The poem I have chosen is Small Dragon by Brian Patten.
The poem appeals to children's imagination to tell them about a dragon that the author has found in the forest. The author depicts the dragon. He says that it feds on many things like grass, roots of stars, hazel nut and dandelion. Then the author says the dragon made a nest among the coal not unlike a bird but larger. the author says that if you believed in it he would come hurrying to your house to let you share this wonder. In this way he leans on children's innocense to make them believe.
What I liked about this poem is that in a world in which children are treated like adults and they have to worry about life. In a world in which children are forced to work and they have to make a living, there is this dragon that appears in the forest. Thus the author appeals to the innocense of children to make them believe in a wonderful creature, in a wonderful life.
The quote that I like is
If you believed in it I would come
hurrying to your house to let you share this wonder,
Because that makes me think that there is a dragon, that there is a wonderlful creature in the forest. I just have to believe.
This is an essay about the character, Charley Le Grant.
Charley Le Grant is an ambitious and cunning deputy, who one day, decides to earn a bit of extra money by performing a task that would as well satisfy his thirst for adventure. He discusses the idea of collecting and selling oysters on the narrator after taking a glance of a boat full of them running ashore. He later witnessed the discussion between a constable and a pirate crew, arguing over the possession of the oyster trove. Charley learns of the constable, Mr. Taft's plight and notifies the narrator, "I'm going to interview him about that reward". He volunteers himself and his crew on the quest of retrieving the oysters from the pirates.
Having successfully made a deal, Charley and the narrator use their wits on a plan's design to execute their task. They hire a third member, Nicholas, who aids them in providing knowledge of the pirate island. Having designed the plan, Charley drops his two companions on the island, promising to return later to extract them along with the goods.
After a while, Charley returns to the island and picks up his companions along with a couple of sacks full of oysters. They rowed back home, nimbly dodging gunshots, but manage to fulfill their task triumphantly.
