The poem uses imagery of innocence like doves and playgrounds to represent the son's youth before being lost to war.
1) The document analyzes Langston Hughes' poem "Harlem" and relates it to themes in Lorraine Hansberry's play A Raisin in the Sun. 2) In the poem, Hughes explores what happens to dreams that are "deferred" and compares them to drying up like a raisin in the sun or festering like a sore. 3) In the play, the characters of Walter, Mama, and Ruth each have dreams that are either "crusted over like a syrupy sweet" or "stink like rotten meat" as their circumstances change.
The document discusses and analyzes a poem about a Japanese kamikaze pilot during World War 2. It begins by providing context about kamikaze pilots and their suicide missions. It then shares an excerpt from the poem, which describes the pilot having second thoughts about his mission after seeing natural beauty from the sky. The poem continues, showing how the pilot returns home but is shunned by his community for having survived. The document analyzes themes of conflict, power and death in the poem through discussion questions and explanations of poetic techniques used. Students are asked to choose one of these themes and analyze how it is presented in the poem using evidence from the text.
The poem "Storm on the Island" by Seamus Heaney describes a powerful storm hitting a small island community off the coast of Ireland. In the first few lines, the community feels prepared and secure in their sturdy cottages. However, as the storm intensifies, feelings of fear and isolation set in. Nature becomes a violent and destructive force as the trees and sea, normally comforting, now threaten the islanders. By the end, the community feels helpless against the huge and invisible force of the storm. The poem uses imagery and metaphors of war to convey the terror and lack of control experienced during the storm.
The poem describes a mother's emotions as her son leaves home to go to war. On the day of his departure, she pins a poppy to his lapel and helps prepare his uniform, resisting her maternal instincts to care for him as a child. After he leaves excitedly, she wanders places that remind her of him, hoping to hear his voice on the wind. Birds are used as symbols of freedom and loss, reflecting her conflicting feelings of worry for his safety and pride in his independence. The poem conveys the mother's sadness, anxiety, and fear through domestic and war imagery as she comes to terms with his departure.
The poem "Do Not Go Gentle Into That Good Night" by Dylan Thomas uses the villanelle form to encourage old men not to accept death passively. Over five tercets and a concluding quatrain, the speaker urges the wise, good men, wild men, and grave men not to "go gentle" but to "rage, rage against the dying of the light." In the final stanza, the speaker directly addresses his own father, who is dying, pleading with him not to submit to death without defiance.
This document provides context and analyzes the themes, structure, and language of Wilfred Owen's poem "Exposure." It notes that the poem was written during WWI as soldiers endured brutal conditions in the trenches. Through its use of rhyme, rhythm, vocabulary and literary devices, the poem depicts the despair and meaningless of war from the perspective of soldiers more fearful of the extreme cold and weather than enemy bullets. The analysis highlights how the poem aimed to contradict the glorified depictions of war in British propaganda.

Though he recovered from his injuries, Owen continued serving until he was killed in action just one week before the end of the war.
The poem describes a mother's emotions as her son leaves home to join the army. In the first stanza, the mother remembers pinning a poppy to his lapel as she struggles to contain her emotions. After he has gone, she visits his bedroom overwhelmed with grief. The final stanza finds her at a war memorial, leaving it ambiguous whether her son has died or she simply misses and worries for him. Throughout, the mother is consumed by memories of her son as represented by the poppy.
The poem "Poppies" by Jane Weir describes a mother's emotions as her son leaves home to join the army. She feels sad and anxious for his safety as she helps him prepare in his uniform. After he leaves, intoxicated by the world, she visits places that remind her of him, hoping to hear his voice on the wind.

