First of all, we need to continue developing our thoughts on the patterns of language in Plath's poem 'Daddy'.
1. After our discussion, put your ideas about the patterns you were working on last lesson onto a padlet post Link to Padlet Page. Feel free to add images, particularly if you are exploring patterns of images. You can also refer to the shmoop guide here.
Aim to link your points to the themes and ideas presented in the poem: death, oppression, mental illness, patriarchy and female submissiveness, power, authority, betrayal, breakdown of communication, broken relationships, parental relationships.
2. Copy the discussion point given to you onto the padlet page and make a comment on whether you agree with it or not and where there is evidence in the poem to support such an idea.
3. Next, I would like you to start exploring 'Ambulances' by Philip Larkin Ambulances You can write a line by line analysis of the poem, aiming to link your language points to Larkin's ideas about death and his presentation of our relationship with death. If you would like a little more support, you can complete the framework attached here
4. Extension Task: Read this interview with Philip Larkin from The Paris Review Larkin Interview in The Paris Review This will be brilliant reading for anyone who will be writing about Larkin as he discussed his use of poetic form.
