Having completed your work on Larkin you now need to make the improvements I have suggested. Abi Preston has already done this.
You need to complete your analysis of another text we have studied in class, using the marxist literary lense - Sophia Browning has already done this.
You need to select 6 further Larkin poems from his Whitsun Weddings collection and read these. You then need to select 3 to use with The Cool Store to answer the following question
Larkin's poetry cynically portrays a society in which the proletariat "are deluding themselves" rather than presenting a hopeful picture of a society where "they [go] beyond the limits which society sets for them" To what extent do you agree with this statement? Make close reference to FOUR Larkin poems.
