 Hello and welcome to our video summarizing all the key quotes to memorize for the Power and Conflict Anthology. My name is Barbara and in this video I'll give you a quick run through of all the main quotes, context and structure points that you need to memorize for your Power and Conflict exams. Now the anthology has 15 poems which is a lot so I've limited the quotes to remember per poem to just two quotations. I'll show you how you can get the most out of each of the two quotations per poem and for each poem I'll show you the kind of word-level analysis you need to remember as well as of course context. So let's begin. Now the first poem in this collection is Ozymandias by Percy Shelley. In terms of structure it's written in sonnet form and contextually and do bear in mind of course my notes are very short hand. He's a romantic poet and he wrote the poem after an Italian explorer found a statue in the desert. Now the first quotation to remember is half sunk a shattered visage lies whose frown. Now in this quotation you have Cesura so of course after sunk and lies you have Anjomont and you also have the violent verbs of course Anjomont is at the end of frown and the violent verb is shattered. Now the second quotation to remember before you move on is King of Kings ellipsis then you select colossal wreck boundless and bear. In this quotation what you need to bear in mind is there's hyperbole, Cesura, repetition and alliteration included. Now for the second poem in this collection it's London by William Blake. Now structurally do remember that it's written in four quatrains, quatrains being four line stanzas and it has a very consistent rhyming pattern an ABAB rhyming pattern. Contextually do bear in mind that William Blake was a radical romantic poet who questioned church teachings and believed in the French Revolution so he was hinting in this poem that perhaps the UK and London when we think about the monarchy needed its own similar revolution. Now the first quotation to remember is marks of weakness marks of woe. Now this is really a good quote to remember because you can talk about repetition which is present in this repetition of marks you have alliteration and you also have the semantic field of suffering weakness and woe. The second quote to remember is curse ellipses blites with plagues the marriage hearse and of course this one you have rhyming couplet curse at the end of the previous line and it rhymes with hearse you have oxymoron marriage hearse and assonance of eye. The third poem in this collection is a prelude by Wordsworth. Now in terms of structure it's written in one stanza and it's a dramatic monologue now contextually. Wordsworth himself again much like Shelly and Blake was a romantic poet from the Lake District and this is a semi-autobiographical poem published after his death. The first quotation to remember and to memorise is she was an elf in Penance lustily. Now in this quotation you want to focus on firstly sonification of the boat, secondly metaphor, thirdly Sezura and the fourth thing is Anjanmon after lustily. The second quote to memorise for this poem is the horizons bound a huge peak black and huge. Here you have Sezura after bound as well as peak. You have repetition as well as alliteration. Now for the third for the next poem rather in this collection my last touches by Robert Browning. Firstly remember that the structure is it's written in one stanza and it's a dramatic monologue and contextually it's based on the Italian Duke Alfonso the Italian Duke of Ferrara in Italy whose wife died in very suspicious circumstances. Now the first quotation to memorise is paint ellipsis faint and then the next line and of course hair after a forward slash because there is no quotation as Sonjanmon then half flush that dies along her throat. So this quotation is paint ellipsis faint half flush that dies along her throat. In terms of word level analysis focus on the fact that you have the rhyming couplet. So paint and faint you have Sonjanmon and also of course you've got death imagery dies. The second quotation to remember for this poem is I gave commands then all smiles stop together. Now in terms of technique you want to focus on the sibilance alliteration the euphemism and euphemism is a polite way to refer to something which is terrible in this instance it's death. All smiles stop together is a polite way of saying that he basically had his Duchess killed and finally the assonance of E in this quotation. Now the next poem in this collection the charge of the light beget by Lord Alfred Tennyson. Now structurally this poem is written in six stanzas and contextually you want to remember that this poem is a tribute to the men who died in the battle of Balaclava in 1854 which was part of the Crimean War. The first quote to remember is into the Valley of Death now firstly this is a Psalm 23 reference yeah I'll walk through the valley of the shadow of death in the Bible. The second element for this quotation to remember is the repetition in three stanzas so the into the Valley of Death is