Poem : THE GRUMBLE FAMILY
Poet : Lucy Maud Montgomery
Theme : ‘The Grumble Family’ and their attitude
Outline : pessimistic family - in a complaining street - discontented - dissatisfied - find fault - not fail to grumble - negative attitude
The grumble family is a pessimistic family. It lives in ‘complaining street’. The name of the street is the fittest one. The members of the family are always discontented. Noboby wants to meet them. They are never happy with their lives. They are dissatisfied with everything. They complain about everything. Whatever happens in their lives, they complain about it. Rain or sun, summer or winter, high or humble, they will not fail to grumble.They always growl at others. Even though nothing happens in life, they grumble for it. They don’t have any positive attitude. They find fault at each and everything. They are well known with the name ‘Grumble’. Nobody wants to be with them otherwise they will also get affected by this habit. Thus no one likes the negative attitude of the grumble family.
