to her it's a very fancy boy sort of a pretentious plant almost and if you look at this thing I mean there is it's such a showy sort of a show-off but of show flowers like classy upper-class sort of thing they've very evolved I said they're very popular in sort of a middle class wouldn't be at all suburbs you can say suburbs just like that in Afrikaans as well they apparently grow
quite slowly and their long-term project okay and later will link the strelitzia to growing a still it's almost like raising a child its long-term project it's slow a lot lots of things can go wrong okay so look at what it symbolizes late so we'll just click you've also asked enter the title so will not draw too much okay okay so what did that last year then ask or what type of flower is it it's also called the Paradise full bloom okay that's the other name for a doctor austere however I would definitely assuming about the
symbolism that is created the symbolism funny funny little funny broom what does it actually represent us stand for but I've got a note on that later sir so this is gone alright so the poem talks about making excuses for squirrels making excuses does this could have two possible interpretations I think first of all she tries to think of excuses for her boys behavior heard of the beer on forums ate them for a sensor heard off for his weird behaviors of grace of rebellious behavior of breaking this plant okay or is she trying to make excuses
for her failure as a parent yeah she's this this fancy lady she's clearly quite clearly important as we'll see now however his son is involved in some quite deviant behavior breaking her breaking her precious precious let's see us okay because he knows there is what whoa that's what warheads on it okay okay so that's just not there - I would definitely are something about the excuses the first women's comes up there it comes up there it comes up there okay so it's very hard to ignore that when you asked when you're shooting for your ten
marks when you're setting questions if I was the examiner I would definitely ask me about all these excuses again so she's excuses for her son's behavior and excuses for her failure as a parent security is the note for you okay now this lady's your son fun bred dog and I see in mrs. Campbell's notes that I pretty with that she they said her full name's sue son found a dog why would they do that it's almost like she's too important just to be named by her surname and it's smurfo just son from below okay just
clink nice I said just made a note for you on that it sounds like she's a but I'm gonna go throw any for me and Scott she's important full names I mentioned she is step the look guys she's very punctual on Tom BSA she's very busy clearly doesn't have time to waste we see that there by Inglis of corners see they a few seconds after 7:00 she pulls out of the driveway not a minute a few seconds okay tempis year sales pedometer that could be a question I might offer coming about the seconds day after
sakuni's for a belong work that would be answer that implies she's it's harm is valuable it's just kisses add that typed as Vodafone it's just maybe add that as well I would shoot for that for sure okay then there's these what about a deer so it's in English parentheses parentheses these something like that impossible to say here extra and left and these things always give extra information okay I would also ask something yes you can't just say in a question if there are something about the parentheses that it gives extra information so what I would
want to know what the function is why are they there in the first place okay so what what's that does the funky funny brand dear sir maybe something like this you might may state it differently blast yes burner basically ever fans his son Bosh a buyer nearly default so it places the reader inside the busy laughs we give us give us some sense of her life how busy she is and where she's interrupted often was a parent yes sir interrupts the flow of the poem you can only busy people they often obviously like teachers they
are interrupted the whole wall Tom often interrupted so that's the function then it gives it also it's the pickle of of her poetry is that she is what they call her a style technique she postpones the outcome of the pot okay balls tension at both spawning if you like okay spawning still it's doubt it's just a technique where you postpone the evening of the poem yeah then they could ask me about the long cigarette personally I wouldn't really it's a those long thin circuits they ladies cigarettes say it's often often a status symbol get it
more expensive than your normal cigarettes I wouldn't know push me a friend told me they have smooth she has smooth nails they're so nails were done recently she has a luxury car okay that shows that she has a above average blue Matylda and poster she's quite rich okay Huda yeah she's quite rich she has money it's all about status and norms yeah okay then those words see look at her scope you'll see and the poem yeah they're standing alone you see they there's a lot of white paper around these two words why I would say
in the question say deeper prophecy you love the Selassie topographical isolation or the Alliant blossom putting those words alone on a line what's the what does it achieve I would be my question what but the right that what what is difference it often okay so it's two Swami's cook in first among two between two she saw a shocked she's so dumbfounded it emphasizes those things because those words stand alone it's also again that hdf deafening prosper next postponement technique to heart and crease the spinal tension okay it says the link account the left the Boise
turning to the left of the driveway okay that's in contrast with the word symmetrical this this boy is everything but symmetrical and perfect yeah used to the left okay awful Center is more than one way if you know what I mean okay it's just NIV acne something is not right with this kid something's not right with this kid then there's the word see you Stian again it's expensive rock it shows that she's a rich for who day like fro yeah just a side note no mention of their father hang in the normal household the father