repeated three times within the poem moreover you've got Anjanman at the end of death and of course assonance of E. The second quotation to memorize is Canon to the right of them Canon to the left of them Canon behind them now for this quotation you want to focus on repetition you also have alliteration and you have violent imagery the cannons which are going to of course kill these men. Now the next poem in the collection is Exposure and this is of course by Wilfred Owen remember structurally it's written in eight stanzas and contextually Wilfred Owen was a war poet and he of course died during the First World War and this poem itself was written in the trenches of World War I not long before he was killed in battle. The first quotation to remember is Merciless Iced East Winds that Knife and the techniques remember the word level analysis is you've got personification in this quotation so of course the winds are personified you have Anjanman at the end of Knife and Sibilance Sounds of S. The second quotation is slowly a Ghost Strike Home colon glimpsing the sunk fires glows now here you have metaphor so he's describing the men metaphorically as ghosts you've got Sezira after drag home and of course alliteration. Now the next poem in the collection is Storm on the Island by Seamus Haney and here you have it's written in one stanza in terms of structure. Now contextually do bear in mind that Haney in this poem is recalling his childhood in Northern Ireland and this poem could arguably be an extended metaphor for Northern Ireland's troubles. Now the first quotation to remember is We Are Prepared Colon we build our houses squat here in this quotation you want to remember that there's alliteration used you've got Sezira after prepared and the verb so building being prepared. Now the second quotation is Spits like a tamed cat next line turns savage and of course I put the forward slash to indicate that there's no punctuation after cat meaning firstly in terms of technique you're focusing on structure on Jean-Mont simile like a tamed cat to describe the sea and the third thing is oxymoron. Okay so tame and savage these are opposite words. The next poem in this collection is Bayonet Charge by Ted Hughes and structurally bear in mind that this poem is written in three stanzas and contextually just remember that Hughes's father himself served in and survived the first world war so of course this could be influenced by his father's tale to Hughes. The first quotation to bear in mind and to memorize is bullets smacking the belly out of the air and here word level analysis you want to do is alliteration personification and the assonance of E. Now the second quotation to remember is King on a human dignity etc this listing meaning firstly in terms of structure you've got a syndicate asynaptic listing here you also have the semantic field of patriotism king on a human dignity and the final thing is alliteration. Now the next poem is remains by Simon Armitage structurally remember that this was written in eight stanzas seven of which are quatrains so seven of which are four line stanzas and the final is two line stanzas bear in mind that this poem is based on the account of a British soldier who's supposed to be the narrator who served in perhaps Iraq and they are struggling with post-traumatic stress disorder which is the effects that usually counters and comes after being and serving in a very traumatic situation like a war. Now the two quotes to remember firstly I see every round as it rips through his life and in this instance you want to talk about in terms of word-level analysis alliteration hyperbole and the assonance of I and the second quotation to memorize is when he ends by saying his bloody life in my bloody hands now here you have repetition of course of bloody alliteration but also especially if you're studying Macbeth by Shakespeare hopefully you have picked up on the reference to Lady Macbeth's insanity when she sees out damned spot and of course this links to PTSD he's seen blood on his hands like Lady Macbeth saw spots spots of blood on her hands but of course this blood is an action on his hands it's just showing that he's hallucinating he's experiencing PTSD. The next poem is poppies by Jane Veer now in terms of structure it's written in four stanzas and contextually this poem just bear in mind is it was commissioned by the poet Laureate so the speaker's persona also is a mother now the first quotation to remember and to memorize is all my words next line flattened rolled turned into felt and of course I've put a forward slash there to indicate that this is in the next line but there's no punctuation so there's on Jean Mont that's a structure point the other thing from this quotation to bear in mind is rule of three flattened rolled turned to felt and alliteration now the second quotation to memorize is our trace inscriptions on the wall memorial leaned against it like a wishbone now here you have similarly alliteration and the assonance of eye the next poem is war photographer by caroline duffy now