Gooseberry Season Simon Armitage

Title What is the significance of the title of the poem? Think about how a gooseberry feels. Think about the colour. How does this relate to the poem?

Read the poem aloud. What tone of voice should be used when reading this poem? The poem is a first person dramatic monologue. What does this mean?

Stanza 1 The poem starts ‘which reminds me’. What does this suggest? What impression to you gain about the man ‘asking for water?

Stanza 2 The father shows great generosity at the beginning of the poem. How does his attitude change in Stanza 2? Give evidence/quotes from the poem.

Stanza 3 Look at the range of sibilance in Stanza 3. How does the sibilance created by ‘smooth, seedless, gooseberry sorbet’ differ from the sibilance used in ‘sucking up’ and ‘sizing up’ and ‘smoking’?

Stanza 4 The middle stanza is different from the rest of the poem – how? What is the speaker saying in this stanza?

Stanza 5 What does the pronoun ‘we’ suggest in this stanza? What strikes you about the description of this murder?

Stanza 6 What verbs in Stanza 6 suggest they think little of the man? What is the effect of the simile?

Stanza 7 The phrase ‘which reminds me’ is repeated from the opening stanza – why? The rhyme ‘season’ and ‘reason’ places an emphasis on the final line. What is the ‘good reason’ mentioned by the speaker?

Structure The poem is written in seven stanzas but the use of enjambment makes it seem like natural speech.
