    the sibilance of the 'ss' and 'sh' sounds could also reflect the sounds of the waves of the ocean, again adding up with the natural wonder of the fish and that positive imagery. The natural wonder of the ocean.
    I did some research because I was interested in the quotation 'then the other in a figure of eight', and it turns out the number eight has some connection to Japan. It is considered a lucky number and gives an idea of growing prosperity, hence how it's written (八), the letters broaden gradually. So you could say that the image of the fishes swimming like 'a huge flag' and 'in a figure of eight' add to the fact that the pilot is almost brainwashed, he views the world through the lens of national service and the pride associated with it.
    Got my mock exams in 2 weeks, and your videos are always helpful. I appreciate you carrying my grade to higher places. Thank you, Mr Bruff.

    Two positive words that appear at the end of the poem, “laughed” and “loved”, are both in the past tense which may emphasise how there is nothing positive left for the pilot after the horror of war and he is just another victim caused by war

    Another interpreation if you please. The 'dark prince, muscular, dangerous' shows how the father when he was a boy was impressed at how his dad had tamed a great monster of a fish. This is just another reignition of his childhood memories.

  • @wattscharliedoing
    @wattscharliedoing 5 ปีที่แล้ว +63

    Do you think Garland was making a point against political power? And how that influences society? For example, in the final stanza, the narrator exclaims how the children, "gradually...too learned to be silent". Perhaps this suggests the children didn't necessarily understand why they could no longer talk to and have fun with their Father, they were just taught by the older generation, who are predominantly opposing views of patriotism to their children, suggested by Garland's use of the verb "learned". This word may remind readers of being a child at school, and how education, to some extent, suppresses personal opinions and individuality. Linking this to Kamikaze, the children are too told what is socially honourable, and so believe that their father was not a good man because he didn't sacrifice his life. The children are potentially stuck with that view, which is sad and may cause the reader to feel sympathy towards the Father through the use of cruel irony that they, “treated him as if he no longer existed”. However, this is soon cahnges, as we can clearly infer through the narrator's recent realisation (being older): that his Father was thinking about the impact it would have on his children. The narrator is the next generation who is telling his kids of the story, and hope can be restored in society through the way they now see the unfairness for those higher in power to command those below; to take their own lives in the name of patriotism. The newfound freedom in society could be implied by Garland's use of free verse implying the ability to personally express opinions, unlike the father. This contrasts to the control of six lines per stanza, that oppose a military-like order on the poem...
    (I've run out of ideas and what I am talking about. Hope this makes sense.)

    the line about him and his brothers building a cairn of grey pebbles and watching for their father's boat makes me really sad, as the pilot remembers that innocence from his childhood which could be part of what made him turn back, and in this case it may be that he wishes to experience things like that with his family again, or even watch his children do the same, particularly with him resembling his own father in returning home safe. and then the irony is that he never does get to as his children become distant from him. idk it honestly upsets me

  • @daffytech8317
    @daffytech8317 6 ปีที่แล้ว +12

    I'd like to make an analysis on 'the dark shoals of fishes flashing silver as their bellies swivelled towards the sun'. When I read this at first I was not quite sure at what meaning it could suggest, and so the lines' ambigiouity stirred my mind. After the perhaps tenth read of this section, I gained a dark inerpretation of it. 'Dark' already creates or forebodes something bad and this was what I saw after this; the bellies swivelling towards the sun reminds me of a dead fish with its belly upturning towards the sky once the fish actually does die. And 'flashing' shows how quickly a life can and does end.

  • @mrsmeeseeksttv
    @mrsmeeseeksttv 8 ปีที่แล้ว +19

    In class we thought of the description of "a tuna, the dark prince, muscular, dangerous" we thought of that as a childs imagination. This is because of the reference to fishing boats and the contrast from what he was brought up in then to becoming a "Kamikaze" pilot. The idea that he found tuna more dangerous than that was he was going to do the fact he was brought up around fishing and tuna and told that by his father it was dangerous. What do you think???

