'Life, its problems, the good and the bad of human experience, are major concerns of Simon Armitage’s poetry\r'

' on that point ar three verses I save chosen to help me discuss and write more or less my dissertation ‘Life , its problems, the salutary and the with child(p) of human experience, are major concerns of Simon Armitages poe testify. They are the Untitled poem â€Å"I am very bformer(a)ed”, â€Å" song” and â€Å"It Aint What You Do, Its What It Does To You”.\r\nâ€Å"Poem” is one of Armitages keep problem poems When You dont remember the career-threatening things a soulfulness has do exclusively the naughtiness things a person has done you remember. This poem has many a(prenominal) lines which start with ‘and which is a sort of list of things this person has done. Also he starts off the poem with â€Å"And if it one Ced and snow c overed the drive” which is like the poem is the certify part of another poem or he has left out the beginning and got to the important part. at that place are three verses describing things h e did. Mostly everything is good things almost him for congressman â€Å"And for his mum he chartered a private nurse” apart from the digest sentence which describes him doing deleterious things for example â€Å"And twice he lifted 10 quid from her purse” (Mother).\r\nThis do the reader but remember the bad things because it was the belong thing the reader remembers roughly him from the whole paragraph. The finale verse is about how people commitd him as a bad person who he was yet once in a while like everyone else in the world. There was one disrespectful part of the poem when he give tongue to â€Å"every week he tipped his wage” and shortly after verbalize â€Å"what he didnt spend he saved” because he would not have naught to save if he spent half on alcohol. I think Armitages poems puts in these sarcastic bits and bad or wrong doings spread over the poem so you are al ship canal reminded he is a bad person nevertheless he is clear ly an average person only people judge you on each the things you do so you should be careful on what you do.\r\nâ€Å"I am very bothered” is a poem of the bad of human experiences. Its about what you do to try to attract attention which has good and bad consequences. Simon Armitage portrays how he feels about his experiences when he looks back on them. He feels very troubled when he remembers a time when he was in school as a child in a science lab. He put a pair of plastic handled cut over a hot Bunsen burner until it was daft and melting slowly and gave it to a female pupil.\r\nWhen she held it close to her fingers he described the scene as â€Å"O the unrivalled stench of branded skin as you …” meaning it was so bad no other bad smell could compete with it and that it left a mark of dull, dark, black, burn plenty skin. There was a burnt ring around one of her fingers and one of her thumbs that were marked for life. He described his jots of this hor rific atrocity by saying â€Å"Dont believe me if I say that was sound my butterfingered way at thirteen, of asking you if you would link up me” butterfingered way meaning not in reality meaning it, not seriously so he means dont believe be if I said I was only joking when I said will you marry me.\r\nFinally, the poem â€Å"It Aint What You Do Its What It does To You” is about human experiences which are mainly good. It starts off with him not have deceased to America with hardly anything but then say he has stand firmd with thieves in Manchester which are both bas experiences in the first verse. In the scrap verse he dialog about only one thing he hasnt done which is gone to the quiet, peaceful Taj Mahal â€Å"padded through Tag Mahal, barefooted”. In the third verse he talks about only one thing he has done. Which is skimmed a flat stones across glum moss on a day so shut up he could hear every sound which is usually unheard of â€Å"hear each set of ripples”. In the fourth verse he starts off with him not have sky dived from an aircraft but he says â€Å"I held the wobbly head of a boy at a day centre, and stroked his fat hands” which has a really big effect on your life to see someone in a bad state. All these examples shown of things done or things he hasnt done means he is saying our experiences effect our demeanour and ways of thinking and makes us more wiser on the things we do. Like In the final verse he describes the feelings of doing all those things inside of us as a â€Å"sense of something else” which I believe its a feeling so out of this world that you have to do it to find out.\r\nAll these poems we have studied show that Simon Armitage thinks deeply about humans and how they react to life experiences. Whether life experiences bring problems or happiness we all have to deal with them in the decently way. For example from the poem ‘Poem the problem of the man only remembered by the b ad points and that man has to deal with that in the right way by defending himself and the people who rate him also have to be careful on what they say about people. We have to try and live through it all without it bringing us down and making us feel miserable. For example ‘The ungentle poem about him very bothered about the girls burnt fingers we have to deal with the fact that it happened and to let it go and get on with our lives. We also have to make sure we dont make wrong decisions only if to make ourselves feel happy and dont care about the others. For example again to the untitled poem Simon should of opinion of the consequences and the pain of others but he didnt he was only seeking attention for himself. Now I believe you now know Simon Armitage poems are based on lifes good and bad experiences.\r\n'
