What about Structure???
You Forgot Structure !

[kennyelkhart]

It's interesting because sonnets are usually romantic poems, but this poem is about Ozymandias' love for power.
Another thing I'd like to add is that Shelley was a political radical, and it's possible that this poem was written as a message to the British parliament which was, at the time, oppressive. Shelley's poem gives a powerful message to them, saying "Nothing lasts forever".

soooo helpful please do this for all the other AQA power and conflict poems

[JasmineLiontamer]

Very helpful! Perhaps do this for the other poems? If you have time of course! Pretty nervous for my exams this May but thanks to your videos I'm aiming for an A!

[EnglishThroughExperience]

Thanks again for sharing. These short videos are great to watch at the beginning of a revision session. They can act as quick recap: you can take notes, reflect and then expand your notes by watching your more detailed videos. So helpful. :)

this is really great! short, simple but contains some really high level analysis of structure.

I wish you did this earlier as my mock went by today oh well it still helped

[noraabou]

Oh Mr Bruff Mr Bruff
Ever since I knew who you were
You have made me cry and laugh
Made me feel like an entrepreneur

Because of you I’m passing my GCSEs
So I can work at Waterloo
And when I get my p’s
You’ll get some too

[jalicorabisa]

Hello mr bruff could you please do Student exemplar series for Romeo and Juliet?

[sambatchelor]

Shout out to mrs Chouhan looking though the comments section deduced wether to show the class this video

[seededbread]

Seeded Bread loves Ozymandias- just like he loves Prophet Bruffs videos

[rlpcsku]

Mr bruff please can you complete the edexcel love and relationships anthology please? I really need your help. I do not want to fail.

[ellieedwards]

Sorry, but where’s the structure part😅is it just the same as form idk

[rachelkavanagh]

Rachel KavanaghI know you're probably not going to see this but I just have a question on "of mice and men" I used a few of your techniques for my homework for example, not writing as if the characters are real people and answereing the question with what Steinbeck used the characters for but my English teacher told me it wouldn't really be the way to write it in an exam and I should focus more on giving my own thoughts instead. Do you have any suggestions on why that is and if I should still answere exam questions the way you say to. I live in Ireland so maybe the exam answered are different.1 day ago•1

Mr Bruff - My English teacher has recommended revising Three poems - Ozymandius Remains and Storm On The Island - Are these the best poems to revise, if not which would be best?
Thanks in advance!

[vithunyac]

Could you do one for the love and relationships cluster please

[bie]

Form: Sonnet- used s a satire to show that Ozymandias loved himself too much
Structure: Archaic and antiquated (old-fashion) way of poetry (14 lines, last 4 alternating)

[topGtjfjf]

you got any poems on power and conflict that have already come up because i have soo many poems to learn and I want to cut off a few poems

[HarshalMandaliya]

hey there Mr bruff could you do a quick analysis of the 15 edexcell poetry.. some you have already done

[rachelkavanagh]

And I also ordered your book but I'm not sure if it is just based on the gcse becuase I'm doing the junior cert? Would your book still help me even if the exam is different?
