I think Mr Bruff is over-rated and Mr Salles is under-rated
They work best in augment tbh. MrBruff has a great overview and Mr Salles has far more indepth, specific information imo.
Yes yes yes
U are wrong
Exactly I thought it was just me
ALLIEEEEEEE
The 6 lines in each of the seven stanzas could reflect the tight structure and regiment of the Japanese army, which contrasts with the way it is written in free-verse with numerous examples of enjambment. This reflects the freedom the pilot wants, and his internal conflict between his personal thoughts and beliefs, and the sense of national duty.
now thats a good one
@@deathrundude6831 pretty sure it's Mr bruff's analysis
@@xitz_jessix1750 aye it is. I was literally watching that video as you responded lmao 😂😂
@@deathrundude6831 you got lit p2 tomorrow as well right? or r u a different year group
@@xitz_jessix1750 I got lit tomorrow and Idk what to do 😭 and how to structure my answer for poems lmao
The 6 stanzas could suggest she loves her father for his bravery. This is strengthened through the reasonably equal line lengths. However there is no rhyme and there is an irregular syllable count. This could suggest that she is torn. She does not know whether to love her father as she naturally would or believe her mother and her country’s ruthless society
Honestly absolute lifesaver. Haven't done much revision up to now and just watching these few videos it has given me so much confidence . Thank You
what did you end up getting in your exams?

@@72safwan96Hiiii I’m doing it tomorrow too
@@aaravsidar6938 yh dk why i left it this late. i js want to compare something to london coz thats my strogest poem
"with a flask of water, a samurai sword"...I was kinda unconvinced with the implication of a sibilant weapon signifying peace, instead the caesura shows a clear divide (a conflict even) between the natural purity of water and the human-construct of war. Unlike the "translucent sea",this natural power is contained by a "flask" signifying that the pilot also remains contained- this time in military duty. Yet at the volta of "half way there" both the water and the pilot break free and connect for the first time (emphasised further by the enjambment, of course the opposing technique to caesura).
omd this is really good
Amazing idea that he was actually accepted. Definitely will use in my exam, it will different to everyone else’s
Fantastic points of reference for my English Literature Paper 2 revision to refresh my knowledge of the poems and learn those key quotes. Thanks Mr. Salles.
this was the last vid I watched before the exam! and kamikaze came up!! thanks so much
Sestets=overbearing and controlling expectations of society
Free verse and lack of rhyme= the soldiers attempt to break free from those restraints
I think that the rigid structure forced upon the poem and the enjambent between the stanzas suggest that it has been 'broken up', an unnatural way to structure the poem. And this reflects the unnatural way to treat the father
But I only just came up with that, I'm not sure if that would be a good point to talk about?
last poem of the cluster !! thank you so much for these videos they help me so much. your channel changes lives
i watched this video right before i went to bed. this was my only revision for kamikaze... im so glad i watched this!!! i actually think it went decently well, i compared it with bayonet charge, hopefully i did well enough for a 9!
did you??
"grandfather's boat" could also be seen as the daughter's grandfather and the father's (soldier's) boat because it's italicised and so is the ending, which is in the daughters pov again!
the line break is called enjambment.
4 years ago and still helping us now
Got my exam in an hour and 30 mins
30 mins now lol

How did your exam go?
@@sloppysushi got a 7 so I guess not too bad 😂
@@rdot7706 Ayy that's really good 👍
6 lines per stanza represents tight military control
free verse could show human power to stand for what he believes and go against the 'powerful incantations' of patriotism
That's amazing thanks
Thank you!!!!!! This upload schedule is brilliant!!!!!
Thank you Mr salles for your amazing videos. Not only have u hopefully boosted my grades but you have made me more interested in English literature as a subject. I used this poem for the exam talking about the power of love and masculinity. That might have been a bad idea tho :( Still anyways ur tha best
No, an unusual poem to pick, but you have excellent comparisons there. Love it
Thank you! i never understood this poem too well before now
watching this at 1.5x speed to save my lit paper 2
Omg that is such a shout
Thank u very much! These vids are very useful and covers through everything that I need. :)
I've made notes on all of these 5 quotes poetry videos. I be started memorising the quotes that you have analysed. Is this enough revision for poetry?
If you can use them in an essay, from memory, then yes. Try it and see!
Mr Salles would you be able to use these 5 quotations on a question where it asks for the power of nature/identity?
