Poem Analysis

Ask me no more:

In the poem "Ask me no more" by Alfred Lord Tennyson the theme is that it is difficult to express feelings also adding that they can be expressed by means of other forms and not just verbally. In the poem we see that someone is asking him to show his feelings by saying so. To this he gives various replies relating to the way in which certain phenomenons occur but he nor the other person can explain it using words and he cannot explain or show his feelings by this method either. In the first stanza he asks the person to witch he is talking to stop asking about his feelings and give the comparison with the phenomenons that occur but cannot be explain verbally. In the second stanza we see that he continues with his problem of answering the question but he gives evidence of his feelings saying that he does not want the other person to die and tries this get the person stop asking, sort of like giving a half answer. In the last stanza he sort of says that they will both die and that anything they say or do will not matter because it will not exist and he has failed to stop them from being able to die as a sort showing over of his feelings and with he finishes his answer to the question.

The poem has stanzas of 5 verses, each of these stanzas has the rhyme pattern of first with forth and second with third. This pattern links these lines and opens and closes the stanza. There is lots of repetition with the line "Ask me no more" repeated at the beginning and end of each stanza and the first one is always followed by a question which gets the reader thinking and sets the theme for the stanza. This repetition fixes these points in the readers mind sort of brainwashing them with point of not asking again. The tone is one of a person bothered by someone and they are trying to get them to go away so it contains a little bit of anger but not much and is more of an exhausted tone,
"But O too fond, when have I answer'd thee? 
Ask me no more."
Here we can see this tone as he uses words of comfort but still there is the felling of an underlying groaning with the repetition of "Ask me no more".

The imagery in the poem is quite easy to find and there is lots used to help the person get across the ideas and the themes of the poem. In first stanza we find this,
"the moon may draw the sea; 
The cloud may stoop from heaven and take the shape, 
With fold to fold, of mountain or of cape"

In the quote we see the description of some natural events that at the time were little understood. The first verse paints the picture of the sea and the tide which is caused by the moon pulling the water with its gravitational force. After this we have the weather and how the clouds cover the land, the valleys and mountains in mysterious ways that were not understood. These images are used to create the feeling that not all can be known, some things remain mystery.

The Kraken:

In "The Kraken" Tennyson uses the image of sea monster that has been written about through history. He uses this image as a metaphor for a mans life, saying that at the begging nobody takes any notice of him and he must fend for him self but later, only at the end of his life, they notice him and then he dies. In most of the poem he says that the beast is sleeping but at the end the beast awakes and this I believe this represents a persons potential in life and how they are noticed by other people. during the first part of their life they are not noticed but as they get to the end of their life they have many friends and people who may admire them, then at the end of life they go past this phase and see the light before they find the meaning of life and then die.

In the poem it is set out in just one stanza of 15 verses. The rhyme in the first 4 verses is alternative but from verse 5 to 8 its first with fourth, second with third. After this the rhyme 9-11-15, 10-14 and 12-13.  In this poem the author uses the story of the life of a sea monster known as the Kraken as a metaphor for life and mankind journey. The tone used is one of mystery shown in this quote,
"Below the thunders of the upper deep,
Far far beneath in the abysmal sea,
His ancient, dreamless, uninvaded sleep".
This shows us the beginning of the journey that the author describes using the introductory description about this sea monster in the deep and dark depths sleeping. Also here is reflected the tone of the poem as the author uses adjectives that describe a mysterious place like "upper deep", "abysmal sea" and then the last line talking about a "dreamless uninvaded sleep". From these descriptions it gives the feeling of  mysterious place in the sea.

There is lots of imagery used in the poem to capture the readers attention and help transmit the message of the poet. He describes this sea monster in the deep, using it as one big metaphor for the life of a man. He not only describes the kraken but also the surrounding and it s home,
"About his shadowy sides: above him swell
Huge sponges of millennial growth and height;
And far away into the sickly light,"

Here the is some imagery that uses different senses, for example in the first verse the word swell stimulates the sense of feeling like when you are in the sea it picks you up moves you around and swells around you. Then it describes the place, saying there is "Huge sponges" and that they are old and tall. Finally it talks of the light calling it sickly. All these images create a feeling that the author uses to get the setting of the poem, It creates the feeling of a place that is dark, cold and lonely which the poet then uses as his metaphor for life.

