I Wonder by Jeannie Kirby.

I wonder why the grass is green,


And why the wind is never seen?
The poet questions on why the color of the grass is green but not the other colors. In this world we
have so many colors like blue, yellow and gray. However, we can only see green as the color of the
grass throughout the Earth. The poet also questions on why is the wind cannot be seen. As human, we
can feel things via the sense of touch through contacts made with our skin. Nevertheless, we cannot
see the wind although we can feel it on our skin.
Who taught the birds to build a nest,
And told the trees to take a rest?
In the first line, the poet wonders who gave the birds the knowledge to build such a perfect nest to live
on. This is because; most birds build their own nest for their little ones and for them to live. As
compared to animals, human need to be taught to learn some skills or abilities. The second line shows
the curiosity of the poet on the trees that dont move like other living things.
O, when the moon is not quite around,
Where can the missing bit be found?
We all know that the moon is round in shape. However, sometimes the moon loses its shape and
become half or three quarter of its real shape. The poet is curious on where would the other parts of
the moon have gone to.
Who lights the stars, when they blow out,
And makes the lightning flash about?
The stars always appear at night but disappear as the morning comes. This occurrence makes the poet
to think that there is a person who light up the stars as the night comes and the lightning flash in the
night sky.

Who paints the rainbow in the sky,


And hangs the fluffy clouds so high?
Rainbow is the combination of 7 lines that appears in 7 colors after the rain stops. The poet is curious
on how would the rainbow appear in the sky. Looking at the rainbow also makes the poet to question
about the clouds located up in the sky that looks like they are hanging.
Why is it now, do you suppose,
That Dad wont tell me, if he knows?
The poet is wondering on why his father refuses to explain all the questions above. This is maybe
because of the poet is too small to understand all the consequences that happen naturally in this
world.

Mr. Nobody -Unknown


I know a funny little man,
As quiet as a mouse,
Who does mischief that is done
In everybodys house!
Theres no one ever sees his face, and yet we all agree
That every plate we break was cracked
By Mr. Nobody.
The funny little man mentioned in the poem is a little boy, perhaps three to five years old. This is
because; a child within that age usually does not talk much rather than making things that require
them to learn. However, they often create trouble to people around them. Like in this stanza, there
are cracked plates but people tend not to scold them because they are in the learning process though
people know they do it.

Tis he who always tears our books,


Who leaves the door ajar,
He pulls the buttons from our shirts,
And scatters pins afar;
That squeaking door will always squeak,
For, prithee, dont you see,
We leave the oiling to be done
By Mr. Nobody.
The same thing happen mentioned in this stanza, the child creates another trouble in the house. Some
of the troubles are the books have been torn, the buttons have been pulled out from the shirts and the
pins are scattered. However, seeing that the little boy needs to learn, they leave the squeaking door to
be oiled by the boy for him to learn.
He puts damp wood upon the fire,
That kettles cannot boil;
His are the feet that bring in mud,
And all the carpets soil.
The papers always are mislaid,
Who had them last night but he?
Theres no one tosses them about
But Mr. Nobody.
Within this age also, the child may be doing something that may annoy some other people. The
examples are given in this stanza such as Mr. Nobody puts damp woods upon the fire which causes the
kettle cannot be boiled, bringing the mud into the house and make the carpet soiled, and papers are
mislaid. People know that no one could do such things except for Mr. Nobody.

The fingers marks upon the door

By no one of us are made;


We never leave the blinds unclosed,
To let the curtains fade;
The ink we never spill; the boots
That lying around you see
Are not our boots-they all belong
To Mr. Nobody.
However, though people like Mr. Nobody is quite troubling, they need to be directed and to be taught
the meaning of life. Not to forget they become like that because they are in the process of learning.
Therefore, we as adult or people that are older and already matured must show a good talent for them
to follow the right role model. For example in this stanza, Mr. Nobody does not know the meaning of
privacy which he lets the door and the curtain open, leaving the boots not in the right place and
spilling inks.

