How to analyse UNSEEN POETRY walkthrough
IGCSE Literature style walkthrough for unseen poetry
📝Copy of text I used in the video (free to download): www.dropbox.com/s/voy8skakiwi114e/Rain%20and%20the%20Tyrants%20by%20Jules%20Supervielle.pdf?dl=0
🎨 Original poem: www.ronnowpoetry.com/contents/supervielle/RainandtheTyrants.html
🔠 Fancy words I used:
Persistent - "This repetition may be building the sense that the rain is an activist of sorts, as it is being personified as someone persistent"
Meagre - "I think I can support a thesis statement that states the rain is shown to be a relatively calm, gentle presence but one that seems to be trying to use its meagre influence to affect the world in better way."
to Aid - "This is aided by the fact that the two lines use enjambment which may mirror the ongoing rain that falls and falls no matter where it is on the continent."
Squabbles - "Hence urging tyrants to remember our common humanity over petty squabbles."

Man's doing my teachers work. Thank you
Cool girl…dancing Queen …So, you can dance, you can jive, In twilight’s embrace, feel alive. With laughter that twirls like silk in the breeze, You’re the heartbeat of night, a moment that frees. Friday whispers through the cracked open doors, Where bright lights flicker, and rocking music soars. Searching for rhythm in a LKF sea of delight, You step onto the floor, chasing spark in the night. Anyone could be that serendipitous kin, In the pulse of the moment, let the night begin. As the rock plays an anthem, the universe spins, Your spirit ignites-dance, let the magic come in. You are the dancing queen, young and bold, With laughter like sunshine, bright and untold. Feel the tambourine’s echo, let joy intertwine, In the shimmer of life, where your essence aligns. You’re a tease, you flicker, and old flame ever true, Leaving shadows behind, seeking the new. Look out for the laughter, for sparks in the dark, For love’s fleeting waltz, a soft, shining arc. Yet beneath the twirling, the masks can mislead, For shadows dance lightly where the heart takes its heed. So toast to the silence, the truths that we seek, In the chaos of rhythm, find strength in the weak. Sipping the solitude, like wine on the lips, In the echoes of night, where the darkness slips, You’ll learn in this madness, the ebb and the flow, Brings forth the pandemonium, where love starts to glow. Dance with your shadows, embrace the confound, For within the jest, genuine pieces can be found. Take up the challenge, step boldly, be seen, ….watch that girl-digging the dancing queen. So, twirl in the twilight, let your heart take its flight, With every bright heartbeat, you are love’s pure light. Dance through the whispers, with laughter and grace, For in the rhythm of life, you’ll find your true place. Cool Girl Dancing.

Part 2 has some sex scenes that amounts to a mild pornography, but that fits well with the overall narrative. Congrats to author Han for the biggest literary prize anyone can ever get!!!!
Thank you for this! This is actually the best analysis i found here .. Love the illustrations!
What a soul she is. I wish her the best: more books to write to wake up our dull conscience.
Very good analysis.
Who would have thought that the author Han Kang would win the Nobel Prize in Literature back in 2021 and now here we are in 2024 as Koreans celebrate her winning The Nobel Prize, people here in Korea are going insane over her win and buying all her books. I am so proud of her and big congratulations to her and her country. Her writing takes deep into painful human suffering and trauma that we all humans can relate to especially in this day and age with all the war and suffering we are literally witnessing right before our eyes. She is an amazing writer and a wonderful and caring human being. God bless you Han Kang!! We all love you very much!!
Congratulations for the Nobel Prize!
well explained nobel prize!
Thanks man, i got my english exam tomorrow and we need to analyse ads. This was really helpful :)
The shah went to Egypt not Switzerland
DO NOW: Please may you make an updated video with more theories, including psychoanalytic theory in literature, I'm stuck doing my EE. Thanks Chrissy J!!!
Hey, I have already chosen The God of small things, but am finding it difficult to find a research focus. Any help?
Readers in or after 2024 may also want to look at “The Djinn Waits a Hundred Years” by Shubnum Khan, which takes the Gothic conventions into a different country and century but still feels intensely classic.
Not true, Iraq is majority Shia.
Thanks so much! I'll be sharing with my class on Monday as we begin "lenses of approach" to ancient texts.
Thank you sm, Chris! Your walkthrough was incredibly helpful. I'm about to take my literature exam, and it has really relieved all the stress :)
👏👏👏
It's important to highlight not only the "human violence" theme, but speacially the male violence, that is normalized: both the protagonist's husband and her brother in law rape their respective wives, her father is physically abusive, among other acts of more "subtle" violence.
Yo mr Jordan I didn’t know you had a yt channel

cool
amazing video man,thank you it has really helped me for my exams !
Decent overview, I did not know that the term gothic was initially a derogatory term from the Renaissance (what is your source on that?). A slight correction though: Dracula was not the first of his kind but he is the most iconic. The first was Lord Ruthven of The Vampire by John Polidori. There is also J Sheridan Lefanu's Carmilla.
Very helpful - thanks!
