The Use of Force by William Carlos Williams

The Use of Force 
(William Carlos Williams)
The main idea in "The Use of Force" by William Carlos Williams is that the use of force itself, no matter how morally good the purpose, corrupts the user. The story starts out portraying the narrator as an admirable person, a hard-working country doctor concerned about his patients. Due to the diphtheria outbreak at the local school, he is very concerned about the young girl, Mathilda Olson. He describes the child as attractive but somewhat hostile to him or suspicious of him, looking at him with "cold, steady eyes."

A Sindhi Woman by Jan Stallworthy

This poem is a tribute to a working woman. Work creates rhythm in life. Work keeps a person strong and vigilant. An idle person will soon decay. This poem also portrays realistically the slums of Karachi in a few works. The poet praises and appreciates the working woman who has practically turned her work into an art. The woman walks softly with the delicacy and rhythm of a dancer’s feet.

In the Street of the Fruit Stalls by Jan Stallworthy


This is a symbolic poem. The world is threatened with war, misery and poverty. But all these have failed to crush man’s love for pleasure. Children enjoy the sweet spray of the juice forgetting all about the misery they live in.

O Where are you Going? by W.H. Auden

O Where are you Going? by W.H. Auden
Part of the anthology of unit for English Literature A level, 'O Where Are You Going' is a short poem by Auden  which is attempts to echo throughout time. 
The poem is a conversational between two people. The reader (being us) asks the 'rider' many questions with fears and tension building up. All questions are answered at the end where the 'rider' runs away leaving us in an attempt to confront our fears. An inspirational read, this poem can be interpreted many different ways (comment below with your interpretations!). Another interpretation is of a mother who is finding it difficult to let her child go. She portrays the world as a place full of fearfulness making child want to stay with the mother. However, the child confronts his fear of the world and leaves his mother at the end. There is no right or wrong answer to interpretation just as long as you can back it up with evidence from the poem!

The Man Who was a Hospital by Jerome K. Jerome

The Man Who was a Hospital" is an example of Jerome’s fine humour. He exaggerates but the story is based upon sound observation of human behaviour. Many persons with a little knowledge of diseases and their symptoms think that they are suffering from such diseases.
