Presentation transcript:

‘My father thought it bloody queer’ Simon Armitage ‘My father thought it bloody queer’

Title In the title, there is immediate reference to the first person speaker and his northern dialect. What is the effect of the word ‘father’? Why has Armitage used the word ‘queer’?

Tone and Speaker What is the effect of the first person speaker? The speaker is looking back on his youth – how does this contribute towards his tone?

Language What impression do we gain of the speaker in his youth in the opening stanza? How does the father challenge the son’s attempt at individuality?

Language continued… Look at the use of sound in the second stanza: ‘nerve to numb’ and ‘became a wound, and wept’. How does alliteration contribute towards the speaker’s tone?

Language continued… In the final stanza, the tense changes from the past to the present tense. The speaker has clearly grown up: ‘At twenty- nine…’; how does his attitude change?

Language continued… Why does the speaker say ‘it comes as no surprise’? What is the meaning of the simile ‘like a tear’? Why is the final sentence written in italics?

Layout There is no clear rhyme scheme with the exception of ‘hear’ and ‘year’ in the final stanza. What is the effect of this lack of rhyme scheme? Likewise, what is the effect of enjambment?

Personal response to the poem… What is the message within the poem? How is this message thought- provoking? What is the effect upon you, as the reader?
