°summary of poem - "THE SCHOOL BOY" by William bake |
|
Answer» The SCHOOL Boy" is a POEM about a young boy who is at school during the summer. He can't focus in class because he wants so badly to play outside and enjoy the weather; he feels like a songbird trapped in a cage. TOWARDS the poem's end, the boy wonders how children can grow and thrive if they are not allowed to enjoy the summer.Explanation: The speaker describes his love of summer mornings: waking up to hear the birds singing and the distant horn of the huntsman. However, to have to go to school on a summer MORNING turns what should be a joy into something miserable. Under the "cruel eye" of their worn-out teacher, children spend the day sad and bored. The speaker sits lifelessly at his desk, unable to take pleasure in his book or in what he is supposed to be learning. He compares himself to a bird, trapped in the cage that is school. He feels that school on a summer day saps all the youth and happiness from him. He appeals to his parents, saying that if his youth is shortened by such experiences, then he will never be able to enjoy the remainder of his life either. If he is prevented from fully experiencing the joy of childhood, then how sad it will be when he ages and can no longer hope to do so.Hope it helps you!!!Thank You!!!Please MARK me as the brainliest!!! |
