I bought this book when I was in class 8th and had an enormous crush on a guy who liked by then best friend. I loved the book so much that I recommended it to and even passed around my copy to help those who weren’t sure as to what was going on in their lives. Yes, I bought the book. I was 14 then. The book was intended to empower girls to stop waiting for disinterested guys. And it did emancipate the 14years old me from the unending pain! I realized that if a guy liked me, he would make it obvious
Poems- ‘The Teachers’ and ‘In Mrs Tilscher’s Class’ I am going to be comparing two poems, ‘The Teachers’ by Liz Lochhead and ‘In Mrs Tilscher’s Class’ by Carol Ann Duffy. The two poems talk about the same thing, which is teachers, but in different ways and the way that the poems' structures are created for the reader. Both the poems recall parts of their school days and talk about memories of teachers they once had. Carol Ann Duffy talks about her fond memories of a teacher she once had, saying

The poet is reflecting on past events, he is addressing a woman he loved
Is it safe to assume that the choices we make affect our lives? The poems “The Road Not Taken” by Robert Frost and “The Choosing” by Liz Lochhead both deal with the theme of choices and the consequences of choices we make. The poem “The Road Not Taken” is more symbolic (“Two roads diverged in a yellow wood”), metaphorical (“And looked down one as far as I could/to where it bent in the undergrowth”) and it gives the reader some advice for their own choices. “The Choosing” is written more with
‘The Choosing’ and ‘In Mrs Tilscher’s Class’ are both poems that revolve around the theme of growing up. Both Carol Ann Duffy and Liz Lochhead present growing up in a thoughtful manner, the speakers in these two poems seem to be neither upset nor ecstatic about growing up. The speakers were in the same position in that they appeared to not have any power over their own lives; the speaker in ‘The Choosing’ did not make the decision to be an academic, Mary didn’t have the choice to be a scholar, unlike