The poem itself is one big metaphor of the life of man, that he sets of in the depths a lonely lost person but as his life goes on it becomes brighter. As it goes on one day people start to notice him and start to love him but by now it is to late and he dies as he breaks the waters surface.




Flower in the Crannied Wall:

In the poem Tennyson tries to show us the significance of even the smallest of objects in a world that wasdomonated by the industrial revolution, in this case taking a flower in a wall which most people would see as a weed but he questions its importance and says that understanding the flower is key to understanding the world and the creation of the world.

In the first stanza he gives the flower its location in a crainned wall which gives the image of a forgoten insignificant place that has been left and fallen into disrepair. Then in the next stanza he starts by taking the flower from the wall killing it but after this he asks that the flower may seem insignifgicant but if he could understand what it is he would understand God and man. Here he gives the idea tha although the flower may seem like an object that means nothing it is in fact import to understand life and mankind. so the purpose of the poem is to reflect on how we look at the world and comes to the conclusion that all objects are of equal importance.

The poem has one stanza with six verses with a rhyme pattern of 1-5 and 3-4 leaving the last line on its own as such like a finishing statement for the reader to think about. The tone of the poem is one of reflection about the world this is shown mostly at the end of the poem.
"What you are, root and all, all in all, 
I should know what God and man is."

Here we see the last line which leaves the reader with a reflection, saying if he knew all about the flower, although its so small, he would know what God and man is. This being the main theme of the poem the rhyme pattern leaves this line by its self giving it more emphasis. Here also we can see the tone with lots of comas for pauses and the person thinks.

In the poem the image of this insignificant flower is created and its surrounding being all decayed and forgotten.

" Flower in the crannied wall, 
I pluck you out of the crannies, "

Here we see this as the poet says that the wall is full of cracks and holes, then this lonley flower there he plucks it out killing it but its only a flower you may think. After this the author the reflects that no, in fact it is as important as any other object on the earth.


Crossing the Bar:

In the poem the theme is the journey from life to death and the bar symbolizes the barrier separating the 2. When he leaves in his boat that will take him to the other side, setting out on the sea, The tide drags him to the bar. From this he sees that there is no return and asks that there be not sadness when he dies. At the end of the poem he hope to see the creator face to face when he dies.

In the first stanza he sees that the time is right for him to pass from this life this is shown by the sunset which marks the end of the day so he sets out to sea which symbolizes the journey to death. He also asks that it be an easy journey and that the bar is not moaning so  as to make it difficult. In the next stanza the tide is drawing his towards the bar and the is no hope of return so he is on his to death and there is nothing he can do. After this his marks the passing form day to night showing that his passing is getting closer and asks that there be no sadness when he dies after embarking on his journey. Finally he says good bye to the world and hope that he will meet his maker when he has crossed the bar or in other words in the afterlife.

The poem is in 4 stanzas and each stanza contains 4 verses. The rhyme pattern is alternative for all the stanzas with a tone of the telling of a story and reflection.
"Twilight and evening bell,
And after that the dark!
And may there be no sadness of farewell,
When I embark;"
In the quote we can see the rhyme pattern and tone. The tone is shown by the series of events the author talks about, also they reflect about the future shown in the last few lines of the quote.

Imagery is used by the poet to set the scene and describe the journey that he is expecting to take at the end of his life.

" For though from out our bourne of Time and Place
The flood may bear me far,
I hope to see my Pilot face to face
When I have crost the bar."

Here is the imagery at the end of the poem where by the author creates the image of two people face to face where he says he hopes to see his pilot and again the image of sailing across the bar which is one of the main images of the poem representing the barrier between life and death.

The poem is the story of the journey across the bar in a boat which the poet has used as a metaphor for the journey from life to death that will happen to us all. The bar represents some sort of barrier that we must cross to get to the other side, or in other words, death. As in the quote before the 2 last verses tells us that he hopes to see his pilots face after he crosses the bar. The pilot is God the person that create him and after he dies he hopes to see him and this helps us say that the bar is crossing to death.

