AQA 2011 Named poems only. This acts as a revision rsourse only. Students should have already been taught the poems.

3. Which poems do these pictures relate to and why.

4. Which poems do these pictures relate to and why.

5. This image relates to religion. Religion is a theme in On my first sonne. Ben Johnson thinks that god has taken his son away because he loved him too much.

6. Love is present in all poems apart from Patrolling Barnegat. In the Affliction of Margaret there is love between her and her son and the same thing in On My First Sonne. I love to see the summer shows a different kind of love, I love for nature.

7. This picture relates to On My First Sonne and the affliction of Margaret. Johnson seems ready to say goodbye to his son which contrasts with Margaret's feelings of saying goodbye.

8. This picture relates to parent-child relationships which was a key theme in both On My First Sonne and The Affliction of Margaret.

9. This relates only to The Affliction of Margaret, her son is possibly still alive but missing. Not knowing where her son is, is what I think is hurting her the most.

10. The lack of or the use of punctuation is always something that can be mentioned. OMFS and TAOM is heavily punctuated, breaking up the poem. This could reflect their broken hearts. Rhetorical questions are used in Patrolling Barnegat, perhaps suggesting that he is not sure what he sees or believes. I love to see the summer uses very little punctuation this could be indicative of Clare’s lack of education or perhaps the natural flow of summer.

11. There are hints of supernatural activity in Patrolling Barnegat. “ demoniac laughter” and “ weird forms”

12. Protection: In “I love to see the summer”, Clare implies that summer protects him, especially the willow tree. In “Patrolling Barnegat”, Whitman seems desperate for protection against the supernatural or the storm. In “On My First Sonne” Johnson takes comfort knowing that god is protecting his son.

13. “ Patrolling Barnegat and “I love to see the summer” talk about nature but in completely different ways.

14. Colours such as gold are used when describing a summers day in “ I love to see the summer” Connotations of the word gold are money and happiness. I think Clare is trying to say that money does not make him happy.

15. Match the quote to the poem. The Affliction of Margaret or On My First Sonne or Patrolling Barnegat or I love to see the summer. “ Rest in soft peace” Neglect me! No I suffered long” “ The roar of the gale” “ I like the willow leaning half way o’er”

19. “ I like the willow leaning half way o’er” I love to see the summer This creates an image of protection. It Is as though the willow is protecting the lake and perhaps himself.