For the form this was my interpretation but i dont know if its valid or just a really big stretch by making the most out of nothing. I basically just said that
There are 7 stanzas and each stanza has 6 lines. In japan the number 7 is considered to be a lucky number, they celebrate a new born babies birth 7 days after they are born and when someone dies they are mourned on the 7th day after their death and also on the
7th week after their death. I said that because 7 in japanes culture has to strong contrasting meanings the form of the poem could mirror how the father could also be viewed in two strong contrasting ways the people in japan 1) he is considered to be dead to his family and neighbours but also 2) he could be considered as someone who is bringing in a new culture and tradition to the next generation for the japanes society hence why his choices are seen to be
'muscular and dangerous' because of how brave his devious were. no man has ever done such. I know im really dragging this point out but i honesty have no idea what to say about form !!!
Yes, I think you are struggling. You might equally argue that, as there are 7 stanzas he is incredibly lucky, or because they are all 6 lines long he is not lucky at all. Or, that 7X6 is 42, which is the answer to the universe and everything. I have nothing to say about the stanza structure. Look instead at the italics.
why didnt i see this earlier 😢😢
That fish imagery
Hey Mr Salles, I wrote an essay about Macbeth and I'm curious to know how I could improve.
Shakespeare presents leadership as a difficult struggle between clemency and cruelty; with Macbeth being caught in antithetical realms of value; one where it is praiseworthy to be violent, but simultaneously transformed into a “dead butcher” when he applies the same principles to leadership. Duncan’s hamartia could also be argued to be of the same imbalance; acting more like a saint than a king, as demonstrated by the fact he did not lead his army to war, which would have been expected from a king in Jacobean times. Malcom however may be seen as a synthesis of the violence and virtue necessary to become a king and great leader.
Macbeth’s tyrannical leadership may be seen to be as consequential from the conflict between his pagan soul and his Christian conscience. This is shown through the arguably sacrilegious scene described by the Sergeant, questioning if Macbeth wished to “memorise another Golgotha”. It may explicitly seem as a Christian sentiment due to the obvious reference to the scene of Jesus’s crucifixion, however, as it is Macbeth who is described as the perpetrator of this “Golgotha”, it would in fact align him with the romans who were killing Jesus. This strongly contrasts Macbeth’s deliberation surrounding murdering a “meek” king, with the value of meekness being Christian. This leads him to embody the violent traits which may have been more praiseworthy by pagans, with his ambition driven by the Christian conception of an afterlife which he wished to bring to earth for himself. This consequentially led to Macbeth’s tyrannical leadership, unable to balance the contrasting drives. It may also be said that Shakespeare wished to debase paganism, with King James I’s disdain for witchcraft, and thus would have inevitably made any character associated with paganism a poor leader.
Duncan could be seen as having been overtly meek and cowardly leader. This could be shown by his reaction to Macbeth and Banquo’s great feats in battle, with his question if they were “dismayed” by the armies. While this could be interpreted as merely a dramatic device to lionise the Captains by portraying their great bravery, it could also be seen as Duncan projecting his fears onto the Captains, revealing that he would have been “dismayed” in such a conflict, making him a poor leader. His cowardice and innocence are also deliberated by Macbeth before he murders him, comparing him to a “naked new born babe”; the adjective “naked” portraying his vulnerability, emphasising Macbeth’s malice and tyranny as he prepares to commit regicide, however simultaneously nudity would be associated with shame, especially for a king figure, and could thus be seen as a reprimand for his overly “meek” leadership and lack of cruelty. The “new born” is an ironic statement, with the metaphor for him being “born” precisely before he is to be murdered and die. However, it may be seen as foreshadowing a new king which would take over from Macbeth which would be a descendant of Duncan.
Malcom may be seen as an embodiment of leadership which Scotland needed to resolve the conflict, as shown by his defeat of the “butcher” Macbeth, and by virtue of his descent from Kingship, which would both implicate the necessary clemency and cruelty needed to be a great leader. Structurally, it may be said that Shakespeare wishes to give Malcom an impression of being the greatest king due to the crowning of Macbeth not being shown, however Malcom’s crowning is shown. This perhaps echoes their nature, with Macbeth shrouding himself in secrecy, hoping that the “stars” won’t see his “black and deep desires”. A point can also be made about how little to no mention of Duncan occurs once he has been murdered, which could be seen as a testament to Duncan’s shortcomings as a king, but could also imply that his descendants are capable of embodying his virtues, and that he need’s not be mention as he lives on through them. This would also align with the Jacobean beliefs in the chain of being; with Malcom being Prince of Cumberland before the death of his father and Macbeth.