will probably run out and plot this kid and discipline him but instead of the boss of the SA she's like of the bar of vsms okay as obvious er all right and also the word lungs left left if you say someone has to the she has a lift way of thinking in other words they're more liberal maybe this is a liberal household and the parenting has flopped a bit maybe it's something about her political social viewpoints I said it D no note go then it says they fear for swooning smoke all right again the emphasis
on making excuses making excuses rather than fixing the problem by just making excuses the ad Harlan says the repetition I would ask why's it repeated why is it repeated three days early edits could also be seen as excuses I would I would assuming about the repetition at the advice and this would be the answer then really matter how you state the question this will be the answer yeah all advice same was all via dearly C&C Haddad of fidelity I guess it she had to explain the boys behavior many times before to friends to teachers to
neighbors and so on okay and also she's had to justify to herself why why is her parenting failed she has to be successful in other areas of life however when it comes to his son something went wrong okay okay just a note I made use of don't use it he's also a long-term project just like her stirlitz yeah but he wasn't successful the flower clearly was well until it got smashed but yeah maybe there's a comparison we can draw between the flower and the boy get in those words you're more talk every day okay again
spanning via I christou emphasizes the scope if you don't know what emphasizes mean learn it very quickly it's your best friend but claim to any scope important yeah say don't come for screening for Swimming's nearly others for emotions just that if really she's thinking of is a difference between thinking of excuses and thinking of reasons for someone's behavior if she really understood the reasons she could maybe do something about it and that's the whole point of this point she's just making excuses just not thinking of the deep-seated reasons why her son is acting in this
way okay there's a notes on that later maybe star Shan steering okay she's still steering you scope for notion so her drafters the shop is absolutely paralyzing it for llama for llamas para de paralyzing her druthers is behavior okay what's that word doc maybe you will maybe if you weren't so busy then what sounds like a comment from the narrator maybe if you weren't so busy thinking excuses you could understand the reasons why your son is reacting this way okay so it's almost like sarcasm there from then the writer very subtle I almost missed it
but it's there okay dision Viet that sir Sam or Cuauhtemoc accessable America plant breath okay so he knows which but Mr pushy knows what hard to get the attention that he feels he needs right whether it's positive or negative attention he is breaking her valuable plant okay so why this plot now we're getting back to you that titles to let CR and this is the note that I took I said that the stirlitz yet almost becomes the symbol of the mom's social status and failure as a mother there we go sounds fancy it becomes a
symbol of the moms social status and her failure okay it's also a symbol of the boyars rebellion against his mother's suck Authority is rebelling iced on OPN say more sir huzzah and it's also typical of her workers what Whizzer but the folk of political music it's all about rebelling against Authority and so on is the norms that norms and standards that society wants to impose on us okay so sounds fun dear me update on earth Danis on Ossian I just put that in as well maybe she spends more time on her garden and she does
on her son she is in fact the absent mother and evidently we could guess that the father's was absent okay also send him Mars Needs her depth of super-long she's just as fancy as the flower so by him breaking the flies he's trying to break down this this image of status that the mother has built up for herself okay if there was something about the theme of the poem this is purpose year's us tonight one suggestion you could you could find something else it doesn't matter namasthe sure Fusco Fung she's support in her middle class
bestowing middle-class existence that she doesn't understand the rebellious of Stunna her behavior of her son doesn't understand it she just tries to make excuses for it she doesn't have the time if it enough love maybe and I for love to understand it fully it's typical of any couples work the rain there's no rhyme yeah it's a free free free verse yeah however I am schemer it's pointless saying well there's no wrong and then leaving it day there's got to be you've got it connected to the meaning of the poem you can't just say there's no
wrong so it ends day it's very fitting that there's no rhyme on this point why that would be the question at our shoot for us why is it so fitting that there's no rhyme scheme there's no order there's no structure really to the poem is just it's very loose very very news so I just said it bust by the idea fits with the idea that there's no hope no understanding for the boys problems and behavior only net force women's excuses fits us the idea that there's no understanding of the boys problems and behavior only excuses
maybe that is that is the theme of the poem I would say ok so that's the poem in half and a half an hour I try stick to that sort of time time frame is still of I think it's pretty fast way to revise the poems screenshot this thing and prints it if you would like I think it's all in one page there now in fact I mean just you raise everything else a you've got a nice clean nice teen screenshot of the nice hope it hops and just once again thank you to muere for
