▓▒▒░░Class work░░▒▒▓ / Re: Poetry - Packing for the Future: Instructions
« on: November 23, 2009, 02:33:42 pm »
The theme of the poem is that teenagers are expected to prepare enough before going to travel, especially "thickest socks" and "leather satchel" because they can offer help when teenagers are confronting trouble.
For example, "There may be water. There ma be stones. There may be high places/you cannot go without the hope socks bring you, the way they hold you to the earth" in stanza 2.
Thus, the speaker used imagery words like "water,""stones,""high places,""socks" and "earth" to display that although "water" makes the traveler wet, "stones" lead him or her to feel hurt, and "high places" cause the traveler's "sock" to become flimsy, the traveler still walks on "earth." These imagery words represent that the teenagers, who have decided to travel outside for achieving their dreams, should always insist on their dreams and keep their hope, so that no hardship can make them stop their steps.
Another example is "Take a leather satchel" in line 15.
Hence, the speaker used "leather satchel" to symbolize that the teenagers having lots of hope is not enough. Instead, they also need enough preparation, particularly with their mind.
Last example is "In you bag leave room for sadness, leave room for another language" in line 26 and 27.
Thus, it means that the traveler should prepare enough braveness to face sadness in the future, and to have been taught enough and trained enough.