Duet:

The theme of the poem is about love and how love comes from deep down in a person. It has the structure of question answer at the begging but by the end of the poem it is a conversation between 2 people. These to people I believe to represent the same person having thoughts in his head about love and what he should do about it.

In the question of the first half of the person they ask what the noise is that they can hear saying it may be the wind in the trees but the the other half of the person replies that it is in fact the sea smashing against the cliff. This noise is something that this person feels inside and they are trying to discover what it is possibly the think, love. This could be compared to the times you have "butterflies in your tummy" when a person feels odd because of emotion or an experience. Now the first half again asks a question, if there is a voice coming from the deep like the love rising to the surface they add that it is coming up happy and colourful. The reply is that it is love born in the deep and that it is rising coming with the sunning. this symbolises the warmth that is received with love and the person is feeling this coming. The what seems to be more timid side of the person asks if it is the type of love that came make or break a person saying that love can be good or bad. The more optimistic side reassures the other saying that they, or the person, should embrace this love and use it to live again but the other is not quite sure and says they should banish it from inside. At the end the optimistic side wins saying they should let the love in and repeats the line from above referring to the love as bringing the sun in. Here the author uses the debate of one persons mind to reflect on love and how it manifests its self in a person, saying that the best love is one the brews from deep within the person, reflecting on the good, the bad and unknown.

The poem is one stanza of 20 verses split between 2 speakers which take it in turns to speak. There is no continues rhyme pattern but some of the verses do rhyme with each other. The tone of the poem is a discussion between 2 people or objects.
"1. Is it the wind of the dawn that I hear
in the pine overhead?
2. No; but the voice of the deep as it hollows
the cliffs of the land."

Here we can see this as the first speaker asks a question and the second answers with a different possibility or point of view. This shows the discussion between them and allows for the possibility for it to be a persons  conscious talking inside them about the theme of the poem.

Imagery is important in the poem but not to visualise a seen more to compare with an abstract object such as the theme of the poem, love.
"2. Love that is born of the deep coming
up with the sun from the sea.
1. Love that can shape or can shatter a 
life till the life shall have fled? "

Here the second speaker says that the love is born from the deep coming up with the sun, saying that its warm and helping to describe it using this image of the sun. After this the first speaker asks if it is love that can shape or shatter a life and here the word shatter creates the image of an item breaking into many pieces, possibly a glass or other object that is easy to break. They finish off this with asking if it shatters till the life has fled from the person giving the reader the image of a person from which the life has gone a shell if you like, so the imagery is very powerful in the poem.


In Memoriam 3:

In the poem the idea related to the reader is that fellowship is a servant or worshipper of death which lies. He reflects on his fellowship someone and its effect on him over the years, but now this person has died and the fellowship is cruel. Asking at the end of the poem whether to forget his fellowship or embrace it although it is now cruel as death has taken one half. The poem has stanzas of 4 verses , it also has rhyme which is with the first verse of each stanza and the last the other rhyme being with the 2 middle verses of the stanza. This rhyming creates a sort link between these lines as opposed to each line with the next.

In the first stanza he introduces death as a priestess in the vaults of death this presents some sort of link between the 2 where by fellowship worships death and does it bidding. At the end of the stanza he says that fellowship lies to him where is next stanza her words are that the stars blindly run where the stars are memories that fellowship has given the person and they are now rolling over and over in his mind. After this a call comes from a waste place, somewhere in the mind that is forgotten, a call of a dying star. The dying star is a memory that is becoming more and more lost in his mind, it says that nature is like a ghost that controls everything as she wants and that nature is linked to the memory and is hollow showing that she doesn't care about people or their feelings, she does what she wants. In the final stanza there is a reflection as to whether to let these memories, that are painful to think about, be free in his mind or defy nature and death there delight at seeing him suffer and crush them before they enter his mind.

The poem has 4 stanzas each with 4 verses and the rhyme pattern, as it says above, is 1-4 and 2-3. The tone of the poem is one of sadness and anger towards fellowship that has been hurting the speaker.
"O Sorrow, cruel fellowship,
O Priestess in the vaults of Death,
O sweet and bitter in a breath,
What whispers from thy lying lip? "

In the quote we this tone of sadness with the use of words and punctuation that makes it long and drawn out.  There is also and underlying sense of anger in the tone or well that the way I read it and I'm not sure why, I think its because of the use of language and diction.

