- Detailed analysis by Claire’s Notes of ‘A Consumer’s Report’ by Peter Porter
Cambridge iGCSE: Songs of Ourselves Volume 4
My poetry videos all have the same structure: I start by putting the poem into its historical and biographical context where this enhances its understanding and give a short summary of the poem itself; I then look at the poem in its entirety, picking out structural features, such as metre (rhythm), any rhyming and patterns in language which the poet uses; I finish by going through the poem on a line-by-line basis, giving definitions of words and offering an interpretation of the poet’s words with justification. Most of the terminology I use (in green) is provided with a definition below, so even if you haven’t come across it before, you should still be able to understand the points I am making.

good luck for tuesday everyone!!! (cramming my revision right now haha, thank you for the videos they've helped a lot this past year!)
best of luck
Good luck!!
Sameee omgg
Yeah good luck
Thank you! I hope everyone did well! I was thinking of you all on Tuesday.
wow this gave me a completely new perspective of the poem, thank you!!
Thank you!
I think, the competitive product should be the afterlife. It goes in line with 'multiple and confusing instructions'. And basically, the 'competitive product' should be something better than the actual, like in religion - you suffer in life but by following the rules, you'll earn an eternal life in heaven... I wouldn't call death a competitive product actually )))
Very helpful, thanks.
You're welcome!
These analysises are so helpful TT im relying on this rn
literally same
Thank you! I hope you did well!

Helpful , thank you
You're welcome!
The way I know this poem will come up just bc I hate it so much 😖😖
I will be so upset if the poems that come up are “He Never Expected Much”, “Away, Melancholy” “Spirit is too Blunt” or “A consumers report”! But I’m absolutely convinced one of them will (I was hoping for Ozymandias ☹). Your videos have helped tons though, so thank you!
Also must thank you for how helpful your channel has been this whole year and last! Thanks so much
Just came to say that we actually got long distance and request to a year! So happy because i got really worried a not so nice one would come up! Thanks so much for all your help- your videos are the reason my grades have been up in literature at all ! Love these videos :)
You are so very welcome!
god
