The Whitsun Weddings, Larkin - Core Text



It's time to reawaken your dormant blogs.  As we work through our exam texts, I want you to record your notes so you can revisit these later for revision. 

Type up notes on each poem as we work through the collection. I will be able to check your progress each week, to make sure you are up to date.
 
You should include a brief summary of what the poem is about, as well as commenting on the themes of the poem, and interesting language, form and structure points. You should also include different interpretations of the poems when you can. To really push yourself, try to make reference to existing critical interpretations. If you do this, include a link to the original source, so that you can find it again later.
 
These will become revision notes, so be sure to make them focused and useful for you. Illustrate each post with an image - either something literal from the poem, or something more abstract that helps you to connect with the themes or ideas of the poem.  Or alternatively, you could be even more creative and choose a soundtrack or film a video or embed one that has been already made from You Tube or Prezi that you think really works well to help you understand and remember the poem better.

 
Please do the following posts so far:
