Greg and Jeff
Destroying dreams during the daytime, relaxing through the night
“You’ll need this in life” “you’ll use it in life” Jeff thinks that’s right

Jeff Gives information for the future to come
This information full of lies like a bread bun
Greg Works hard through the daytime and worry’s through the night
You’ll need this in life, that’s what they say but Greg knows that’s not right
Greg is given information and a magical “important” sum
Though what’s used from this information? A few measly crumbs
There is lots of Gregs around the globe, though very few speak up
Jeff has lots of information, almost as full as a cup
Sometimes Greg has no idea what to think or do and Apparently Jeff knows best
Though this is wrong, completely wrong it needs to be put to rest
The purpose of my poem is to show the audience a different perspective of teaching environments. My target audience is people who are in “Greg’s” position. An audience who feel that the people who have authority over them are not always correct in their decisions and statements. I believe I met the needs of the target audience by simplifying the situation and showing both views. By putting a name to both perspectives I was really able to show how immoral and corrupt ‘Jeff’ can be. Without these names I think the language used would be more vague and the audience may not have understood the poem to its maximum potential.
The context of the poem requires little to no background knowledge. For example, most of the audience reading the poem may have been in Greg’s position, i.e. not able to speak up and constantly given material and data for no specific reason. These are the people I want my poem to really affect. Again, though I am not implying anything many people who have been in the schooling system may have been in Greg’s “shoes” at some stage. These people are who I want my target audience to be. I want them to know that they are not alone.
In my poem Greg and Jeff I used a variety of poetic techniques, these include but are not limited to, Repetition Alliteration and Rhyme Scheme. The rhyming scheme I used in my poem varies each stanza. The first 2 stanzas include the rhyming scheme of AABB though the last two differ from this, The rhyming scheme of AB is used. Alliteration is briefly used in the first Stanza of the poem: “Destroying dreams during the daytime. . .”. Repetition is also used throughout the whole poem. In the first two stanzas many similar words are used though just the perspective of character is changed Many words are the same though have new meanings as the character has changed. This technique was able to show the parallels between Greg and Jeff. These techniques were used to emphasise my belief and reinforce the meaning and structural pattern of the poem.
Overall the writing experience and outcome of the poem worked very well and I thoroughly enjoyed the whole process. From thinking of something to write about to developing my first few lines I thoroughly enjoyed the progression. Luckily I was able to find something that I believed in and felt that I could write a very insightful poem from it. This powered me to continue writing and the words poured onto the paper so to speak. If I did this again I would have probably extended the length of the poem to furthermore continue my poetic techniques. The self-reflection process really made me think about what I as writing and I am glad I used these methods and techniques.