Wilfred Owen was a British poet and soldier during World War I. He enlisted in 1915 and arrived in France in late 1916 during one of the harshest winters. As an officer, he led his men in battles and witnessed terrible things, suffering from shell shock himself. In his poetry, including "Exposure", Owen drew from his own experiences of the futile and miserable conditions of being a soldier during that winter, with the soldiers facing the extreme cold and snow as much of an enemy as those they were fighting.
This document provides context and analysis for the poem "Ozymandias" by Percy Bysshe Shelley. It examines the key poetic devices and literary techniques used, including rhyme, meter, enjambment, and caesura. It also analyzes the character and voice within the poem, noting how the unnamed traveler relates the story of encountering the shattered statue of Ramesses II, known as Ozymandias, in the desert. The document concludes that the poem serves as a symbolic representation of the arrogance of man and the transient nature of power and glory.
The poem is about a woman who was forced to leave her home country as a child for political reasons. She fondly remembers her homeland and native city in bright, positive terms. While her homeland may now be experiencing war and tyranny, her memories remain fixed as a "bright, filled paperweight". In her new country, she is accused of being "dark" and faces threats for speaking her native language and connecting to her culture. Despite this, her city and memories of it continue to be associated with "sunlight".
The poem describes a soldier's experience during a bayonet charge in World War I. It shows the soldier awakening in a state of confusion and terror as he runs towards enemy lines under gunfire. As he runs, the soldier questions his purpose for being there and what has become of his patriotic ideals. By the end, his only motivation left is survival driven by fear and terror, as he mindlessly plunges towards the enemy.
This document provides an analysis of the poem "Poem at Thirty-Nine" by Alice Walker. It summarizes the structure, themes, language, and key elements of the poem. The structure uses free verse and enjambment to emulate train of thought. The main themes are remembrance of Walker's father and life/death. Walker expresses regret over lost time with her father but also pride in their similarities. She finds comfort in remembering him through similarities in cooking and life lessons.
Wilfred Owen's poem "Dulce et Decorum Est" describes a group of exhausted soldiers retreating after days in the trenches who are attacked by German artillery using chlorine gas. One soldier struggles to put on his gas mask in time and flails as he suffocates, his death haunting the speaker. The poem criticizes the notion that it is honorable to die for one's country, arguing that the true horrors of war should be seen by those who send soldiers to their doom.
The poem describes the mythical rape of Leda by Zeus, who had transformed into a swan. It depicts the violent and nonconsensual act, with Leda held helpless in the swan's grasp. The rape has further implications, as it leads to the birth of Helen and the starting of the Trojan War. Yeats uses the metaphor to represent how humans are shaped by forces beyond their control and swept up in larger historical events.
The poem describes a narrator riding through the countryside on a still afternoon and observing leaves silently falling from the trees like snowflakes. This simple natural scene makes her think of the thousands of young soldiers dying in their prime in the trenches of World War I. She draws an allegorical comparison between the falling leaves and the fallen soldiers, who were "slain by no wind of age or pestilence" but instead laid "strewed" across the Flemish clay like snowflakes vanishing without reason or purpose. The poem reflects on the devastating human cost of the war through this image of leaves dropping quietly from the trees.
The document provides an analysis of John Donne's metaphysical poem "Batter My Heart" through a S.E.A (Statement, Evidence, Analysis) framework. Key points discussed include the violent imagery and imperative tone used to express the speaker's inner desperation and struggle to let God into his life. Various literary devices are examined such as syntax, lexis, imagery, phonology and an extended metaphor portraying God as a carpenter, military man and rapist to overwhelm the speaker. The analysis highlights how these techniques convey the complex nature of the speaker's argument and feelings of uncertainty and passion towards his decision and religion.
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 guns angrily firing, against the religious ceremonies usually accompanying death. Owen describes the soldiers' deaths being marked only by the sounds of shells wailing, instead of prayers, bells, or mourning. The poem criticizes how young soldiers are sent to their doom in war, comparing them to cattle. It conveys Owen's disillusionment with how religion and society view the sacrifices of soldiers.
This document provides guidance for structuring an essay response, including introducing the question and thesis in the first paragraph, analyzing the form, structure, and language in separate paragraphs, exploring themes and messages, and concluding. It then summarizes the short story "My Polish Teacher's Tie" by Helen Dunmore, about a Polish dinner lady who begins corresponding with a Polish teacher and discovers they have more in common than she thought. Key points are that Stefan's bright tie is a symbol of hope and Carla's language becomes more elaborate as her love of poetry grows. Symbolism, repetition, and juxtaposition are used effectively in the story.

The poem "Caged Bird" by Maya Angelou describes the difference between a caged bird and a free bird. The caged bird is said to represent African Americans who were enslaved, while the free bird represents white Americans who had freedom.

