Question

How does the speaker's perspective contrast with colin's?

Answer 1

In the poem "On Turning Ten", the year-old speaker, sheds his thoughts on the realization that he is no longer a youngling. This particular poem is very melancholic which is a contrast to the usual humor of Billy Collin's poetry.

Summary of the Poem "On Turning Ten"

Billy Collin in this poem digs deep into the childhood memories of a 10-year-old, who remember the bliss and magic of childhood and contrasts that with the paid of life that he is now becoming aware of.

Although the adult to whom he speaks reassures him that he still has a lot of years to enjoy his childhood, the melancholic speaker indicates that it is impossible because he now sees the world from a different perspective.
