What is the central idea of this poem? O captain my captain

English
1 answer:
Slav-nsk [51]2 years ago
4 0

The poem is an elegy to the speaker's recently deceased Captain, at once celebrating the safe and successful return of their ship and mourning the loss of its great leader. In the first stanza, the speaker expresses his relief that the ship has reached its home port at last and describes hearing people cheering. Despite the celebrations on land and the successful voyage, the speaker reveals that his Captain's dead body is lying on the deck. In the second stanza, the speaker implores the Captain to "rise up and hear the bells," wishing the dead man could witness the elation. Everyone adored the captain, and the speaker admits that his death feels like a horrible dream. In the final stanza, the speaker juxtaposes his feelings of mourning and pride.

What advice would you give someone who is about to graduate from college and become a teacher?
victus00 [196]

Answer:

Treat each child as an individual and follow the interests of the class. Allow flexibility, creativity and FUN to be part of your classroom. Open windows and don’t impose stereotypical models. Be part of your attitude to students. Learning through fun is a lasting lesson. Spread the LOVE. My comments are probably more applicable to secondary school teachers, but could apply to all new teachers: Every student has a history – don’t assume anything about your students, don’t judge, don’t stereotype. Try not to take things to heart – some students will test you and try to challenge you – they are testing boundaries, not necessarily being personal. Be flexible – if a “teaching / learning” moment occurs, follow it up; if the students are not engaged, try something else. Be passionate and enthusiastic in the classroom – it will be appreciated by students – show that you enjoy being with them. Don’t be afraid to be yourself. Don’t demand respect – earn it.

kobusy [5.1K]
Stout pretty much means strong. When added to the word brave, it's clear that "our hearts" face fear head on, with a strong, unfearing willpower.
