Sir I only studied 19 poems I really nervous about Friday . I have been preparing myself watching KZbin videos as many as I can especially your videos. I am leaving it in God's hands. Thank you sir for everything 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏

[@AdamWebbCSEC]

You're doing a great job I'm sure. If you've already studied 19 poems then you only have one left! How are you with the prose and drama sections?

[@kristysarah302]

@@AdamWebbCSEC Finished with Tjean and his brothers and almost with the stories one more left

[@AdamWebbCSEC]

@@kristysarah302 Sounds like you're almost 100% ready. What poem do you have left?

[@kristysarah302]

@@AdamWebbCSEC A stone's throw I don't understand . I watched your videos not quite understanding 😔

[@AdamWebbCSEC]

@@kristysarah302 Ah, I see. Do you know the Bible story it's based on? Read John 8:1-11. The poem is this same story with a few differences. We see the mob of "righteous" men abusing their power and judging the adulteress for her sin, but of course they are just being hypocritical as we know. So the poem is dealing with hypocrisy as well as gender issues (we see that the men have power over the woman). Have you watched the video in which I write an essay on this poem? Make sure to check that out. If you still have questions after that, just send me an email!

[@faithadonis1439]

Thanks, sir for doing an analysis of the poem. I recently started to watch two of your vids per day to help me with my revision.

[@AdamWebbCSEC]

That's excellent! Thanks for watching the videos. Good luck to you as you prepare for your exams.

[@Strangelove20]

Your channel is a boon. Just saying that. I'm not even a student. It is highly impressive how you keep your eyes trained on the camera as you speak. I would gladly watch more analyses by you.

[@AdamWebbCSEC]

Wow, thank you! I really appreciate that :)

[@mackayla8884]

Your analysis of the poems are always on point and thorough. I particularly enjoyed this analysis of this poem and the many perspectives that were given. While listening your analysis of Stanza 2 , line 1, I noticed also that another annotation of the way in which the words ' Gas GAS' are written can be made. If observed, the second "GAS" is written quite smaller in the World of Poetry book, than the first "Gas". This can also showcase how much the words spoken, though shouted, hence the use of all capital letters, are actually drowned by the noise of the explosives as they get louder and more intimidating. Always appreciative of the time taken to produce these quality analyses. Keep up the good work as always !

[@AdamWebbCSEC]

Thanks for your insight! That's a really cool detail you just touched on. I don't have a World of Poetry so I didn't know about that font choice. Fascinating!

[@AdamWebbCSEC]

Respec! Thanks for watching. Glad the video helped.

[@ClearandHealthyBoundaries]

Thank you Sir for such a thorough and stellar analysis of this poem. I did it when I read for my Literatures in English AA. I took me back to a time that I enjoyed so much with like-minded colleagues and an outstanding lecturer. Our classes were 3 hrs long and I used glance at my ⌚ afraid the time was going by too quickly. Now, I pursuing becoming an English A/B teacher and I'm familiarising g myself with the syllabus texts etc. Your work truly helps. I also love the effort put into the cinematic editing and narration of videos. God bless you!

[@AdamWebbCSEC]

Thanks for watching the videos! I'm happy to see that you are pursuing English and lit at that level. Seeing that you're already familiarizing yourself with the poems, I can tell you will be a diligent teacher.

[@rottenguava4671]

Immaculate piece of art ''Sire Scroll Bearer ", if only it came on the paper mann ! Irony runs through the veins of the poem's title.

[@AdamWebbCSEC]

Hahaha! Keep this poem in the depths of your mind.

[@sweets729]

This video is more than helpful . I wish it was longer cause i was so excited watching it and simultaneously I felt so bad its like a movie played out in my mind❤😢🎉🎉😢

[@AdamWebbCSEC]

Oh wow, that's amazing to hear! This poem is definitely like movie.

[@EducatorsMotivate]

Hello Sir. We appreciate your work.

[@AdamWebbCSEC]

Thank you, that is always encouraging to hear. And I certainly appreciate the opportunity to work with teachers like yourself.

[@lakeishabobb-blackman4324]

Sir, for your line 8 of the poem, in the world of poetry they have " of tired, outstripped Five-Nine that dropped behind" Nevertheless, great analysis

[@AdamWebbCSEC]

Thanks for pointing that out. Line 8 has a couple of different versions. Somehow I thought CSEC used this version. Anyhow the outstripped Five-Nines are just referring to the artillery shells used in the gas attack.

[@laetitiarogers938]

goodnight sir...just to confirm when im writing my essays im suppose to go with one point of view right ? like how you gave two different povs for certain lines in the poem should i do the same?

[@AdamWebbCSEC]

You will work with points that support the claim or assertion you are making. I analyze multiple viewpoints in the videos but your essay will be focused on defending your specific perspective on something. Check out my sample essays. I have vids on those too.

[@esther-mariejoseph9335]

Hi Sir, I understand that it's been a year and you've answered this question at least twice, however my book has "Of tired, outstripped Five Nines that dropped behind" and I would like to add my views to it in confirmation that I am on the right path. "Of gas shells dropping softly behind" I understand you're reasoning that the soldiers may have been so tired they're couldn't hear the shells, however, "Of tired, outstripped Five-Nines that dropped behind" could you also infer that even with the deduction of the soldiers being so tired they couldn't hear the bombs, the word tired is used to emphasize just how exhausting war is? War is such an exhausting experience that even the bombs are tired of being dropped. Also, five nine refers to a system working 99.999 percent, I'm not sure if this was be directly referred to the poem but if so then I was considering for it to be a foreshadowing of the bomb attack in stanza 2, showing that the five-nines would hit their target almost all the time and at least on person would be affected.

[@AdamWebbCSEC]

These are some interesting and very valid ideas. The exhaustion could certainly be on multiple levels. As for the foreshadowing, you are definitely on to something there.

[@esther-mariejoseph9335]

@@AdamWebbCSEC Hi Sir, I hope you have recovered well, I would like the thank you for your feedback, unfortunately this poem did not come on the exam yesterday and instead childhood appeared, thank you so much for your videos on those poems and it helped greatly. Unfortunately, I'm going to harass your soul a bit more regarding literature apologies in advance. The two poems that came yesterday was Little Boy Crying and My Parents regarding fear and intimidation in childhood. I understand that in My Parents the child could have feared the children, however, that was more admiration than anything and with Little Boy Crying, the child resented his father for slapping him, he was crying because he was fustrated and hurt . What do these two poems have to do with intimidated fear?

[@ArriyannaGrant]

Good day sir, could the line "drunk with fatigue" also be a metaphor since they're being compared to drunkards?

[@AdamWebbCSEC]

Definitely!

[@nadejeblake4095]

hey sir, i have a different version

[@AdamWebbCSEC]

I see! I guess the difference is in the artillery line? In that case, it doesn't really change anything.
