Hey Ignite HSC Team, I was wondering whether the third line "For a journey, and such a long journey" would be classified as anadiplosis or a repetition?

What are the biblical elements of Eliot's "The journey of the magi"?

[@NihouNi]

In Matthew chapter 2, there is the narrative of the Magi coming to Bethlehem to visit Christ Jesus, having followed a star they observed.

What is the Structure/Style of the poem?

[@jeddle]

The poem is a dramatic monologue written in free verse (meaning that it does not use a regular meter or rhyme scheme).

[@chernorwuriejalloh7527]

Okay thanks How about the imagery?

my school tells us not to use critics in our essays so we havent been taught. Obviously i wont do it in trials, but should I adopt it for the HSC- the teacher said its because studnets didnt have enough of their own critical voice that they depended too much on external critics. If so- can you make a video on how to include critics in essays? dO you think its 100% necessary for a Band 6 essy

[@nc375]

that's so dumb why'd they do that to y'all? The rubric requires you guys to have an "informed" understanding of all of Eliot's poetry, and informed as in using critics to make your arguement stronger.

@@AneesaSaadatafro21 ayo dont worry about it they delayed the hsc for all of us students by 2 months so dont be too anxious it's a hard time for all of us. please dont listen to your school that's dumb asf maybe look at more reliable english teachers u know that value critics, they might have some quotes to lend u, and have no reason to refuse since everyone's ability to study has been affected by lockdown.

@@AneesaSaadatafro21 just dont make ur use of critics ur main focus in ur thesis, since it might override ur own interpretation of ts eliot's poems. use them to make ur arguments stronger.

[@borogogedeon9480]

Please i have a concern may you help me with the following questions and answers: (1) What is the subject matter of this poem? (2) Is this a poem of faith, or one of doubt? (3) What evidence makes you think so? (4) What does this poem gain by being told in the first person, instead of in third person? (5) What do you notice about the character as you get to know him?
