This poem contrasts the life of a tiger in a zoo with its life in the wild natural habitat. In the zoo, the tiger's freedom is restricted as it is confined to a cage. It acts frustrated and depressed in captivity, ignoring visitors, while in the forest it enjoys supremacy as all other animals fear it. The poem suggests that just as humans value freedom, tigers also prefer their natural wild environment to the confined space of the zoo.

The ball poem
The poem describes a boy who loses his ball into a body of water. He is overcome with grief and stands staring helplessly at the water. While a new ball or money could replace the lost object, it would not replace the memories and feelings the boy had for that ball. The boy is learning an important life lesson - that losses are inevitable and one must find a way to accept them. The ball represents the possessions and relationships people hold dear that will ultimately be lost as life goes on. The boy is experiencing his first taste of responsibility and the ephemerality of life.

Forgotten Language Shel Silverstein
The poem "Forgotten Language" by Shel Silverstein expresses nostalgia for a time when the speaker could understand and communicate with plants and animals.

Irony used in "Ransom of Red Chief"
This document analyzes the situational irony used in the short story "The Ransom of Red Chief" by O. Henry. It provides examples of how the events that actually occur in the story are very different than what the characters expect. The kidnappers Bill and Sam expect kidnapping a boy to be easy, but the boy Red Chief is unbothered and even seems to take charge, naming the kidnappers and making Bill his horse. When they try to return Red Chief and ask for ransom, his father bargains with them and asks them to return the boy at night since the neighbors will be unhappy he is back. The kidnappers grow tired of Red Chief's behavior and want to pay the ransom to be
Once Upon A Time
The poem discusses how society has become disingenuous and superficial. The persona laments that people no longer act with genuine feelings and honesty, but rather put on different faces to suit different situations and social expectations. The persona notes that he too has learned to conform to these behaviors, presenting different personas in different contexts, though he now wishes to return to being authentic. The poem uses the devices of similes, metaphors, and repetition to emphasize how people hide their true selves behind artificial smiles and behaviors.

Tiger in a zoo
The document summarizes a poem about a tiger living in a zoo. It discusses how the tiger belongs in the wild jungle, hunting prey and living freely, rather than being confined to a small cage in the zoo. The tiger paces around angrily in its cage, ignoring visitors, when it should be stalking through tall grass and terrifying villagers near the jungle. At night, the lonely tiger stares at the stars, hearing patrolling cars, wishing for its freedom in the natural habitat rather than its concrete prison. The poem aims to highlight how keeping wild animals in zoos is cruel and deprives them of their natural habitats.
A Tiger in the Zoo
1. Leslie Norris was a famous Welsh poet born in 1921 who published his first poem in 1938 and first book of poetry in 1943, winning several awards for his works before passing away in 2006.
2. The poem contrasts a tiger confined to a zoo cage with how it should be living freely in the jungle, able to stalk and hunt at the water hole without being watched by visitors in the unnatural habitat of captivity.
3. The tiger is angry but quiet in its cage, moving about at night and watching the stars, while the poet imagines how it should be lurking and hunting in the jungle rather than imprisoned.
Animal Poems by Teya Ballenger

Tiger in the Menagerie
The poem describes a tiger that enters a menagerie, or collection of captive wild animals. Overnight, the tiger's stripes become indistinguishable from the bars of its cage. By morning, the tiger has disappeared, leaving behind only a single orange eye. The animals in the menagerie, if able to speak, would cry out in fear upon seeing the tiger. The birds in the aviary fly up in terror, sensing the tiger's presence within.