The River by Valerie Bloom


The Rivers a wanderer,
A nomad, a tramp,
He doesnt choose one place
To set up his camp.
The poet compared the river to a wanderer because a wanderer does not choose a place to stay for a
long time. Same goes to the river which continues flowing and never stops.
The Rivers a winder,
Through valley and hill
He twists and he turns,
He just cannot be still.
This stanza explains that a river does not rest or stops. Even though there are valleys or hills upfront,
the river will continue flowing by adapting the surface of the Earth.
The Rivers a hoarder,
And he buries down deep
Those little treasures
That he wants to keep.
The poet is comparing a river to a hoarder because when the river flows, it wont stop to evade things
which come across its way. The river will carry all the things with it and bury them in the river bed.
The Rivers a baby,
He gurgles and hums,
And sounds like hes happily
Sucking his thumbs.
In this stanza the river is compared to a baby because a babys voice sometimes can be too loud and

sometimes it can be too slow. Same goes to the river, whenever he goes fast down the stream the
sound is loud and when it comes to a more flat ground, the sound lessen and sometimes it cannot be
heard.
The Rivers a singer,
As he dances along,
The countryside echoes
The notes of his song.
The sixth stanza compares the river to a singer seeing that the rivers movement is significant to the
movement of a singer on the stage. While moving, the river moves with sounds and it is heard to the
countryside.
The Rivers a monster
Hungry and vexed,
Hes gobbled up trees
And hell swallow you next.
The river is said to be a monster because when the water level increases and the speed of the stream is
boosted, it will be a disaster that no one could stop it until it alleviate itself.

Heir Conditioning by M SHANmughalingam.


Grand dad did you breathe
Before air cons were invented
Was it hard staying
Alive without modern inventions?
Grandma werent you flustered
As you fluttered with paper fans?
Could you communicate before
Faxes and long distance calls
Became basic necessities?
In the first stanza, the poet asks his grandparents about the life before the technology arouse and
become the important usage in the world nowadays. He asks his grandfather was it complicated to live
in the life without technology as he refers the technology to the invention of the air cons. Then he asks
his grandmother regarding the condition when she used paper fans to cool herself. He also asks his
grandmother what were the possibilities for them to communicate without faxes and long distance
calls compared to the world nowadays.
Grandchild we lived
Before your age. Because
Of our ignorance,
We did not know
Pollution, stress, traffic jams
Destruction of forests, streams and
Hills
We feared God and nature

Now nature fears you and


Money is your new God.
The second stanza shows the answers given by the poets grandparents that sum up all the questions in
one simple answer. The reason on why they did not experience all the pollution, stress, traffic jams,
and destruction of forests, streams and hills is because of their ignorance; they were lack of knowledge
by that time. His grandparents add, the only thing that they fear is God and nature but now, the nature
turns to fear the entire human race and money is the only obsession to human.

A Fighters Lines by Marzuki Ali.

I am old and worn


And have lost all my strength
Sufferings
And the history of the fight for independence
Have forced sacrifices
That know no name
Or life
The first stanza explains on the condition of the poet who was once a combatant; a retired soldier. He
is unable to fight anymore like he used to because he is old and has lost all the strength that he has
had before. He explains that the war for independence sacrificed many lives.
From the wheelchair of the rest of my days
I, body and energy crushed
See and cannot do much
These times are too big a challenge
For the remnants of my crippled years
The net of deceit spread everywhere
Disturbs me.
In the second stanza, through the word wheelchair we can recognize that the poet is a paralyzed
person. These days are too challenging for him as he is unable to do many things on the wheelchair for
him to spend his spare life. He also includes that he is uncomfortable and disturbed by the dirtiness
played by the people nowadays.
In the name of justice
Wake up and form ranks sons of our ancestors
Be brave
And erect a wall of people
Stand up heirs of our freedom
In the third stanza, the poet urges the youngsters to wake up and unite to speak for their freedom and
continue as what they ancestors had done many years ago.
I have no more voice

It is you now who should speak


The last two lines shows that the poet has already given up and ready to give the responsibility to the
new generation to continue their fight.

