describe the journey of the river in the poem where go the boats
Answers
Boats of mine boating. Where will all come home? On goes the river And out past the mill, Away down the valley, Away down the hill. Away down the river, A hundred miles or more, Other little children Shall bring my boats ashore. Situation A young boy is sitting on the bank of a river. He is making boats out of pieces of paper. He puts each boat onto the water and watches as the current carries it downstream and out of sight. What eventually happens to his boats? Do they reach the sea or do they sink in the swirling water? There is no way he can find out. Perhaps downstream there is another boy sitting on the bank of the same river. Perhaps this boy reaches into the water and takes the boats out of the river. The first boy will never know. All he can do is imagine what happens to his paper boats as the river carries them into the future.
