When I taught you

English
1 answer:
Dovator [93]3 years ago

Lines 21-25 makes all the difference when you look at the theme of the poem which speaks to Children Growing up and eventually leaving home.

Explanation:

The learning how to ride a bicycle is a metaphor for life.

Every other line seems to be talking about her eight-year-old daughter learning how to ride a bicycle. See lines 1-6.

Her surprise is ignited when her daughter starts "pumping away" at the pedals screaming with life. She is surprised to know that the mother-daughter experience as she knows it is over already. See lines 7-10.

But when you read those lines "like a handkerchief waving goodbye" all of a sudden the entire picture, the intended message hits you and you are almost moved to tears when you see from a mothers perspective how ti feels to quickly a daughter grow up and leave home.

Text features include all components of a story or article that are not the main body of text. These include the table of contents, index, glossary, headings, bold words, etc. These features can be helpful if they are concise, related to the content, and clear, or they can be bad if badly organized. <span />
