I think Mr Bruff is over-rated and Mr Salles is under-rated

The 6 lines in each of the seven stanzas could reflect the tight structure and regiment of the Japanese army, which contrasts with the way it is written in free-verse with numerous examples of enjambment. This reflects the freedom the pilot wants, and his internal conflict between his personal thoughts and beliefs, and the sense of national duty.

Honestly absolute lifesaver. Haven't done much revision up to now and just watching these few videos it has given me so much confidence . Thank You

"with a flask of water, a samurai sword"...I was kinda unconvinced with the implication of a sibilant weapon signifying peace, instead the caesura shows a clear divide (a conflict even) between the natural purity of water and the human-construct of war. Unlike the "translucent sea", this natural power is contained by a "flask" signifying that the pilot also remains contained- this time in military duty. Yet at the volta of "half way there" both the water and the pilot break free and connect for the first time (emphasised further by the enjambment, of course the opposing technique to caesura).

The 6 stanzas could suggest she loves her father for his bravery. This is strengthened through the reasonably equal line lengths. However there is no rhyme and there is an irregular syllable count. This could suggest that she is torn. She does not know whether to love her father as she naturally would or believe her mother and her country’s ruthless society

[oakwood]

this was the last vid I watched before the exam! and kamikaze came up!! thanks so much

[thomasb]

Fantastic points of reference for my English Literature Paper 2 revision to refresh my knowledge of the poems and learn those key quotes. Thanks Mr. Salles.

[livs]

Amazing idea that he was actually accepted. Definitely will use in my exam, it will different to everyone else’s

[ranaozakca]

Sestets=overbearing and controlling expectations of society

Free verse and lack of rhyme= the soldiers attempt to break free from those restraints

[hafsa]

last poem of the cluster !! thank you so much for these videos they help me so much. your channel changes lives

[isobelshaw]

I think that the rigid structure forced upon the poem and the enjambent between the stanzas suggest that it has been 'broken up', an unnatural way to structure the poem. And this reflects the unnatural way to treat the father

[aditi]

"grandfather's boat" could also be seen as the daughter's grandfather and the father's (soldier's) boat because it's italicised and so is the ending, which is in the daughters pov again!

[keitanadediji]

6 lines per stanza represents tight military control
free verse could show human power to stand for what he believes and go against the 'powerful incantations' of patriotism

i watched this video right before i went to bed. this was my only revision for kamikaze... im so glad i watched this!!! i actually think it went decently well, i compared it with bayonet charge, hopefully i did well enough for a 9!

[oliviaillidge]

Thank you! i never understood this poem too well before now

[lathusan]

Thank u very much! These vids are very useful and covers through everything that I need. :)

[elijahrao]

Thank you Mr salles for your amazing videos. Not only have u hopefully boosted my grades but you have made me more interested in English literature as a subject. I used this poem for the exam talking about the power of love and masculinity. That might have been a bad idea tho :( Still anyways ur tha best

[FatimahAhmed-mv]

Mr Salles would you be able to use these 5 quotations on a question where it asks for the power of nature/identity?

[Jamie-bmem]

I've made notes on all of these 5 quotes poetry videos. I be started memorising the quotes that you have analysed. Is this enough revision for poetry?

[Omotadeee]

For the form this was my interpretation but i dont know if its valid or just a really big stretch by making the most out of nothing. I basically just said that
There are 7 stanzas and each stanza has 6 lines. In japan the number 7 is considered to be a lucky number, they celebrate a new born babies birth 7 days after they are born and when someone dies they are mourned on the 7th day after their death and also on the
7th week after their death. I said that because 7 in japanes culture has to strong contrasting meanings the form of the poem could mirror how the father could also be viewed in two strong contrasting ways the people in japan 1) he is considered to be dead to his family and neighbours but also 2) he could be considered as someone who is bringing in a new culture and tradition to the next generation for the japanes society hence why his choices are seen to be
'muscular and dangerous' because of how brave his devious were. no man has ever done such. I know im really dragging this point out but i honesty have no idea what to say about form !!!