    • @sarahstubs3420
      @sarahstubs3420 7 ปีที่แล้ว +36

      Rose Wolf expanding on that - it could be showing the power of teaching, as he has been taught by his fishermen father to fear the dangerous tuna, yet he does not fear death because his culture has taught him it is honourable. These opinions are not his own, but rather those of the people that have influenced him growing up. We then see this happen yet again to his children who are taught to be ashamed of him simply because that is the expected way to behave.

  • @lgcookie1933
    @lgcookie1933 7 ปีที่แล้ว +10

    Perhaps the pilot's children also experienced these 'powerful incantations' that he did, as 'eventually' they 'learned to be silent', emphasising that this clearly isn't out of free will.

      @daffytech8317 6 ปีที่แล้ว +3

      thópr But you must see that this is not the only part in the poem of when it decides to end with a full stop. The two lines before it, is a very large complex sentence ( please correct me if it is not as I cannot be certain whether such a long sentence would make sense). However the conclusive point I am trying to get to is that the two sentences contrast to each other. The first long sentence showing the conflict the kamikaze pilot is going through, and the second showing how it was pointless of him to actually think that his family would want him back and how dying for his country would have been better. The short sentence shows the lack of hope and energy he has compared to the previous line; the futility of his questioning and the decision to finally submit to what would have been the right choice.

    The fish swimming 'like a huge flag' waving 'one way then the other' could foreshadow the surrender of the Pilot: him turning back and aborting the mission. Waving of flags can be related to flags used to surrender. The Japanese culture was very patriotic and despised the concept of surrendering, instead, the Japanese were encouraged to fight to the ebd and to sacrifice their lives - like the Pilot intends to do in this poem. The waving of the flag could also reflect his obsession and devotion to his country as he finds meaning relating to his homeland in nature several times. The movement of the fish being like a flag may suggest that the Pilot is struggling to see anything not in the lens of national service and pride. The conflicting meanings of the flag's movement demonstrate the Pilot's internal conflict between surrender and patriotism.

    why does nobody care that he used a picture of Marie Kondo as the pilot's daughter (narrator)?

    The Kamikaze pilot actually went through with it.

    The 'sunrise' can be seen as the military watching the man/expecting him to complete his mission, as well as God watching the man, tempting him by showing him the beauty of nature, to turn back and abort the mission

    Hi Mr Bruff
    I would like an eight in English Literature, therefore aiming for a nine to hopefully reach the eight goal, fingers crossed! I'm planning on watching all of your videos. This is the last Poetry one (I have watched all of the others and annotated them) then I'm planning on watching your complete Romeo and Juliet series as well as any Jekyll and Hyde and Inspector Calls videos that you may have. I would just like to thank you so much for your dedication to help students to be a success. I'm not quite at an eight (after my mock) but am determined to reach it. If I do it will be from your fantastic video's. Thanks again! :)

      Make a point. Give evidence (quote from text). Then explain why this proves the point you made.
      E.g. Kamikaze pilot is thinking of turning back. This can be seen in the line 'His brothers waiting on the shore'. This shows the pilot thinking of his family back home and the life he has back home. The adjective 'waiting' suggests that the pilot is wondering if his family are waiting and wanting him to return safely.
      Pick out any metaphors, personifications, enjambments and explain the effect of them on the reader. Try to enjoy it as well. Things become much easier if you make it interesting. Hope this helps.

    • @mrsmeeseeksttv
      @mrsmeeseeksttv 8 ปีที่แล้ว

      get a quote and choose a certain word from the quote that has an effect on you as a reader explain that could mean then give anther thing it could mean.

    • @samw5924
      @samw5924 7 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      What are you doing when you revise? The most effective English revision is practice. Actually write or just plan some essays/English Language answers. Pick random themes/extracts from a text then write or plan the essay. It is also important to spend some time learning quotes (not too much though, don't memorise entire paragraphs, Mr Bruff has some tips on picking quotes)
