English Lit: AQA GCSE Poetry - Power & Conflict, topic 17.1.11

## Key Quotations From Tissue (1)

Here are the main quotations you need to remember for your exams:

### “Turned Into Your Skin”

![“Turned Into Your Skin”](https://image-v2.cdn.app.senecalearning.com/2018-03/92c463b3-aaf4-4e06-8d80-182fdf74a1a0/shutterstock_528913507.jpg)

- Paper symbolism
- Paper acting as a metaphor for human life is crystallised here.

### “Paper that lets the light shine through”

![“Paper that lets the light shine through”](https://image-v2.cdn.app.senecalearning.com/2018-03/6dd04306-c8eb-4682-8880-4bdae38b278a/shutterstock_528231733.jpg)

- This line has religious connotations. 
- The line also alludes to how thin and fragile paper (/human power) is.

### “Paper that is thinned by age or touching”

![“Paper that is thinned by age or touching”](https://image-v2.cdn.app.senecalearning.com/2018-03/c2859e60-2f9e-420a-b41c-e01d6c7f15ad/shutterstock_524513815.jpg)

- Language relating to thinness or transparency
- Emphasises fragility

### “Pages smoothed and stroked

![“Pages smoothed and stroked](https://image-v2.cdn.app.senecalearning.com/2018-03/f0f51e79-a4e1-4c51-9f13-d6f452d8b231/shutterstock_234115840.jpg)

- “Pages smoothed and stroked and turned / transparent with attention”.
- As paper, or tissue, acts a symbol for human life, the references to the fragility of paper could also be references to the fragility of human life.

### “the back of the Koran, where a hand

![“the back of the Koran, where a hand](https://image-v2.cdn.app.senecalearning.com/2018-03/c6d60591-b549-4cf8-a1d6-52cd97cf6a22/shutterstock_171645866.jpg)

- “the back of the Koran, where a hand / has written in the names and histories, / who was born to whom, / the height and weight, who / died where and how, on which sepia date.”
- This line emphasises the power of paper in recording history.

## Key Quotations From Tissue (2)

Here are some more quotations important for your exams:

### "Maps too. The sun shines through...

!["Maps too. The sun shines through...](https://image-v2.cdn.app.senecalearning.com/2018-03/8d9e408a-c814-4612-b69e-80eaa6e49ca9/shutterstock_478852408.jpg)

- "Maps too. The sun shines through / their borderlines".
- There is a contrast between “maps” - man’s attempt to make sense of nature - and the far more permanent, natural power of the “sun”. 
- This could also be a reference to conflict, because conflict often arises over land/territory disputes.

### “The daylight shines through capitals and monoliths”

![“The daylight shines through capitals and monoliths”](https://image-v2.cdn.app.senecalearning.com/2018-03/1fe71d9c-9e6a-46ba-b9f5-3d757f76a7ff/shutterstock_1006699495.jpg)

- This natural imagery is contrasted with a description of a manmade structure to highlight how nature will always be more potent than human creations. 
- “capitals and monoliths” are symbolic of government and human power.

### “If buildings were paper, I might

![“If buildings were paper, I might](https://image-v2.cdn.app.senecalearning.com/2018-03/c0e25ee8-4f4d-496e-b51b-f4917c85ab6e/shutterstock_18777754.jpg)

- “If buildings were paper, I might / feel their drift, see how easily / they fall away on a sigh, a shift / in the direction of the wind.”
- The poet invites us to see how temporary and ephemeral (short-lasting) human structures are through asking us to imagine they were made of paper.

### "Paper that lets the light

!["Paper that lets the light](https://image-v2.cdn.app.senecalearning.com/courseImages/physics/1.1.1%20Measuring%20length,%20volume,%20etc.../paper-1849364_640-min.jpg)

- "Paper that lets the light / shine through, this / is what could alter things."
- Dharker uses light imagery to comment on the power of God and religion. 
- If the “light” is a metaphor for God, this could be read as a comment on the power of religion to change things.

### "what was paid by credit card"

!["what was paid by credit card"](https://image-v2.cdn.app.senecalearning.com/2018-03/7c1a1273-e97f-41bb-84c5-5f35600de4f6/shutterstock_503419588.jpg)

-  "what was paid by credit card / might fly our lives like paper kites”. 
- This simile could suggest how humans are dominated and controlled by money.  
- The poet could be suggesting that humans have caused conflict by assigning significance to such things.

### “the marks / that rivers make, roads, / railtracks, mountainfolds”

![“the marks / that rivers make, roads, / railtracks, mountainfolds”](https://image-v2.cdn.app.senecalearning.com/2018-03/2f8f18bb-0ee4-489d-afdd-cac848c62849/shutterstock_111558017.jpg)

- Dharker uses these techniques to comment on human greed for control and power.
- This list highlights the idea that man is determined to control, dominate and make sense of nature.
