Answer:

"THE PLANT"

By: Kate Louise Brown

In the heart of the seed

Burie deep so deep

A dear little plant

Lay fast asleep.

"Wake", said the sunshine

And creep to the light.

"Wake", said the voice

Of the raindrops bright.

The little plant heard

And it rose to see

What a wonderful sight

The outside world might be.

Reading literary selections like poems does not only provide pleasure because of the artistic language it uses. Reading poetry also develops the reader's critical thinking skills. To better understand and interpret the text as well as to appreciate it, the reader must consider or focus on the particular facts or details and later put all together those digested ideas and observations done in each part.

The poem "The Plant" of Kate Louise Brown has the purpose of informing the children of where plants came from and how does it grow, in such a way that the children will be entertained too. The little itself, "The Plant" directly introduce the subject and content of the poem, thus, it wouldn't be hard for a child to know what the poem is all about.

In the first stanza it is stated there that in the center or middle part of the seed which is buried deep in the ground, there is a plant to be that is not yet ready sprout above the ground.

The second stanza tells the essential elements from the environment the seed needed in order to grow and be a plant. Through the use of personification, a figurative language, the child could be able to know that the sunshine which gives light and the raindrops which provide water are needed for the seed to grow and turn to be a plant.

In the third stanza, it shows that the nutrients from the sunlight and water had already penetrated in the seed; hence the seed is now ready to sprout. When the seed came out of the ground, it is already a plant. The seed had become a plant that will grow and be a part of the environment.

Through this narrative, it is easy for a child to comprehend how plants came to be.

Psychologically speaking, teaching children is not that easy. For a teaching-learning process to be effective and efficient, the interest of the child is one of the most important factors to be considered by the teacher.

Even though the poem is in a free verse wherein it doesn't use rhyming words that would catch the listener's ears, yet, it had use poetic language or figures of speech such as personification which had better convey the role of the sun and water in the life cycle of plants. Through the use of image too that appeal to different senses, like hearing and seeing, the child could make a picture in his mind of what or how the events happened in chronological order. Thus, through this images used in the poem the child develops creative thinking wherein he could already draw how plants came to be even without seeing the actual scenario. Its theme is discussion of the nature or environment where a child interacts to different living things.

For this poem the interpretation is base on the meaning of words and phrases as it is used in the text and as it is related in scientific views as well as in the world where living things exist.
