I don't think anything in the poem can back up "the poet's father is dead". At best you could say "X suggests that the father is dead".

"No one ever thanked him" suggest death and eternity i.e. It's too late to thank him.

How did people not answer the places part on Mahon like? All of his poems on the course were place centric. Rathlin, Disused Shed, After the Titanic, Antartica.

I did the personal response part of the unseen poetry and I decided that the father was dead as the poem was in the past tense.

Anyone else say that or am I completely off the wall?

I wrote the exact same thing.

Still, I see his/her point... just because it's a male poet it doesn't mean the speaker is male.

turgon

Yeah but its a general assumption.

Going by some of the comments you'd wonder how some people get into the English exam.

Plawless will you just cop on, no one finds you funny. And your actually sad, although you'll probably be an old man before you realize that.

Wrote more of less the same as you for the unseen one Soby.

Overall happy with the paper, thought the pre's were a touch easier though.

I feel kind of sorry for Plawless.
He's like one of those guys you see a film about at about 3am on Network 2. You know, the poor boy, often fighting with his mother and father whos only real way of lightening up is to wander the streets late at night drunk.

Poor guy.

On the unseen poem regarding the father-son relationship, would elements such as the cold, detached words and lack of a regular rhyming scheme be a reason to say that the relationship was strained. No joy or happiness in the creation of it?

I think that's a little bit out there. The mention of work I think was more for the reader to understand the sacrifices he makes for his family, even though he works hard all week he gets up first to warm the house, then shines the poets shoes (for mass). The mention of anger I believe is to show that Love is complicated snd never starightforward, you take the good with the bad.

I like that, more original than the stuff the examiners will be used to correcting...like my answer
If it's well backed up, you can't go wrong!