We see in the quote above that the author makes fellowship into a person describing them as a "Priestess in the vaults of Death" and also asks "What whispers from thy lying lip?" as if it could speak. This way of expressing fellowship allows people to think about it in a different why to before, allowing them to imagine it as a person as opposed to something abstract. Also in the quote we see that the author uses metaphors to express fellowships parts and methods, for example, where is talks about fellowship as being a follower of death creating a link between the 2 and makes fellowship death's follower.

News Analysis

In news reports on TV they use many different devices to put across the piece of news, add bias and encourage the audience to watch their news program or channel. These can be from the angle of the camera to the sound that the audience hear but how does it differ between a news program or a news channel. To look at the this I am going to take a piece of news from BBC News 24 and  from the News at 10. I will be looking at the camera angles, camera shots and editing among others. In the news program the story is about the riots that affected the Tottenham area of London last year and the news channel story is the last flight of the Enterprise space shuttle on the back of a 747.

First off I will compare the use of camera angles, shots and editing techniques. In the news program it starts off with a medium shot of the reporter with them looking straight at the camera, this gives the audience the impression that they are talking directly to them making it feel more of one to one conversation. Next there is some edited footage from the night of the violence taken from the perspective of the police. This uses a variety of camera angle and shots to give the viewer a feeling of what happened and the scale. After this there is footage from the aftermath  using high and low camera angles giving a view of the scale of destruction and showing its location right in the middle of a highly populated area. Then there is a statement from the metropolitan police witch uses the medium shot at eye level to make it feel as though he is talking to you. After this more aftermath footage using the same techniques continuing with a statement from the local MP. After a little more footage from the night it cuts back to the studio where the reporter introduces the next part of the story which gives the context of the event and how it came to occur. This part mainly contains  interviews or statements from people in the area using the medium shot at eye level with a small narrated clip about the context of the event. The last of this report is they go live to the correspondent at the scene who gives the latest bits on information. In the other news report from the 24 hour news channel it starts with live footage of the space shuttle Enterprise on the back of a 747 as it is flying over Manhattan. This is the footage of the whole news story and uses cuts between cameras in the area to always maintain a view of the shuttle. The shots used are mostly middle and long also using panning and tilting to keep the shuttle in the frame. The angles is nearly always low as it would be difficult to film from the air.

Next I will look at the audio in the footage. First off the news program starts with the reporter introducing the stories of the day with a bold tone. After this she introduces the story in more depth giving context and a summary of what happened. Then we have footage with a voice over commentating on the footage. The interviews and statements of people only includes their voice and the reporters with a small amount of background noise. This is all the audio types in the report. In the news channel report the footage just has the voice over of the reporter gibing some facts and a bit of chit chat with the other people in the studio.

Last I will look at bias in the reports using the above as evidence. In the news program report it appears to be quite a balanced report with lots of information and context of what happened also interview with people from the area and from poorer background. Possibly the footage only being from the police's view gives people only their view of events. In the news channel report it is difficult to find bias as the report only really contains a few facts and the view of the shuttle with point of view trying to be made other than it being big news the end of the shuttle era where as some may thing that it allows the way for better space flight.

In conclusion there is a great difference between a news channel and program. In the news channel the news is happening live and thus it is difficult for the channel to add bias, edit the footage well or have all the context and information. On the other hand in a news program all the stories are planned before hand making it easy to edit clips well, add bias and gather all the information and context on the story allowing for a single short time to give all the information to the audience where as the news channels give the information as  they receive it.

News Analysis

24 hour news channel


Shots and Framing:
They use mostly long and medium shots to show space shuttle on the back of the aircraft as it passes over the city. This also allows the viewer to see famous places over which it passes or places they may know allowing the person to feel a part of the story.

Camera Angles:

It uses mostly low camera angles not to create an effect but just because of the logistics of trying to film it from the air.

Camera Movements:

The camera moves with the shuttle as it passes over the city, using panning and tilting, to keep the audience with the action.

Lighting:
The light was just the natural light at the time which slight is slightly gloomy possibly adding to sadness of the end of the shuttle era.

Editing Techniques:
The only technique is cutting between cameras to keep the shuttle always in view and not a to far a distance.

