Explore how Spender conveys his feelings about his childhood in the poem ‘My Parents’

English
1 answer:
Gre4nikov [31]3 years ago
7 0
Spender's childhood, based on this poem, was lonely and he spent much of his time frightened of the boys in his neighborhood.

The majority of the poem describes these rough boys who held Spender down. He describes their knees on his arms and the way they mocked his lisp. They threw mud at him and were never nice to him.

The beginning of the poem, however, makes clear that his parents kept him away from these kids. As a child, he was therefore lonely and scared.

Looking back on his childhood, the poet expresses sadness that these boys never showed him kindness. The final line shows that as a boy he would have forgiven them if they only smiled -- which they never did.

Match each description to a character from Romeo and Juliet. Friar Laurence Mercutio Lord Capulet Prince Escalus Characters Trai
Helga [31]

The answer is the following:

Friar Laurence: He hopes that the marriage of Romeo and Juliet will end the hatred between the Montagues and the Capulets.

He agrees to marry Romeo and Juliet, and tries to help them to come together through the use of a sleeping potion, which finally determines their fate.

Mercutio: He is disgusted by Romeo’s refusal to fight when challenged and dies cursing the Montagues and Capulets for his fate.

Romeo's close friend, he makes fun of romatic feelings and ends up blaming both families for his death.

Lord Capulet: He is the head of a powerful family. He threatens to disown his only child for rejecting an arranged marriage.

Juliet's father wishes that she marries Paris.

Prince Escalus: He is the ruling authority of Verona. He decides that Romeo will not be executed but only banished for killing Tybalt.

Since he is a friend of Mercutio and Paris, the Prince does not carry out a death sentence againt Romeo, but is concerned with keeping Verona free from violence and disturbance.

Excerpt from “The Raven”
Rufina [12.5K]

Answer:

C. “But the fact is I was napping, and so gently you came rapping, / And so faintly you came tapping, tapping at my chamber door,”

&

C. The rhyme gives the poem an even rhythm and maintains the tension.

Explanation:

1. None of the other options give as much tension as these lines do. The anticipation and reptition of the lines intensify the action of approaching a chamber door.

2. I feel as though the other options don't quite work as well as this one. A rhyme doesnt necessarily make a poem easier to remember, lines that are more 'significant' is just subjective, and each rhyme doesnt necessarily end an idea.
