3. Complete any ONE piece of writing below by filling in the missing information. Consult the relevant revision sections in Unit 8 while you do the task.

A. “Love your enemy” is written by Yusef Iman. It belongs to a genre of poetry called “Protest poetry”. In this poem, the writer expresses his anger and protest at the fate of the descendants of the black slaves and exposes the hypocrisy of injustice. The line “Love your enemy” is repeated 18 times. The repetition drums into us the irony of the situation of the black people.

“ The War Process” is also a protest poem. In it Benjamin Zephaniah comments critically on the failure of the United Nation to control outbreaks of violence around the world. In the poem, he protests against the ineffectiveness of the United Nations to prevent war and violence.

B. The poem “40-love” can be classified as a visual poem. The shape of the poem mimics the net in a game of tennis. The words can be visualized as crossing the net like a tennis ball. By comparing the game of tennis with the condition of middle-aged marriage, the poet is painting a picture

of married life of the middle-aged couples--a married life without intimacy or harmony or passionate love.

The poem “The Wall” is also a visual poem. In this poem, the poet seems to be drawing a negative picture of our way of life, a life walled up in a tiny cell, a life of imprisonment from which we cannot escape, a life hemmed in by cold rules, regulations and laws.

C. 1) Studies serve for delight, for ornament, and for ability. 2) Read not to contradict and confute, nor to believe and take for granted; nor to find talk and discourse; but to weigh and consider. 3) Reading maketh a full man; conference a ready man; and writing an exact man
