cool

Hello! In october I will sit for literature IGCSE, and I have a big doubt. Because of a signicant amount of problems that happened in my school with literature teachers we are far behind on the poem and stories we should have read by now. Would you recommend to skip the ones that were asked last year, since I don´t think that there will be a question about the same poem or story as last year. Thank you very much. Greetings

LOVED THIS my exam is in a week and this was so useful!!

Thank you so much I’ve watched all of these two times!

The concept of fire as cleansing is especially intense when considering ones soul. Donne's developing dialog with God is intriguing. In Holy Sonnet 1 he is begging or pleading, here he seems to be demanding a bargain for his soul. Clearly he is becoming more confident in his efforts to communicate with GOD. Or am I wrong?

I might be 2 years late but I have a mock test tomorrow so this has been EXTREMELY helpful, God bless u x

Thanks a lot for the great analysis! This has been really helpful. 🥰

Thank you

I have not read this book but I would probably have a similar reaction to your own. Books that are light on plot MUST have engaging characters worth investment. If not the book becomes very "putdownable". Small stories can be great, but if they become an exercise in abstraction they quickly veer into the realm of dullness (in my opinion).😸

Do u have any suggestions for Edexcel English Lit Paper 3 Poetry 2024?

I have a littérature exam soon and this helped a lot ❤

John Donn certainly had an interesting arc in his catalog of verse...and I suspect in his personal life as well. "Thou hast made me, and shall thy work decay?" is a fantastic title. Donne's pleadings are actually very clever. It seems he is saying; my body is in decay and I sadly except that is inevitable. Yet, God, since you made me you hold some degree of responsibility for the decay of my soul...."help a guy out God, please?" As you say Polina, this sonnet displays Donn's uncertainty and the emotions touched me. In this work Donn is sad, he is scared but he is struggling hard to be hopeful.

Your videos are whats saving me,thank you ❤

I am confused are you advocating for P.E.E.L format or P.E.E.A.L format? and what do you think about P.E.T.A.L technique aswell, which one should I focus on for effectiveness?

hey, please do On the New Bypass by Jane Commane next,

Glad to see you posting

Ami the one

Hi, I’ve been watching your videos and I must say, it has helped me a lot in understanding these poems, but do you have any advice for someone who can’t finish essays within the allocated time? It’s something I often struggle with and I have my exam tomorrow, so I’m wondering what I should do.

hey!! i have my cie on monday and wanted to ask: when writing our answers for poetry, is it recommended to go about the analysis stanza by stanza (chronologically) and give all explanations in one big paragraph for each stanza, or should I generally talk about a common motif and describe wherever it is brought up in the poem?

what sort of mark out of 25 would the example essay get?

tysm!

is there any way to get the pdfs of the poem?

ma gcse lit is in three days. ur analysis really helps. hoping for a*. lit is my struggle.🥴 thanks anyways :)

I didn't like this novella much. I mean its very common "theme"...but again he didn't want to punlish it too

How old are you?

your poetry videos really saved me this year. i just wish i could enjoy this part of the subject more, exam's tomorrow and honestly, i js wanna get this done w. thanks a lot for your insanely useful analysis tho!

Thanks alot for this, my exam is in a while and this helped alot, specially since im self studying this is a big help, thanks alot ALOT

Im just here because I gotta do an assignment and dont wanna read it so thanks lol.

John Donne enjoys his sidesteps into Erotica. Nicely done Polina.

I feel that the poet isn't trying to criticise modern art like Grayson Perry's urn but rather celebrate the free nature of society nowadays compared to the uppity kind of sense in Keats poem. I mean he definitely mocks modern culture in the poem but I get a feeling that hes actually mocking those who think they are better than it. I think the poem's satire reflection of Keats is not only mocking Keats but the "high society culture" Keats praises. I mean isn't it hypocritical for society to mock working class kids for their "lack of culture" while also not providing a society with quality education for them to access it? They keep culture (like the Gricean urn) for the rich to keep it exclusive purposefully , then mock those who aren't well versed in it? That's just my opinion though

Nice explanation ❤

would you ever make one for a levels or is it similar? thank you :)

These videos are so so helpful! thank you so much for your hard work and in-depth analysis x

The bamboo pictured on the book cover does not grow in Hamheung in Korea. Based on actual experience Covers the Japanese colonial period, the Korean War, and the division of North and South Korea, "Year of Impossible Goodbyes" try reading this.
