The function of chorus
The chorus in Greek tragedies served several functions: commenting on and reacting to the plot, establishing ethical frameworks, adding spectacle through song and dance, and pacing the action. In Oedipus Rex specifically, the chorus represents the citizens of Thebes and gradually comes to understand and pity Oedipus's fate over the course of the play through their odes, guiding the audience's emotions and response. They dramatize the unfolding of events and their own enlightenment.
William Blake as a poet
William Blake (1757-1827) was an English poet, painter, and printmaker. He practiced engraving throughout his life but was also deeply interested in political and social issues of his time. Blake supported causes like the French Revolution and abolition of slavery. He saw imagination and visions as a way to understand the world beyond rationalism. Blake is known for his illuminated printing, combining text and images, and illustrations for books. His collections Songs of Innocence and of Experience use simple language and symbolism to contrast childhood purity with the injustices of adult experience.
Thomas Stearns Eliot
1. T.S. Eliot was an American-born British poet, playwright, and literary critic born in 1888 in Missouri. He is known for works like The Waste Land and Four Quartets.
2. The Waste Land, published in 1922, depicts the disaffection and spiritual barrenness of post-WWI Europe through fragmented images and voices. It explores themes of cultural fragmentation, disrupted cycles of regeneration, and the possibility of unity through myth and belief.
3. Eliot's style in The Waste Land is characterized by association of ideas, juxtaposition, and implication. It uses symbols, images, and quotes in multiple languages to represent subjective experiences in an objective form
A far Cry from Africa by Derek Walcott
The three stanzas depict scenes from the Mau Mau Uprising in Kenya in the 1950s. The first stanza shows the landscape littered with corpses as the Kikuyu tribe feeds on the blood of the victims. The second criticizes those who justified colonial policies that polarized the population, leading to violence against both Africans and European settlers. The third notes that while animals kill for survival, humans extend violence for control and superiority over others through instruments of war like drums made from animal skins. The concluding stanzas reflect on the poet's internal conflict as someone of both African and European heritage torn between the two sides and unable to reconcile them or remain indifferent to the violence.
Samuel taylor coleridge
Samuel Taylor Coleridge was an English poet, critic, and philosopher who was a leader of Romantic poetry. He divided imagination into primary and secondary forms. Primary imagination is a creative faculty possessed by all, while secondary imagination is the conscious, creative power of poets. Coleridge believed the purpose of poetry was to give pleasure, and defined a poem as having organic unity and seeking to produce immediate pleasure in readers through the willing suspension of disbelief. He saw imagination as the key distinguishing factor of a true poet.

They Did Not Expect This: Pupil presentation-Noah and Thomas
The poem tells the story of a young couple who ran away together against opposition and struggled to settle down. Though they went through hardships together, their love did not last as they grew older and fell into an unhappy routine, barely speaking to one another. The poem suggests that not all love withstands the test of time and marriage can devolve into mundane coexistence rather than passion.
A Valediction Forbidding Mourning : John Donne
The poem is an argument by a lover to his beloved not to grieve at their parting. The lover compares parting to death, saying virtuous men die peacefully, so they too can part without tears. The lover argues their souls are one, so parting is an expansion, not a break. Even if their souls are two, they are like the feet of a compass - when one moves, the other leans and heeds the movement, and when it returns, the two are united. Thus the lover persuades his beloved that her firmness will enable his safe return after his journey.

The poem laments the death of the poet's friend, Hallam. In the first stanza, the poet expresses the immense torment of his grief. The second stanza contrasts the joy of children with the poet's deep sorrow and inability to share in their happiness. The third stanza references the poet's lack of plans without his friend, whose voice and touch were tender. The last stanza asks the waves to continue striking the shore, as the poet cannot recall the past happiness shared with his deceased friend.
remembrance by Emily Brontë
Emily Brontë's poem "Remembrance" is an eight-stanza elegy written in 1845 to mourn the loss of a lover from fifteen years prior. The speaker uses imagery of cold graves and the passing of seasons to depict her enduring grief over time. While memories of her lover still bring her pain, she has learned to control her emotions and find purpose in life again without joy. The poem employs literary devices like anaphora and caesura to emphasize the speaker's struggle between remembering her past love and moving forward in the present.