Themes in the poem include racism, freedom versus slavery, hardships, and a message of hope.
Blake's poem "London" describes the miserable conditions he observed in the city of London during the Industrial Revolution. Through the use of vivid imagery and rhetorical devices, he depicts a place defined by suffering, where poverty, child labor, and disease run rampant. Blake held those in power, like the church and wealthy landowners, responsible for failing to help the lower classes and end their endless cycle of misery. The poem expresses Blake's Romantic and political beliefs opposing the changes brought about by industrialization.
Othello (The Tragedy of Othello, the Moor of Venice) is a tragedy by William Shakespeare, believed to have been written in 1603. It is based on the story Un Capitano Moro ("A Moorish Captain") by Cinthio (a disciple of Boccaccio's), first published in 1565.[2] The story revolves around its two central characters: Othello, a Moorish general in the Venetian army, and his treacherous ensign, Iago. Given its varied and enduring themes of racism, love, jealousy, betrayal, revenge, and repentance, Othello is still often performed in professional and community theatre alike, and has been the source for numerous operatic, film, and literary adaptations.

2. About the Poet: Shabbir Banoobhai
◦ Born in Durban 1949- during the peak of
Apartheid
◦ While studying a teaching diploma at
Springfield College he worked as an the
assistant editor of the newspaper and
served as SRC President.
◦ Shabbir is a Muslim colored man.
3. About Shabbir Banoobhai’s Poetry:
◦ His poetry reflects the fate of the greater South African community who were oppressed and
victims of the Apartheid regime in South Africa.
◦ His poetry is a mixture of political, spiritual and personal ideas.
◦ He wants his work to “ promote a vision of a more humane society- a society that not only
respects all its members but as human beings but considers them as spiritual beings and
essentially divine”
◦ His Muslim religion is reflected in his poetry but his poetry is also directed against narrow
minded and exclusive religious thinking.
◦ Most of his poetry speaks about the South African issues from a colored Muslim man’s
perspective.
4. Shabbir’s thoughts on the poem:
◦ When asked who was the poem directed to he said:
“ While I think it is more that acceptable to conclude that the poem is for my daughter, in reality
the poem was written before we had children before our first child was even conceived, as we
were debating the merits of bringing up a child in a ‘sun-darkened land’ where the ‘eclipse’ may
one day close her eyes prematurely, or where she may never know the meaning of living in
freedom.
Yet because of my love for all human life (and naturally more so at that age for my own child) in
the poem, the future became the present through the force of that love. The child therefore
became alive and I started to love her as if she was already with me and I pledged to her (before
her presence on this earth) all the love I had to offer.”
5. About the Poem: You Cannot Know the
Fears I have
◦ He was part of the greater colored community in South Africa during Apartheid regime-but he
shared the fate of the larger black community
◦ This poem was written in the 1980s- during the peak of violence during Apartheid Regime.
◦ To better understand the poem the reader must put “I fear that shall” or “I fear” or “I fear that”.
6. “I fear that”
You cannot know the fear i have
As I think about you
“I fear that I shall”
lie awake long nights while you sleep
So loneliness does not trouble you
Nor hunger, nor thirst
10. Stanza 1 Breakdown:
◦ Who is the “you” and “I” in the poem?
◦ What are possible fears that the poet could be talking about? We know this poem was written