Leisure by William Henry Davies

What is this life if, full of care,


We have no time to stand and stare.
The poet asks of how this life would mean if we have the time to take a rest and feel the beauty of
life.
No time to stand beneath the bough
And stare as long as sheep or cows.
Working people nowadays have no time to rest and have some leisure time as they are too busy earning
money for living.
No time to see, when woods we pass,
Where squirrels hide their nuts in grass.
We have no time to experience the fresh air and the excitement of spending time in the jungle
watching how the nature of the Earth works as we are too busy working in the town.
No time to see, in broad daylight.
Streams full of stars, like stars at night.
Since nowadays people work very hard in the daylight, they turn to be tired at night. As a result, they
have no time to enjoy the beauty of the night seeing that they need to sleep for their body need to
rest to start working early in the morning the next day.
No time to turn at Beautys glance,
And watch her feet, how they can dance.
We have no time to care about our mothers; how they take care of us and doing the house chores in
order to raise us and to make us live in a happy and comfortable environment.
No time to wait till her mouth can
Enrich that smile her eyes began.
We have no time to even take a look at our mothers to curve a smile again and the eyes that hide all
the pain and suffer in raising us.
A poor life this is, if full of care,
We have no time to stand and stare.

The poet feels that a life without appreciating the nature is seen as a lifeless life because we dont
have the time for our self to care of the beauty of nature.

The poem personified the river as a living object, which has attitudes and wants. The poem also shows
the river as a thing with two natures, good and evil, just like humans. Human can be good and sweet

understanding is the referred back to the poem, as the river is personified to be as what it chooses to be.

communication.
Stanza 2
The poet grandfather is answering back all the poets questions. They have lived before the technologies

according to the religion and appreciate the nature. Nowadays, we destroy the nature and money is
everything to the new generation.

of luxuries because of the advancement in science and technology. However, we have become
materialistic and individualistic. Now, money is our new god. Lives are not simple anymore. Pollutions and
other problems arise because of the luxuries that we are indulging ourselves in.

Background of the writer
Wm. Henry Davies (1871-1940) is to be considered as the poet of the tramps. Born at Newport, Wales in
the UK, Davies came to America from Great Britain and lived the life of a vagabond. One day, as the
result of jumping a train, he lost one of legs. Davies returned to England where he continued to live the
life of a tramp and a peddler. He wrote poetry and eventually, he determined to print his own book and did
so with the little money he earned panhandling. A copy of this first work, ASoul's Destroyer, came into the
hands of George Bernard Shaw; which, in turn, led to the popularization of the poet.

Question 4
Read the text below.
Children of the past spent their time playing outdoor games or staying indoors, pursuing
a hobby or participating in activities such as carrom and monopoly. However, the
introduction of technology and computers has completely transformed the lives of
children today.
Many children are addicted to playing computer games instead of taking part in physical
activities that are beneficial and healthy. Sitting down for long hours in front of the
computer and snacking on junk food might lead to many disadvantages which include
health complications. Among these complications are obesity, sleep problems and
chronic diseases.
It is time something is done to prevent this situation from getting out of hand. Children
should be protected from becoming victims of a situation that may be beyond their
control. Parents and guardians must take the necessary steps to ensure that their
children grow up in a safe and healthy environment. One of the best ways is to
encourage our children to participate in outdoor activities. This could be swimming,
playing tennis, squash or even a team event like football, hockey or cricket.
There are many reasons why we should encourage children to be actively involved in
outdoor activities. Besides making them healthy and preventing chronic diseases,
children will have an excellent opportunity to make new friends. This will help children
develop social skills and racial tolerance. When participating in outdoor activities,
children get the opportunity to mix with other children who may not come from similar
ethnic backgrounds.
As outdoor activities are less structured, children are also able to let their hair down.
Moreover, taking part in outdoor activities is an effective way for them to keep fit. Last
but not least, children will develop self-esteem and a sense of confidence which will help
them survive in the real world.