Sound:
There is background noise of the area where the camera is allowing the viewer to feel closer to the action. Also the presenter gives a voice over with some interesting facts of the shuttle and the era.

Bias:
In this report it is difficult to have bias because there is only footage of the event that is live and the can only be a bias in the mood of the event which is made to be slightly sad because its the end of the shuttle era but this will allow the way for a new age of space flight.



Normal news program


Shots and Framing:
The story starts with the reporter introducing the biggest stories of the day, it uses a medium shot to show the reporters face and area around this give the audience the feeling that they are talking directly to them. Next they cut to clips from the main stories. After this is the first story in detail where the reporter starts by giving the important information with the same shot mentioned above to give the same effect. As the story advances they go over to their correspondent who voices over some footage of the event that uses different shots to show the scale of what happened and the destruction caused. Also they have interviews that use the medium shot to make the audience feel as though they are there in the conversation.

Camera Angles:
In the report they use eye level for anything where they want the audience to fell as though they are in the action or viewing it themselves. Also used are high and low shots to show the scale of the destruction and the area as a whole.

Camera Movements:
The camera pans and tilts to look around at the area when the show the damage or footage from the incident but is always fixed on the person if they are talking to the camera.

Lighting:
The light in the studio is quite high to give the feeling of space but during the other shots from the area and event it is ambient or dark like in the case of footage of the rioting.

Editing Techniques:
They cut between the different parts in a way that takes you from the beginning to the end of the story giving you the context of the story and lots of other information.

Sound:
the sound is of the reporter or one other person. in some place the audio contains background noise like the footage from the night.

Bias:
In this report it puts heavy emphasis on the bad and destruction but does give lots of content and information the back this up. The low and high camera angles make the destruction possibly look bigger as it was confined to one street. This is the use of Dramatisation making things look big but if we think that this is very rare in a modern developed country.

Summary chapter 7

In chapter 7 the the main character, George is forced to go to the medical ward of the camp as the wound he had on his knee had become infected with pus coming out. After he is carried to the ward they operate on his knee making an incision to remove the pus and this was done without anesthetic. He spends one night there and is then transported to a nearby hospital where they care for him and the doctor he met, who was kind, helped heal his wound also making incisions to remove pus without anesthetic. After his cut heals he is sent back to the camp where by he come across some dead bodies and begins to ask questions about the killings. During the whole chapter he tells us that at this point he felt no pain nor feelings  because of the things he had been through. This is why at the end of the chapter we see his indifference to the bodies that are around the camp. Not only is he indifferent but he ask questions like how they were killed.

Fatelessness Quotes

1)In the first quote the author gives a description of how he had to live and in this description we can see that the authorities wanted to hide them away and for them  not to be seen. The tone is one of as if were a normal thing for one to do, be confined to room in a house with the windows blacked out. The atmosphere set is one of a dark manor which is because it was the time when his father was to leave for the labour camp. He says that the cigarette smoke was stinging his eyes and the talking was dying out which add to the atmosphere and the smoke possibly representing the uncertainty there was ahead due to the leaving of his father.

2)The second quote we again see the laws that the authorities had put in place to hide the Jews as they had a curfew of 8pm. In the start of the quote the character talks of a lousy felling that he had and because of this he didn't leave his mother, this the struggle between his mother and father to keep him as the were divorced and a dilemma for him as to whom to be with. we see his mother taking care of him and making sure that he got home  before the curfew showing she cared for him.

Nazi Propaganda

 

What political message(s) are these pictures trying to convey?

They are trying to convince people that the Nazis have the best ideology and politics. This includes that the Jews are bad and that with the Nazis there are benefits such as the Volkswagen car that meant you did not need to be rich to have a car.

What image of Germans are these pictures trying to convey?

They convey the picture of a nation united through one leader, a prosperous nation and a nation that follows the same ideology and has the same ideas.

How do they portray this image? 

The picture shows their leader sowing the seeds for the nation and on the BBC website the heading is "Sower of peace" so this could be a translation of the heading thus trying to show Hitler as a peaceful man and possibly provider for the country.

 What colors are used?

Light colours are used to create a felling of freshness.

How do the people look?

The people either look happy or serious except from the ones about people the Nazis persecuted such as the Jews, these people look unhappy.

