Answers
Answer:
The poem 'somebody's mother is written by Mary dowe Brine. It describes an incident in which young boy helps a frightened old lady to cross the street, when she was being ignored by everyone else. He tells his young friends that he hopes that when his own mother is old and needs help, someone will help her too. If he is not at hand
The rhyme scheme of the stanza 3 and 6 is aabbcc all other stanzas have the rhyme scheme aabb. A figure o speech is inversion. At the crowded crossing she waited long . The correct prose order is "she waited long at crowded crossing".
The poem is written very simple and help us to get a mental picture of the entire incident . It remind us of the saying 'Do unto others as you would have them do unto you'. It shows the compassion of a young boy in a world to busy to care for others. It gives the reader a warm feeling in the heart. My favorite lines are :- "she's somebody's mother boys, you know , For all she's aged , and poor and slow ; and some one , sometime, may lend a hand, to help my mother - you understand?"
I like the poem because of the compassion shown by the young boy and because of its inner meaning that we must help others.
The poem somebody's mother is written by the famous writer Mary Dow brine in which the writer beautifully describes the situation in which a mother goes she also describes about helps that others do sometimes help come from unknown person that is what really in the poem about physical condition of a mother who may look like an aged woman the writer shows some sorrow in this poem along with some joy it's about inspiring others and helping others
