interesting material for poets. In the work of ONE poet you have studied, examine the
means by which such relationships have been explored.
2. Poets often include in their poems places that evoke strong emotion. In the work of ONE poet you have studied, show how settings in poems have been connected to the presentation of
feelings.
3. There are many strategies by which poets increase the effect of their words and one of those is
the repetition of words, images, sounds and the like. In the work of ONE poet you have
studied, show how various kinds of repetition have allowed poets to heighten their meaning.
4. A famous classical poet has said that the aim of literature is ‘to teach and to delight’. In the work ONE poet you have studied, examine some poems where both of these aims (instruction