What characteristics of these men are similar?

They look mostly serious or important/powerful.

How do the artists convey these characteristics?

In the facial expression and the cloths they are wearing also the facial features such as tidy hair.  

The Holocaust

The Holocaust was the genocide of approximately six million European Jews during World War II, a programme of systematic state-sponsored murder by Nazi Germany, led by Adolf Hitler, throughout Nazi-occupied territory. Of the nine million Jews who had resided in Europe before the Holocaust, approximately two-thirds perished. In particular, over one million Jewish children were killed in the Holocaust, as were approximately two million Jewish women and three million Jewish men. It is seen as the worst atrocity of all time due to the amount of people who were murdered because of their religion. Adolf Hitler also order the persecution and extermination of other races, religions and minority groups.

 

Hitler achieved this through the use of laws and propaganda. These laws removed all of the rights, the citizenship and belongings that they had and simply kept them segregated from the rest of society much like the blacks were segregated in the U.S.A. As the war progressed he decided something needed to be done with the Jews, many plans were thought up including moving them all to Madagascar or another place on the planet. In the end as the war was not going well they opted for the use of concentration camps. In the concentration camps they were either forced to work, maybe dying from this or they were executed directly in the gas chambers and there bodies buried in mass graves.

Quite often in the history of the planet one race has persecuted and dominated another and what Hitler did he must have thought right and correct otherwise it would not have happened. To kill people just because you don't like them can't be allowed to happen otherwise there would nearly no one on the planet because people don't like everyone they meet or know. It would have much better for Hitler to have simply gone with plan to move them away from Europe as the memory and the sadness that people feel connected with the holocaust would be less. In my opinion it was an unnecessary act to have done.  

Refugee Blues

1. As you read in the introduction, the poem was written half a year before the outbreak of World War II. However, the reader can pinpoint the three major protagonists whose paths will cross tragically in the course of the war. Complete the following sentences:
   1. The victims are the… The Jews
   2. The perpetrators are the… The Nazis
   3. The bystanders are the… The rest of the world

2. What particular factors led an individual to be defined as belonging to this or that group?

If the individual was a Jew then they were part of the group of victims. If showed without problem in public that they thought all the Jews were bad and should be killed and also showed other beliefs like the Nazis they were in the group perpetrators with the Nazis. If they didn't show what they thought on the matter and let it go on they were a bystander.

3. Of the three groups, which was the largest? Is their any connection between your answer and the term ‘The Silent Majority’?

The largest group is the bystanders, the rest of the world. They are connected to the term ‘The Silent Majority’ because they did not express their opinions about the matter publicly as many of them disagreed about what was happening.

4. What possible relationships could have developed between the victims and the bystanders?

The victims may feel anger as the bystanders stood by while they were persecuted and treated like dirt. The victims may feel thanks to some of the bystanders who did not stand by completely but helped them in one way or another.  

5. Auden presents different situations in which prohibitions against the victims multiply and effectively turn them into refugees. Identify and list some of these prohibitions. What does it mean to have these things taken away from you?

In the first verse it talks about how they place for them referring to somewhere to live. In the forth verse it says that if they didn't have a passport they were dead according to the government taking away there life.

Any person who moves from there home which could include country, town or house because have been persecuted because of race, social group or political standing amongst others. One can not be a refugee in one's home they must move away first to be a refugee.

8. How can state bureaucracies help refugees or hinder efforts to help?

They may or may not empathise with the person and could be helpful to them or send them in circles. It depends on the culture of the place where the refugee goes and if there is a lot of refugees already there, this decides whether they will help or not.

9. In your opinion, should governments today have the responsibility to take care of refugees in their country?
   Alternatively, what is the role of society in absorbing refugees? Think of schools, sports clubs, the scout movement and other organizations in your country.

I think that the government most try to help them but there must be a positive response from the refugee within a few years. They must try to learn the language if it is different, they must work and they must be comply with the local customs and be respectful in this way they will be respected as well. Schools, sports clubs and other organizations should try to help the person as well but the same response must be seen. The problem comes when there is a great influx of refugees and this should not happen they should distributed across the plant to different places as when there is to many in one place the people living there don't like and so it is bad for everyone.
