Question

The table and the chair summary in 100 words

Answer 1

Answer:

Edward Lear’s ‘The Table and the Chair’ the poet uses clear language and diction in order to tell a fun, image-rich story about two inanimate objects discovery their own abilities. The Table and the Chair are simple characters that learn throughout this poem how taking a chance and trying something new, walking, allowed them to experience something they never thought they could. 

The poem is a fairly straightforward depiction of the Table’s desire to go outside, the Chair’s resistance, and then their discovery of their ability to walk. The two “toddle” on two of their four legs outside to “take the air”. Everyone celebrates this and the poem is quite light-hearted until the two get lost. This is quickly remedied by three small creatures who direct them back home.