◦ Who is the poem addressed to? His future children but how do we know that? (look throughout
the entire poem and not only the Stanza 1).
◦ Lower case I indicates the powerlessness that the poet feels in the face of the Apartheid Era and
regime.
11. Stanza 2:
i fear that i shall live only at your laughter
lie awake long nights while you sleep
so loneliness does not trouble you
nor hunger, nor thirst.
12. Stanza 2 Breakdown:
◦ “I shall live only at your laughter”- the poet realizes that as soon as the child is born then his
life’s purpose and drive will be forever altered.
◦ “lie awake long nights as you sleep” – this is the act of a new born parent but this could be the
actions of a parent like Shabbir who fearful of the future of his child in a tumultuous political
climate like 1980s Apartheid
◦ “so loneliness does not trouble you, nor hunger nor thirst”- the same actions of a parent with a
newborn child stays awake to feed the child to ease their hunger/thirst in the night time. Why
does Shabbir think loneliness would trouble their child? What does he think is going to part of
the child’s life in the future?
◦ By easing the child’s hunger and thirst, what is the poet trying to ensure the child?
13. Stanza 3:
overwhelm your waking world with wonder
with the music of other worlds, your earlier home
read to you poems written the night before
while you smiled bewildered
14. Stanza 3 Breakdown:
◦ “overwhelm your waking world with wonder”- the poet wants to expose their child to cultures
all over the world and the art and beauty of other cultures
◦ “read to you poems written the night before”- the poet wants to share with the child their own
art and artistry and possibly expand their view on the world and how to look at it.
15. Stanza 4:
or just when my very breathing begins to depend on
you
even as your tiny fingers close around mine
some insensitive thing
crushes your butterfly spirit
16. Stanza 4 Breakdown:
◦ “or just when my very breathing”- the poet realizes that his life will be linked to the child and
that to live the child needs to live.
◦ “some insensitive thing”- this is the apartheid regime. Why does he describe it as “insensitive
thing”? What part of speech is this part of the poem? What is its effectiveness have on the
reader.
- Metaphor: directly comparing the Apartheid regime to being and something that has no
concern or feeling for others. Shabbir objectifies the regime as much as the regime objectifies
people were not white. What does objectify mean?
◦ “Crushes your butterfly spirit”- what part of speech is this? Is it appropriate in the the sense of
the poem?
Metaphor: the direct comparison of the baby’s spirit to a butterfly. The effectiveness is to show
that the baby is as fragile and delicate as a butterfly. Yes it is appropriate when taking about the
vulnerability of the baby to outside forces.
17. Stanza 5:
shadows of a sun-darkened land
flow over you
and the eclipse
closes your eyes
18. Stanza 5 Breakdown:
◦ Considering the context of the poem what is the “shadows of the sun-darkened land”?
Apartheid Regime.
◦ When “the eclipse closes your eyes” what is the poet trying to say will happen to the child?
1. Firstly, look at the definition of eclipse? (block out/keep from being seen)
2. Secondly, look at the connotations that come with eclipse?
◦ It speaks about the eventual death of the child- which is possible to think about while raising a
child during the Apartheid era.
19. Stanza 6:
i cannot live with the thought of having you, loving
you
any other way
a day without such care
has no meaning
20. Stanza 6 Breakdown:
◦ Even though the poet has described all his fears, he still wants to be a parent during those
conflicted times.
◦ “i cannot live with the thought of having you, loving you any other way”- he wants to have and
raise a child even during such difficult times. He knows that he could have child in a different
circumstance but he choses the one he has written about. Why? Because he wants to be a father
no matter what and how enriching (enhance the value of) his life would be.
◦ “a day without such care has no meaning”- the poet suggests that living a life where he is not a
father and aware and watchful of his child and their future is a day without any meaning.
22. Stanza 7 Breakdown:
◦ “we shall find for you a name”- poet believes that a name of a child shapes who they are and
what future they will have
◦ “your name shall bring light”- this links back to “sun-darkened land” and “eclipse closes your
eyes”, the poet wishes to undo all of that with the name of his child hopes that it will bring a
change to their future and the life of the child.
◦ This decision to name a child is also a decision to have the child- so this stanza is Shabbir
solidifying his commitment to be a father.

Editor's Notes
1980s filled with terror and confusion of the future of South Africa.
State of Emergency, police and army running around the POC communities
Serve surveillance of the people and in their communities.
Addressed to a child: linked to the diction and the punctuation of the poem- it simpler to read and understand as if it were to be read to a child. No complex sentences and the structure is a free verse so it flow easily with easy understanding.
Oxymoron: the fact of two things being seen or placed close together with contrasting effect
The “sun” brightens but is placed next to the contrasting effect of “darkened”
This is is mentioned in Revelations- John makes mention of the sun darkening the land as God destroys the world, Shabbir could be making connectioin that the Apartheid Era in the 1980s is that of the end of the world in his eyes.
Why would he use biblical references when he is a Muslim man?
