London by William Blake

Ever walked through a city and felt overwhelmed by all the suffering around you? That's exactly what Blake captures in this powerful critique of 18th-century London.

Blake uses the word "chartered" to show how everything in London is controlled and owned - even the River Thames. The repetition of "marks" and "every" emphasises how suffering is literally everywhere you look. He hears "mind-forged manacles" - a brilliant metaphor suggesting people are mentally imprisoned by the systems that control them.

The poem attacks three major institutions the Church (which ignores suffering children), the monarchy (responsible for pointless wars), and marriage (corrupted by prostitution and disease). Blake shows how these powerful institutions have failed the people they're supposed to protect.

Key Point The phrase "mind-forged manacles" is crucial - it suggests that people's oppression isn't just physical, but mental. They can't even imagine freedom because the system has trained them not to think for themselves.

Ozymandias by Percy Bysshe Shelley

Think you're powerful enough to last forever? Ozymandias thought so too, and look how that worked out for him.

This sonnet tells the story of a ruined statue in the desert - all that remains of a once-mighty king. The irony is devastating Ozymandias boasted "Look on my works, ye Mighty, and despair!" but now there's literally nothing left except broken stone and endless sand.

Shelley uses brilliant imagery to show how power is temporary. The "shattered visage" and "colossal wreck" emphasise complete destruction, while the "lone and level sands stretch far away" suggests that nature always wins in the end. The king's arrogance is shown through his boastful inscription and "sneer of cold command."

Key Point The poem's structure mirrors its message - we hear the story third-hand (narrator → traveller → sculptor), showing how even the memory of great power fades over time.

Extract from The Prelude by William Wordsworth

Imagine thinking you're in control, then suddenly realising how small and powerless you actually are. That's the life-changing moment Wordsworth captures in this autobiographical poem.

The poem starts with the young Wordsworth stealing a boat on a peaceful summer evening. Initially, nature seems beautiful and welcoming - he describes "sparkling light" on the water. But as he rows further out, a massive mountain peak appears, and everything changes dramatically.

Wordsworth uses powerful personification to make the mountain seem alive and threatening - it "upreared its head" and moved "with voluntary power." This transforms nature from friend to enemy. The experience haunts him for days afterwards, leaving him with "a darkness" and no familiar comfort.

Key Point This poem shows how encounters with natural power can completely change our understanding of ourselves. The mountain becomes a symbol of forces beyond human control, making the poet question his place in the world.

The Charge of the Light Brigade by Alfred Lord Tennyson

Picture riding straight into certain death because someone gave you the wrong orders. That's exactly what happened to 600 brave soldiers during the Crimean War, and Tennyson turns their tragedy into a tribute.

The repetitive rhythm mimics galloping horses, pulling you into the action. Phrases like "Valley of Death" and biblical references suggest these men died for a holy cause, even though their commanders made a terrible mistake. The repetition of "six hundred" becomes heartbreaking as the number gets smaller.

Tennyson doesn't focus on the military blunder - instead, he celebrates the soldiers' courage and obedience. "Theirs not to reason why, / Theirs but to do and die" shows how they followed orders without question, even knowing it meant death. The poem ends by commanding us to "Honour the Light Brigade" - making sure their sacrifice is never forgotten.

Key Point The metaphors "jaws of Death" and "mouth of Hell" make the battle seem like a monster devouring the soldiers, emphasising the horror while still celebrating their bravery.

Exposure by Wilfred Owen

Forget everything you think you know about war being heroic. Owen shows the brutal reality soldiers dying slowly from cold and exhaustion, questioning why they're even there.

The poem's most powerful feature is the repeated line "But nothing happens." This creates bitter irony - while nothing happens militarily, the soldiers are gradually dying from exposure. Owen personifies nature as the real enemy the wind has "merciless iced east winds that knife us" and dawn "attacks" with ranks of grey.

