Question

write any two comparisons used in the poem the school boy​

Answer 1

The poet compares the children to caged birds, asking, "How can the bird that is born for joy / Sit in a cage and sing?" In the next stanza, the children are nipped flower buds, or "tender plants are stripped / Of their joy in the springing day, / By sorrow and care's dismay." In using these metaphors, the poet likens the growth of children to the natural return of birds and plants in the summer; education, then, becomes something more problematic than the thing that keeps children inside on a nice day.