In conclusion, Macbeth is shown as being a poor leader, by merit of the traits beneficial for a warrior being bad for leadership. Duncan is also an example of how meekness alone is not sufficient for leadership, and that rather to be a great leader one must be able to combine both traits of a warrior and also values such as compassion; however, the difficulty is highlighted by Macbeth, questioning “Who can be wise, amazed, temperate and furious, / Loyal and neutral, in a moment?”, implicating Shakespeare’s belief in impossibility for a perfect leader, and perhaps his compassion towards the imperfect leaders portrayed within Macbeth, whilst highlighting the dangers of all rulers, potentially being consumed by their vice and devolving into chaos.
This is a really interesting essay, and on a much harder topic than is likely to come up I feel. It is certainly grade 8 at least. To improve, you should consider the scene in which Malcolm tests Macduff, where Shakespeare sets out his vision of good Kingship. I have a video on it too.
@@MrSallesTeachesEnglish Thanks, I'll certainly check it out.
I suppose the lesson I take is that I need to include more about actual events of the play. Cheers!
Erm… What and how and why? Wow.
thank you so much Mr. Salles
Also, we have to do a presentation of some sort for GCSE. Do you know what that is all about?
8:03 Can I take both perspective to give my answer more of a critical argument or would that be unnecessary for a comparative question.
I would include it in your conclusion if there is no time to discuss it as you go
Will there be a series like this for love and relationships?
Hi Mr Salles, Which quotes would go with a question asking about conflict?
Mr salles you are an absolute g
thanks for this
Do you have any predictions on inspector calls, jyekll and Hyde or Macbeth or power and conflict for aqa, thank you!!!
its random lmao how can you predict
Got my gcse tmrw thank u very much
That video is coming!
6 line stanzas crate a sense of tight control. This control is tight political control and cultural control that has been placed on these young men.
If a question says how is Hyde portrayed as evil or something like that could you do a separate paragraph that says how he might not be as evil
Yeah you can
If you said that this poem is the only one that has the theme of hope, what other poem could I compare with this idea?
Hi Mr Salles. Wanted to ask you- with the FOSSE method, if you are doing all those steps that would probably take a whole paragraph so how and when do you link it to the comparison poem/at what point? Thank you so much- love the videos!!
Each of the 5 steps is it’s own paragraph. So a 5 paragraph essay
@@MrSallesTeachesEnglish wait, probably too late to be asking, but 5 paragraphs is FOSSE, and we're supposed to do it twice?? 10 paragraphs???
@@zin4026 no i think it means FOSSE but for each paragraph eg starting with form include both poems in there and then do the same for each other part of it ( OSSE) not 10 paragraphs im sure thats WAYYY tooo much in a short amount of time
@@mk-jw2yp ohhh got it, thanks
Dear Mr Salles, I was wondering what you predict will come up in the Macbeth question as well as the Christmas Carol question?
Whatever the question, it is always about the writer's viewpoint
Even still, you predicted correctly for 2018... You must have some prediction for 2019 😂
what is a like question for kamikaze?
i don’t understand the ‘opening part’ in the fosse way what do i put
do you think you could do a similar video for ozymandias?. im sorry if thats too much it just i need a older poem in my mind for form and im struggling
already done
@@MrSallesTeachesEnglish ok thank you
@@MrSallesTeachesEnglish i just thought there was a 5 key quotes one i have watched the longer one before
Can you please tell us wot poems r best to compare with each other
I will
Could the regular line length be reflecting the strict control of the Japanese military as well as strict cultural expectations?
No
@@MrSallesTeachesEnglish how come?
so a volta isn't only specific to a sonnet?
To the purists, yes, but it is adaptable.
Tyyy
what is a likely question for kamikaze?
Conflict of war, or power of society are my best guesses
I am sorry but Idont see where does it say its the father's father's boat?
grandfather's boat
what % chance would you think this has to be given as the poem we have in the exam?
1 in 15
@@willhall1625 thanks, that's super helpful!! not
@@alightbulb5528 No one knows. That is the statistical chance, the only way to be completely ready is to revise everything.
@@RonakChatterjee65 whelp, too late now lol
@@alightbulb5528 sameeeee
can you only get a grade 7 through these???????
you said the sunrise represents the japan flag? think you got confused with chinese flag
Not at all
japan is also known as ‘the land of the rising sun’
8:29
Are all this quotes for the different poems you made enough to remmeber or shall I do more for each poem?
Up to you - 5 quotations are enough if you can make them fit the question
The moral of the story is
We shouldn't kill the members of our own family
Thanks for reducing the grade boundaries for us.