Owen's rhetorical question "What are we doing here?" captures the soldiers' growing disillusionment. They're not dying gloriously in battle, but slowly freezing to death in trenches. The final stanza shows them losing faith in everything - God, love, even the point of fighting.

Key Point Owen served in WWI and died just before it ended, making this poem incredibly authentic. His phrase "mind-forged manacles" echoes Blake, suggesting soldiers are trapped by others' decisions.

Storm on the Island by Seamus Heaney & Bayonet Charge by Ted Hughes

Storm on the Island starts confidently - "We are prepared" - but gradually reveals how powerless humans are against natural forces. Heaney uses oxymorons like "exploding comfortably" to show nature's unpredictable violence, while the metaphor of a "tame cat turned savage" perfectly captures how quickly safety becomes danger.

Bayonet Charge drops you straight into a soldier's terrified mind during battle. Hughes uses enjambment to mirror the soldier's panic and confusion. The powerful image of a hare thrown up by gunfire, "its mouth wide / Open silent," shows how war destroys innocent life.

Both poems show humans overwhelmed by forces beyond their control - whether natural or man-made. The soldier in Bayonet Charge abandons all noble ideals "King,honour,humandignity,etcetera/Droppedlikeluxuries""King, honour, human dignity, etcetera / Dropped like luxuries" just to survive.

Key Point Notice how both poems use sudden shifts in tone - Storm moves from confidence to fear, while Bayonet Charge moves from confusion to desperate survival instinct.

Remains by Simon Armitage & Poppies by Jane Weir

Remains gives you the brutal reality of modern warfare through a soldier's guilt-ridden confession. Armitage uses colloquial language ("some kind of trouble") to show how soldiers distance themselves emotionally from killing, but the final image - "his bloody life in my bloody hands" - reveals the speaker's overwhelming guilt and trauma.

Poppies shows war's impact on families through a mother's eyes as her son leaves for conflict. Weir uses domestic imagery sewingmetaphors,"steeledthesoftening/ofmyface"sewing metaphors, "steeled the softening / of my face" to show how mothers must hide their fear. The symbolism of the poppy connects personal loss to national remembrance.

Both poems explore war's psychological aftermath. The soldier in Remains can't escape his victim's memory, while the mother in Poppies searches desperately for signs her son is safe, listening "hoping to hear / your playground voice."

Key Point These contemporary poems show how conflict's effects last long after fighting ends - through PTSD for soldiers and constant worry for families left behind.

Checking Out Me History by John Agard

Ever felt like your education only told you half the story? Agard's poem is a powerful challenge to Euro-centric education that ignores black history and achievement.

The phonetic spelling ("Dem tell me") recreates Caribbean dialect, asserting cultural identity against standard English. Agard contrasts nursery rhymes and British heroes with ignored figures like Toussaint L'Ouverture (who led the Haitian Revolution) and Mary Seacole (who nursed soldiers in the Crimean War alongside Florence Nightingale).

The metaphor of blindness runs throughout - "Bandage up me eye with me own history" - suggesting how limiting education controls what people can see and understand. But the poem ends empowerically "now I checking out me own history / carving out me identity" shows the speaker taking control of his own learning.

Key Point The alternating stanzas create visual contrast on the page - British history in simple dialect, black history in lyrical, elevated language, showing which stories deserve real respect and attention.

This app has made me feel so much more confident in my exam prep, not only through boosting my own self confidence through the features that allow you to connect with others and feel less alone, but also through the way the app itself is centred around making you feel better. It is easy to navigate, fun to use, and helpful to anyone struggling in absolutely any way.

The app's just great! All I have to do is enter the topic in the search bar and I get the response real fast. I don't have to watch 10 YouTube videos to understand something, so I'm saving my time. Highly recommended!

I know a lot of apps use fake accounts to boost their reviews but this app deserves it all. Originally I was getting 4 in my English exams and this time I got a grade 7. I didn’t even know about this app three days until the exam and it has helped A LOT. Please actually trust me and use it as I’m sure you too will see developments.
