Conclusion In Duffy’s ‘Education for Leisure’, the speaker is said to be someone who has left school and is now unemployed. In the second stanza, a parallel to King Lear is drawn: “As flies to wanton boys are we to the gods/ they kill us for their sport”. Thus, as the fly is squashed against the window, the speaker aligns themselves both to “the gods” and with “wanton boys”. Wanton is defined as “(of a cruel or violent action) deliberate or unprovoked”, and the reference to Shakespeare reminds the reader that the violence is done for amusement and fun: “sport”. The fly could also be a way in which the speaker makes him or herself seen by the world: Like the window, he or she feels invisible. Their image is neither reflected nor can they see the window. As the fly is squashed against the window (and killed), the window (speaker) becomes visible. Another reference which Duffy includes is one to the biblical “God”...

...Compare the ways in which Duffy and Pugh write about Education including detailed critical discussions of 2 poems by Duffy and 1 by Pugh Carol Ann Duffy and Sheenah Pugh explore the theme of education in different ways through their poems. This is especially true in Duffy’s ‘Mrs Tilscher’s Class’ as well as in ‘Education for Leisure’ and Pugh’s ‘Geography 1’. In ‘Mrs Tilscher’s Class’, Duffy shows education to be a continual build on knowledge preparing you for the journey of life. She does this by introducing the reader to the innocent and naïve childlike voice trying to get a grasp of the possibilities of life. This is particularly displayed in the first line ‘You could travel up the Blue Nile’. By using the first word of the poem to be in the second person, ‘You’, Duffy is already drawing the reader into the story, as well as beginning to remind them that this character that unfolds is as innocent as they used to be before they were exposed to the world. Duffy also uses the word ‘Blue’ to describe the ’Nile’. By using such a vivid and beautiful colour to describe a river it evokes many possibilities in a child’s mind. As well as this, It also adds to the naivety of the child as the teach is describing this river as pure and beautiful, which in actual fact, the river is likely to be polluted by fumes and rubbish and instead of a striking ‘Blue’ colour, grey and dull. This can be a representation of how children are painted a pure, happy and idealistic view of the world...

...Duffy and Pugh both present their poetry in similar and different ways. In the title of Duffy’s poem ‘whoever she was’ it suggests to be a nostalgic poem of someone without an identity, with the ‘whoever’ suggesting a careless attitude towards the character. Similarly in Pugh’s poem ‘hello’ the title suggests loneliness and the character wanting to create a relationship with someone. Duffy’s ‘whoever she was’ is written predominantly in third person, to create a careless attitude and detach the reader from the character, emphasising the lack of her relationship. However, Duffy uses a confusion of pronouns, ‘she, myself, I’ to exaggerate her confusion over her identity. Pugh’s poem is also written in third person, as we get to hear the onlooker’s views towards the man, emphasising that people don’t really understand that he’s lonely. However Duffy’s poem ‘Mrs Lazarus’ is written in first person, allowing the reader to emphasise and connect more with what is happening throughout the poem, and also Mrs Lazarus’s feelings. Imagery is used in Duffy’s poem to present the uncomfortable memories of the character. ‘Clumsy tongue’ gives the impression that these memories of the past relationship are hurtful to her. The contrasting imagery of ‘six silly ladies torn in half by baby fists’ suggests an abrupt end to the relationship with her children. The innocence of ‘six silly’ massively clashes with ‘torn in half’ to emphasize the idea of the relationship being unfixable, as it was ‘torn’...

...Duffy and Pugh both explore the transition from child to adult and the loss of innocence through knowledge and experience. Duffy’s poems “In Mrs Tickers class” and “Boy” represent both ends of the spectrum, as one describes children naturally progressing and the other shows an adult longing to return to infancy, whereas Pugh’s poem “Sweet 18” describes the “perfection” of unspoilt innocence. Duffy creates a familiar childhood setting in the poem “in Mrs Tilscher’s class” by using language such as “growed” and “chalky” to represent a typical classroom and emphasise the light – heated approach to life that innocent children have. By highlighting the trivial priorities that children have, such as finding “a good gold star” and “carefully” sharpened pencils, Duffy portrays the differences between the pressures and priorities of childhood to those of an adult life. Familiar childhood memories give the reader a feeling of safety, this technique is also used in Duffy’s poem “Boy” with the phase “I put my pyjamas on ….” Which reveals that boy in this poem feels safe and comfortable in his pyjamas as perhaps this brings back treasured childhood memories. The innocence of a childhood, however, is often spoilt, whether through growing knowledge or experience or whether through growing knowledge or experience or whether it is forced upon the child abruptly. Duffy foreshadows the transition with the phase “inky tadpoles changed from commas into exclamation marks” showing a growth...

