infoNote
When talking about the theme of the poem, use your notes on 'Imagery' to describe the images in detail. The theme is woven through these images, so you can reuse the material. Just remember to keep referring back to the question – don't get caught up in repeating learned-off material. To get a high mark, answer the question that's in front of you, not the one you prepared for at home!
