Answers
Explanation:
The poem is written
by Charles Edward Carryl. It is a
complaint of a camel. First, it
complains about the food given to it by comparing with others. Then, it complains about the place it
sleeps. In the third stanza, it
complains about the home given to it. It
complains about people riding on it and at last it complains about its
looks. This is the very nature of
humans, we never learn to appreciate what we have but we will always keep
complaining by comparing ourselves with others.
In the first stanza,
it compares itself with Canary-birds, parrots and poodles as to what all given
for eating and it says because it can digest anything, no particular diet is
followed.
In the second
stanza, it complains about its sleeping place.
It compares itself with cats, chickens, puppies and oysters which have
particular place to sleep but for camel any place is ok.
In the third stanza,
it complains about the dwelling place.
It compares itself with lamps, coops, kittens and pigs, all of which
have a particular place to live but it has only sand as a dwelling place.
In the fourth
stanza, it complains about how people use it as “beast of burden”. Any amount of weight can be heaped on its
back or any amount of people can ride on it but no one rides on giraffe, ox,
rabbit or fox.
In the last, it
complains about its features. It says
that it is all made of bumps and humps, whereas, the others like snake,
weasels, alligator and lizards have sleek features.
