The thing is that the Jimmy is the guy that Bob was talking about and that he had sent someone else to go arrest him, because Jimmy didn't want to arrest his friend.

That he saw this as a chance to be free. He knew that at this point he could completely disappear from his parents and society. He took the Virginia plates off the car so that it could not be identified and so that his parents would not be informed. Then he decided to burn all the money he had been given ultimately detaching him from society. He then explored the west for two months, “spellbound by the scale and power of the landscape, thrilled by minor brushes with the law …” (29) This shows that for the first time the only thing that had truly made him happy was solitude and knowing that he was on his own.

However, she now realises that “no hand will save her”, but the poem ends in peace and acceptance, as death will be followed by eternity - “waters that bear me away forever”. The poem contrasts the unthinking impulses of childhood with the reflective appreciation of middle age. Death has been placed in perspective as only one aspect of life and memories and friendship enable people to transcend death. The poetic voice acknowledges the true value of friendship. There are images of change such as Harwood as a child, carefree and confident to a middle aged person with an aging body — “when our bones begin to wear
Elizabeth Jennings presents the relationship between her parents in a contrasting way. The title, ‘One Flesh,’ suggests a couple in the prime of their relationship. However, what we get is something that is quite the opposite – they are ‘lying apart now’, in separate beds. The third word, ‘now,’ suggests that this is something recent, and that before her parents were extremely close, and instead of dreaming of the past – ‘She like a girl dreaming of childhood’ – or occupying themselves with false pursuits – ‘the book he holds unread’ – they had a passionate relationship, ‘Whose fire from which I [Elizabeth Jennings] came.’ The ‘shadows overhead’ suggest that perhaps all the colour has been drained from the relationship, and the use of religious words in the second stanza – ‘confession’ and ‘Chastity’ – suggests that the only reason they are still together is because they made vows, and they intend to keep them, however unhappy they become. This is reinforced by the rhyme scheme in the first two stanzas, ending both times with a rhyming couplet, as though there is some stern bond holding it together.
In her poem entitled 'Anne Hathaway', Carol Ann Duffy adopts the persona of Shakespeare's widow. The introductory quote from Shakespeare's will 'Item I gyve unto my wife my second best bed' reminds us that Shakespeare's best bed was reserved for guests, and that Anne inherited the one that she and her husband slept in. This bed becomes the focus of the fourteen-line poem. In the opening two lines, Duffy uses a metaphor to express the magic of the bed in which Shakespeare made love to Anne: it was 'a spinning world / of forests, castles, torchlight, clifftops, seas'. More metaphors follow in lines three and four as Anne Hathaway recalls their lovemaking; she expresses the notion that Shakespeare would 'dive for pearls', and she describes the sweet words he said to her as 'shooting stars' that landed on her lips when he kissed her.
