ALERT ALERT Make sure you have actually read this poem in its entirety before you watch this!! Seriously, the amount of times I have sat down to study a poem and have missed a really obvious connection simply because I could be bothered to refresh my memory on it beforehand. Read the poem. READ THE POEM. Here, I'll even give you a link to it to so you can't make any more excuses. Mwahaha! https://www.poetryfoundation.org/poem... ALERT FADES AWAY
OK, just realised that evil laugh made it look like I was sending you to virus or something. Ah, you've rumbled me! All we study-video-makers are secretly evil geniuses trying to lure you into debt with our links to poems! Stand and deliver! Your books or your life!
Just kidding, it really is just a boring link to a Robert Frost poem. (a nerd can dream)
Rrrright, now that alert's out the way, can we just bask in how much more space I have to write here than in the channel description? Ahhhh. Whoever invented character limits was clearly not an English student, am I right? Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh.
Sorry, back to business. This video is my analysis of Robert Frost's poem 'After Apple Picking'. If you're anything like me you struggled with this poem initially. Actually that's true of me and all poems... but anyway. In the process of making this powerpoint I grew to really like this one and the message it's trying to communicate. Maybe I'm a pessimist at heart. Or maybe you think the poem means something entirely different to my interpretation - if so, please let me know in the comments! I would looooove to hear it. Remember, there's no "right" in English Lit, there's only "write".
Sorry, I had to.
What else is there? Oh yeah, this was my first powerpoint about a poem so sorry if I sound a bit shy or I'm not really getting into the analysis in the narration. I've never really narrated anything before... But I've made a couple more since this and trust me, I'm improving. Who knew English Lit could teach you public speaking skills?! (Sorry also if it's ridiculously quiet, my microphone sort of sucks. Try using headphones.)
I was inspired to make this, and got a lot of insight into the poem from this awesome video: • After Apple-picking Analysis- A-level... Honestly I get most of my information about these poems online, so yay for the internet! It was a while ago that I studied this, so I can't point you to many specific sites (I will make sure to do so for future poems!) except I do remember using Shmoop. Great site Shmoop. Go show 'em some love: https://www.shmoop.com/after-apple-pi...
So yeah, I guess that's all I have to say. I really hope this video was helpful to you. If you have any questions about it, I'll definitely attempt to answer and we can scratch our heads over the mind-boggling invention that is poetry together. Looking forward to it. ;)
Actually there's one more thing. This video does not have closed captions but if you would like them please don't hesitate to drop me a comment below, and I will definitely add some. I know that many of my fellow readers, writers, students and general nerds are hearing impaired, Deaf, or maybe just are struggling keeping up with my narration. I want to be as inclusive as I can, so seriously, if you want CC, I would be happy to add it. The only reason I haven't already is because making these powerpoints, recording the narration, editing the whole thing, watching it over and uploading take up a lot of my study time and I don't want to pile on top of that if it's not befitting anyone. But, again, if you want them, do not feel guilty for asking! If you a person with a disability you are not a drain on anyone's time or money. You are as worthy as anyone else of the opportunity to listen to some random girl ramble about some dead dude dreaming about apples.
OK, I've wasted enough of your day now. Hope you enjoy the rest of it!
