Question

1. What had the poet hoped to gain from the first school?
​

Answer 1

Answer:

What story is this from?

How is the school of the flower children according to the child in the poem?

Ans: The school of the flower children is underground and is conducted in closed doors. It is very strict and disciplined too since according to the child in the poem the flower children are punished if they do not obey their masters.

How the poet has conveyed his feelings that he finds the concept of conventional schooling a difficult way to learn?

Ans: Here the poet has presented an analogy, between offshoots of flower plants preparing underground before they come out and the way children get typically schooled – behind the doors shut – apparently preparing their lessons but longing from within for freedom to reach their mother or to play in a field – disciplined by a master who asks them to stand in a corner if they come out to play early.