structurally it's written in four stanzas which are cest het remember cest het is a six line stanzer now contextually you should remember that this poem was inspired by duffy so the poet's own friendship with the war photographer and she was really intrigued by the challenges he faced now the first quotations to remember is Belfast bay root non-pen all flesh is grass now there's a rule of three listing capital cities or rather cities that have experienced war bear in mind Belfast is in northern ireland bay root is in lebanon and non-pen is in cambodia and of course it then says all flesh is grass which is a metaphor and you have alliteration of b the second quotation is a hundred agonies in black and white now here what level analysis to focus on is firstly hyperbole a hundred on jambont which is at the end of white and oxymoron black and white now the next poem by empty as darker tissue so bear in mind structurally it's written in ten stanzas nine of which are quatrains four line stanzas and the final is just a single line contextually you could argue that in tears darker looks at the troubles of the model world and she remarks on how nothing is meant to last now in terms of quotations to remember is the first is maps to full stop the sun shines through now here you have caesura after two you also have sibilance sun shines and on jambon after through the second quotation is paper smooth and stroked and thin to be transparent now here you have rule of three smooth stroked thin alliteration as well as assonance of o now the following poem in the collection is emigre now here this poem is written in three stanzas in the context is the poet or rather the author of this poem is very well traveled and she's particularly interested in different cultural identity so she explores this within this poem now the first quotation to remember and to memorize is the once was a country ellipsis are left it as a child now firstly the ellipsis which is in the actual poem in case it's not my own addition that ellipsis is in the poem of course this gives it like a very fairy tale opening secondly you have on jambon at the end of child and also alliteration so bear in mind that this opening and this is taken from the first line of the first stanza it opens and it starts like a fairy tale the second quotation to memorize is my city hides behind me full stop the matter death and the word level now says you want to do here is personification structure is caesura after me and then assonance of e now the next poem in the collection is checking out my history by john a god now here the structure is it's written in ten stanzas and it has refrains almost like a verse and these are written in italics to stand out now contextually bear in mind that john a god he was a guineas british poet he is a guineas british poet and he criticizes in this poem british colonial education now the first quotation to memorize is when the speaker states bandage up my eye with my own history now here you have metaphor which is the person is bandaging the eye with history you've got on john one at the end of history you also have repetition of the someone feeling like they're being bandaged and assonance of e now the second quotation to memorize is them tell me about florence nightingale ellipsis that's my addition but they'll never tell me about mary sequels so firstly bear in mind that there's this parallelism so two parallel figures one white one black so florence nightingale is a very very famous and well remembered white british nurse who revolutionized nursing however mary seacole who was also in the same crime and war at that time who was black Jamaican woman is not remembered but still she did quite a lot for the nursing profession during this time in spite of facing lots of racism so in terms of word level analysis you want to remember for this quotation remember there's repetition you have proper nouns which contrast each other so of course florence nightingale and mary seacole this parallelism as I mentioned and of course finally the assonance of e now the final poem in this collection is kamikaze and bear in mind that it's written in seven stanzas structurally and contextually this poem refers to japanese pilots who flew suicide attacks for japan during world war two and of course these suicide attacks were against the allies u k for instance usa and so on now the first quotation to memorize is fishes flashing silver as the belly swiveled towards the sun now here what level analysis you want to do is the sibilance alliteration assonance of eye and war imagery which is shown through silver so we always associate especially in war silver with bullets now the second quotation to memorize is they treated him as though he no longer existed now here what you want to memorize is there's alliteration there's also enjaman which is at the end of existed there is no punctuation and finally assonance of e so that's all if you found this video useful don't forget we have an extensive english gcc course packed with everything you need to know for the language and
