Rosamund Pike

Rosamund Pike said, “When the eyes are on you for the first time, you can 't believe that people aren 't criticizing you,” and after her fantastic acting performance as Amy Dunne in Gone Girl no one should criticize her.

POEM “THE PIKE” BY TED HUGHES: The poem begins with a description of a baby pike, and we are given the impression that right from the very moment of birth this creature is in possession of some pretty chilling characteristics. “…Killers from the egg…” In the first three stanzas, the persona sets the scene and describes the voracious, ruthless nature of this fish.

The Swiss became adept at fighting in formation. A solid square of Pikemen, with the front lines planting their pikes in the ground, presented a bristling

Nature is explored in a number of different ways in ‘Pied Beauty’, ‘Pike’ and ‘Blackberry Picking’. The poems all focus on different sides to nature.

Maintaining an air of superiority and indifference, he had hoped to avoid the attention of others as he made his way to his seat at the great banquet table.
