what did the poet want to speak about in the poem Money by William H Davies
Answers
Answer:-
- In these two lines, he thinks that poor people not need to be rich, but much rich people must be poor. It means that the rich people must know the poor life, so when they lost their prosperity it would be fine and can deal with condition. When I had money, money, O! The condition when he is a rich man.
Answer:
When I had money, money, O!
Tell about his past time when he still has much money and rich.
· I knew no joy till I went poor;
When we don’t have money or lost our money, we will realize how important the money, how we waste our money in the past. He knew that he won’t be happy when he don’t have money.
· For many a false man as a friend
In the past he has many friends, but not the real friends. It means that they just be a good friends when they want his money. His happiness with has many friend is untrue, because his money is their friend.
· Came knocking all day at my door.
In the past, the fake friends always come to him for his money.
Then felt I like a child that hold
I think the structure doesn’t matter, because in writing a poem many author doesn’t use correct grammar.
· A trumpet that he must not blow
These first and second lines show that he feels no freedom like a child who cannot blow the trumpet which he held as he pleases. In most cases, if child have a toy in their hand they will played it continuously because they have freedom.
· Because a man is dead; I dared
Not speak to let this false world know.
Like in first and second lines, these third and fourth lines also related. A man in third line maybe interpreted an adult man or a ruler who had set up the people. And then the next line mean that he will let the people in this world realizes itself that so far they do not have any freedom.
