  4. Topic Sentences and AnalysingQuotes in Stories A. Topic Sentence – The first few lines of a paragraph which introduces the idea. Topic sentence must link with thesis statement. Q. How is Sofia made memorable? Thesis – Sofia is memorable because she is conveyed as a repressed character who has a tragic life. A. Topic – Sofia´s inability to live in the place she loved and felt happier reflects her repression due to the fact that she is forced to stay in London. We see this especially when she remembers her home town. Quote – ¨She looked on to that suburban road, thinking of the village in which she had lived¨.

  5. B. Analysingquotes for Stories B. When you analyze quotes for the stories you must connect them to aspects of characterization, setting, theme or mood. Do not simply summarize what the quote says or copy out words or phrases used in the quote. Quote – ¨She looked on to that suburban road, thinking of the village in which she had lived¨. Here we see Sofia looking out the window wishing she could be back to a place where she felt happier. “Sophie is seen to be looking nostalgically down the road which makes its way to Aldbrickham a place that resembles to Sophy something unrestrictive, the opposite of where she lives.

  6. D. Analyzing poetry verses When analyzing or explaining the effect of poetry verses do not simply repeat words from the actual quote. ¨We lost breath to watch him pass¨ Here we see how the two people lost their breath when the snake passed You must use connotations or synonyns of the words in the quote and how they reflect the ideas of the poem and verse. Here we see how two possible reactions to the snake. Firstly we can infer that they lost breath because they were relieved or perhaps they can been seen to be admiring this ´great, black snake´.

  7. CONCLUSIONS (FOR POEMS AND STORIES) C. Conclusions for poems and stories must state what the poet or writer is saying about our world through their poem/story. C. Sophy is used by Hardy as a typical example of a Victorian woman. Hardy effectively shows how disadvantaged females were during the Victorian age. An age were women confronted issues of inequality and were restricted in doing what they wanted. Finally we can conclude that the poem, ´Pike´ displays Ted Hughes appreciation of the beauty of nature but warns us that it can also have a very dark and at times a very intimidating side.

  8. Below are a list of typical reactions or feelings of our poets.1.First choose at least 3 feelings and link it to a poem where the poet shows this feeling.2. Find a quote from the poem to support your response.3. Finally using the synonym sheet to help you, write an analysis on the quote in how the poet feels. Wordsworth displays his feelings of being impressed by London when he sees the city and feels emotional by its qualities. “A sight so touching in its majesty” Here Wordsworth states that he sees London as something illustrious and the word majesty can also give the impression of nobility using personification to give the feeling of something royal and special.
