Summary of the school boy:
William Blake’s “The school boy” is a story from the view of a young boy who is expressing the cause of many children, that school impacts him negatively.
On an ideal morning, the poem begins with the young narrator speaking. He wakes and hears the birds and the “distant huntsman” blowing his “horn.” The second stanza jumps to the mornings he despairs of in which he is forced to leave his peaceful sanctuary and go to school.
The next two stanzas are infused with melodrama and are meant to elicit sympathy with the reader. The boy describes his miserable days at school like a trapped bird that cannot sing, he should not be required to learn in restraints.
The speaker turns to plead with his parents. He tells them that if this continues his “buds” are going to be “nipped”, his joy ripped from him, and the loss of his childhood will result in an unpreparedness for life. He will not be able to last through the real trials of life, or winters as he describes them.