Uncontrolled urbanization is caused by several push and pull factors that force people to migrate to larger cities. The push factors include lack of adequate land and jobs in rural areas. The pull factors include the perception that cities offer more job opportunities across different industries and better access to services like transportation, healthcare, and education. However, uncontrolled urbanization also leads to problems like unemployment, insufficient infrastructure and services, and negative environmental and demographic impacts on urban areas.

Poem Experience
In a literature class, students completed a four-step activity to write a poem using literary devices. The first step was choosing a photo, the second was writing nouns, adjectives, and verbs related to the photo, the third was choosing literary devices, and the fourth was writing a poem incorporating the words and devices. The student chose this activity because they were able to use their imagination to write a poem in a way they had not done before using rhyme. They learned creating poems with literary devices and rhyme can be challenging. While they were pleased with their poem, they felt it could have been extended with more stanzas, devices, and rhymes. They connected the challenge of the activity to the challenge

Art work conclusion
Diego Gravinese's 2008 oil painting "El Hurgador" inspired the artist to experiment with contrasting shapes and perspectives. The distribution of elements in Gravinese's piece and its creative perspective drew the artist in. A photograph of a ball in a field in Brazil also sparked ideas for color palette and subject matter. The artist aimed to use perspective similarly to Gravinese and first planned to paint but chose colored pencils instead to feel more comfortable. With hard work, the artist was able to achieve their goal of an artwork using perspective and was pleased with the final project.
Anthem to doomed youth by wilfred owen
Wilfred Owen's poem "Anthem for Doomed Youth" summarizes the experiences of soldiers dying in World War I. It contrasts the brutal realities of war, with soldiers dying like cattle amid the rapid firing of guns, to the religious ceremonies that are absent. Where there would normally be prayers, bells, and mourning, the soldiers receive only the "shrill, demented choirs of wailing shells." The poem criticizes how young soldiers are sent to their doom in war, facing harsh and inhumane deaths without the traditional funeral rites.

When we two parted
- 1. When we Two Parted By:Francisco Aresi and Marcos Okecki
- 2. Poem
- 3. George Gordon / Lord Byron ● Was an english poet in the romantic moment. ● He was born in london on 22 january 1788 ● He attended trinity Cambridge College ● In 1812 he published his first major work ● He married Anne Isabella Milbanke in 1815, but separated shortly after. ● It was suspected he had an affair with his half-sister Augusta Leigh and other actresses.
- 4. Relevance of the title of the poem “When we two parted” The poem deals with the end of a relationship that the narrator ,hat is thought to be Lord Byron himself feels sad and regretful about. Throughout the poem Byron express his feelings for the woman and the relation between them.
- 5. Análisis Voice/ adresse:It is said that is his own experience so we assume he is the voice.It’s Lord’s Byron’s voice Theme: it is betrayal In "When We Two Parted," the poet speaks often of his sorrow and pain. He recalls the tears shed when the relationship was severed, of being broken-hearted, of how his sorrow has not abated over the years. The cause of such pain is more than the simple fact of the relationship's termination. Promises have been broken.
- 6. Tone:The poem begins with the bleak tone of despair which will characterize the entire work. Immediately the reader is introduced to the speaker’s “silence and tears” (line 2) upon the breakup. Her own reaction is to grow cold—the physical description of her cheek as “cold” and “pale” hints at sickness, but her “colder” kiss (line 6) implies an emotional detachment growing from the very moment of their parting, which Byron finds unbearable. He sees her immediate response and his own emotional reaction at the time as a portent of the future (the present of the poem) as “that hour foretold / Sorrow,” which would reach from the past to today.
- 7. 4 Literary Devices Metaphor:(line 17 - 18) “the name thee before me, all knell to mine ear” Repetition(line 2 and 32) “Silence and tears” Anaphora (line 25 - 26) “In secret we met, in silence I great” The rhyme is assonance is the firsts stanzas and in the ones of the end consonance.
- 8. The end