...Compare how persona's voices are used by poets to make a significant comment on society Poets such as Duffy and Pugh often use their poetry as a medium to make a significant comment on society. Significant comments on society are explored through the three poems: The Dolphins – through the perspective of dolphins, Shooting Stars – in character of a dead Jewish woman (Duffy), and Camera Man – from literally a camera man(Pugh) – comment from a differing persona's, be it through dramatic monologue or second person, on the thematic issue of the unjustified withdrawal of someone/thing's liberty in society. Throughout Duffy's 'The Dolphins' – Duffy presents through a perhaps unconventional, dramatic monologue of a dolphin, the loss of a dolphins freedom after being captivated by humans for their entertainment. The opening stanza of the poem presents us with this idea immediately 'World is what you swim in, or dance, it is simple. /We are in our element but we are not free' – the two lines offer a contradicting view of the life these dolphins have: one one hand, the first line implies that the dolphins are free. The lexical choices 'dance' and 'swim' both imply connotations of freedom; for humans, dancing is often seen as a method to freely express yourself without limitation, and regarded as a means of pursuing or expressing happiness. For dolphins on the other hand, incapable of 'dancing' as such would use swimming as a means of receiving the same feelings; with dolphins...

...Carol Ann Duffy uses her poems to discuss her views on current situations or past historical events. She is able to take such stories and transform them into poetry, in order to create understanding to her readers and also awareness. Duffy writes her poems in such a way because she wants to give the people in her poetry a voice which they never were given before. She writes a lot of poetry about the wives behind powerful men, whose opinions were never shown before. The poems I am going to be discussing have both been taken from one of her booklets ‘Standing Female Nude’, in which I will use to discuss the way Duffy uses her characters to put across her own ideas. I will then be comparing these characters in these poems with another poet called Sheenagh Pugh, another female poet who shares the same views as Duffy. The first poem I will discuss is ‘Standing Female Nude’. This poem discusses the issues of women not voicing their intelligence to men, the main theme in this poem being that the artist Georges Braque, the artist who developed cubism with Picasso, thinks that he is above her. The model is not asked for her opinion on the art and is constantly told to be quiet, her identity not being revealed to us as if it is not important. Duffy wrote this poem to show how women feel being treated in such an awful way and also, she is a strong feminist and believed that the model deserved to have her voice heard. The poem I will be using as comparison is ‘Senesino/Farinelli’. This poem...

...Title: Equality and Inclusion Assignment. Introduction “Children’s early years have been stressed as being fundamentally important to their future development and consequently to society as a whole”, (Early Years Framework, 2009). There are however multiple and diverse childhoods. This report will firstly examine legislation which has been introduced to reduce inequalities and promote social inclusion in relation to early childhood. The second section of this report will critically examine some of the sociological concepts pertaining to poverty, class, health inequalities and the harmful effects of stereotyping and prejudice. The report will also explore some of the factors that can influence and shape children’s identity and multiple identities. The third section of this report will discuss the effectiveness of government policy and how this is translated into practice. The final section will discuss practice which promotes equality and inclusion with reference to a placement task. In conclusion the report will discuss if current legislation, policy and practice is effective in demonstrating an inclusive approach. Legislation The Equality Act (2010) streamlines and strengthens the law and gives individuals greater protection from unfair discrimination and makes it easier for employers and companies to understand their responsibilities. It also sets a new standard for those who provide public services to treat everyone, with dignity and respect. There are nine protected...

Colquitt, Brent A. Scott, and Jeffery A. LePine University of Florida The trust literature distinguishes trustworthiness (the ability, benevolence, and integrity of a trustee) and trust propensity (a dispositional willingness to rely on others) from trust (the intention to accept vulnerability to a trustee based on positive expectations of his or her actions). Although this distinction has clarified some confusion in the literature, it remains unclear (a) which trust antecedents have the strongest relationships with trust and (b) whether trust fully mediates the effects of trustworthiness and trust propensity on behavioral outcomes. Our meta-analysis of 132 independent samples summarized the relationships between the trust variables and both risk taking and job performance (task performance, citizenship behavior, counterproductive behavior). Meta-analytic structural equation modeling supported a partial mediation model wherein trustworthiness and trust propensity explained incremental variance in the behavioral outcomes when trust was controlled. Further analyses revealed that the trustworthiness dimensions also predicted affective commitment, which had unique...

...Fedoroff Agric & Food Secur (2015) 4:11 DOI 10.1186/s40066-015-0031-7 Open Access REVIEW Food in a future of 10 billion Nina V Fedoroff* Abstract Over the past two centuries, the human population has grown sevenfold and the experts anticipate the addition of 2–3 billion more during the twenty-first century. In the present overview, I take a historical glance at how humans supported such extraordinary population growth first through the invention of agriculture and more recently through the rapid deployment of scientific and technological advances in agriculture. I then identify future challenges posed by continued population growth and climate warming on a finite planet. I end by discussing both how we can meet such challenges and what stands in the way. Keywords: Population growth, Agriculture, Domestication, Genetic modification, Technology Background Today we have enough food to meet the world’s needs. Indeed, we have an extraordinary global food system that brings food from all over the planet to consumers who can afford to buy it. The food price spike of 2008 and the resurgence of high food prices in recent years have had little impact on the affluent citizens of the developed world who spend a small fraction of their income on food. By contrast, food prices have a profound impact on the world’s poorest people. Many of them spend half or more of their income on food. During the food price crisis of 2008, there were food riots in more than...
