Welcome back from  ‘ Mid-Term Break’   What do we know about Seamus Heaney? Write 3 facts about him in your books   Do you remember in our research, we discovered that Heaney had a brother who died in a car accident while he was at boarding school?
[object Object],Heaney was born in 1939, and is here at boarding school, so this is the 1950s “ I sat all morning in the college sick bay  Counting bells knelling classes to a close. At two o' clock our neighbours drove me home. ” First impressions:- ‘ Mid-Term Break’ by Seamus Heaney
[object Object],The modern reader may be struck by the neighbours' driving the young Seamus home - his parents may not have a car (quite usual then) or, more likely, were too busy at home, and relied on their neighbours to help. “ At two o’clock our neighbours drove me home.” First impressions:- ‘ Mid-Term Break’ by Seamus Heaney
[object Object],The poem is about the death of Heaney’s infant brother (Christopher) “ A foot for every year.” First impressions:- ‘ Mid-Term Break’ by Seamus Heaney
[object Object],He appears to have been knocked down by a car. “ At ten o'clock the ambulance arrived With the corpse, stanched and bandaged by the nurses……. No gaudy scars, the bumper knocked him clear” First impressions:- ‘ Mid-Term Break’ by Seamus Heaney
[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],Why do you think the school put him in the sick bay? ‘ Mid-Term Break’ by Seamus Heaney
Look at the different ways the parents react to the tragedy.   ,[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],Fathers are traditionally seen as  being controlled and strong leaders of the family ( see ‘Digging’ and ‘ Follower’). For Heaney to see his father distraught with grief would be a new, and shocking experience. All death is sad, a young death is particularly tragic, and in these circumstances, a four year old boy killed in a road accident.  What emotions do you think the mother would feel?   Guilt?  Anger?  Shock? ,[object Object],‘ Mid-Term Break’ by Seamus Heaney
There are aspects of Heaney’s homecoming which embarrass and confuse him. ,[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],Remember …..Heaney was a boy and didn’t know how to feel or respond to family and neighbours.  This is an adult, reflecting on a childhood memory. He did not live at home and share the daily life of his family. He may feel isolated and not feel genuine grief at this point. ‘ Mid-Term Break’ by Seamus Heaney
“… I was embarrassed By old men standing up to shake my hand And tell me they were "sorry for my trouble".  Whispers informed strangers I was the eldest,” ,[object Object],Notice the  euphemism  for death used by the neighbours. People find it hard to use the brutal word ‘death’. How many euphemisms for death can you think of? ‘ Mid-Term Break’ by Seamus Heaney
Notice the contrasting language describing the body of his brother. Line 15: “ With the corpse, stanched and bandaged by the nurses.” Lines 16 - 21 “ Next morning I went up into the room. Snowdrops  And candles soothed the bedside; I saw him For the first time in six weeks. Paler now, Wearing a poppy bruise on his left temple, He lay in the four foot box as in his cot. No gaudy scars, the bumper knocked him clear.” ‘ Mid-Term Break’ by Seamus Heaney
This embarrassment of the public ‘wake’, contrasts with the final section of the poem, where he is alone with his brother. ,[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],An  epithet  is a word which makes the reader see the object described in a clearer or sharper light. It is both exact and imaginative. ‘ Mid-Term Break’ by Seamus Heaney
“ He lay in the four foot box as in his cot. No gaudy scars, the bumper knocked him clear. A four foot box, a foot for every year.” We are reminded how young and small the dead child is; how much growing and living he has missed.  We associate a cot with  sleeping  babies, not death. Does this soften the poem or make it more poignant? ,[object Object],Which lines and images do you find the most poignant (sad) in these three lines of the poem? ‘ Mid-Term Break’ by Seamus Heaney
[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],Rhyme makes something memorable- you  will  remember these lines and feel a pang of sadness as they emphasize the smallness of the child and the brevity of his life. ,[object Object],‘ Mid-Term Break’ by Seamus Heaney