HOW TO TELL WILD ANIMALS Module 1.pptx
The document provides biographical information about the poet Carolyn Wells and summarizes her humorous poem "How to Tell Wild Animals". The poem suggests dangerous ways to identify wild animals through humor. Each stanza describes an animal such as the Asian lion, Bengal tiger, leopard, bear, hyena, crocodile, and chameleon. Their identifying characteristics are explained in a funny way, such as a lion roaring loudly, a tiger eating someone with black and yellow stripes, or a bear hugging someone tightly. The poem aims to teach about different wild animals through humor and wordplay.
The frog and the nightingale
The poem tells the story of a boastful frog and a nightingale in Bingle Bog. The frog considers himself a great singer, while the nightingale's beautiful song enchants the inhabitants of the bog. The frog grows jealous and tricks the nightingale into thinking he can improve her singing. He exploits her by forcing her to sing constantly. This causes the nightingale to lose her voice and health, until she dies trying to please the frog. The poem is a fable that warns about allowing others to manipulate you and lose your individuality.
A tiger in the zoo
The poem "A Tiger in the Zoo" by Leslie Norris describes the sadness and anger of a tiger kept in confinement in a small zoo cage. The tiger would normally be stalking and hunting in the jungle, but is instead restricted to taking only a few steps in its concrete enclosure. The poem contrasts the tiger's natural habitat and behaviors with the miserable reality of its imprisoned life, ignored by visitors yet unable to sleep due to noise at night. Through the tiger's experience, the poem comments on the cruel practice of keeping wild animals captive for human amusement.
A Tiger in the Zoo
The poem describes the sad plight of a tiger kept in a small zoo cage. It contrasts the tiger's current confined life with how it should be living freely in the jungle. The tiger paces quietly in anger within the few steps of its cage. It longs to lurk in the forest shadows and terrorize villages as is its natural instinct. Instead, it is locked behind bars, its strength imprisoned, ignoring visitors as it stalks its cage. At night, it cannot sleep and stares at the stars, longing for the freedom of the wild. The poem highlights how cruel it is to confine wild animals and deprive them of their natural habitat and behaviors.

The poem describes the suffering of a tiger kept in a zoo. It contrasts the tiger's natural habitat with its confined life in captivity. In the zoo, the tiger is unable to freely stalk and hunt as it would in the jungle. It is deprived of expressing its natural instincts and behavior by being locked in a small cage. The poem suggests that keeping wild animals in zoos is morally wrong, as it harms the animals by denying them their freedom.

- 1. Welcome to the revision stage🤪
- 3. Summary This poem contrasts a tiger in the zoo with the tiger in its natural habitat. The poem moves from the zoo to the jungle, and back again to the zoo. It also provides a contrast in the mood and the environment of a tiger when he is in the zoo and when he is in the forest. In the zoo, his freedom is curtailed. Tiger who is born free, wishes to roams about the forest roaring regally. It enjoys its supremacy, as all the animals are afraid of it. It is thus wildly royal. In the zoo however, it is a trapped animal. It is like a king in fetters, a king without a kingdom, he ignores all those who come to the zoo to see him as entertainment. Like human beings the tiger too loves and values his freedom. The tiger shows his anger, hatred by walking about in rage in the cage. Human progress should not be at the cost of destroying the natural habitats. Here the tiger is bounded by the rules and regulations of the zoo- keeper. It is like a puppet-king!

- 6. The Ball Poem by John Berryman is beautifully describing a boy who has lost his ball. He gave a lesson full of wisdom through the loss, that we must learn to bear the pain associated with the loss. The poet assumes a boy who is playing with a ball. Once the ball bounces out of his control and consequently falls into the water. The boy became sad. The poet feels that no other ball will be sufficient to lessen his sadness. Here, the lost ball stands for the general loss of a human being. The losses may be the loss of personal possession or the death of someone near and dear or due to the separation from the beloved one. As long as there is life, everyone has to bear many types of losses. Therefore we need to learn the way for bearing those losses. This poem successfully describes how we may feel to lose something that we love and grow up eventually without it, as there isn’t any point in wasting our precious time and life grieving about the loss. Summary
- 7. Amanda - Robin Klein -
- 8. Summary The poem Amanda focuses on the upbringing of a teenage girl, named Amanda. It shows us that the greatest wealth a child wants to possess is his/her freedom and they never like constant nagging and unwanted instructions. Poet Robin Klein makes the important point that the children should never be deprived of their freedom. However, it is the parents who are responsible for the proper upbringing of their child. But that should not make the children feel imprisoned. Here her imagination is not given sufficient space, and therefore it is making her annoyed. This annoyance is making her desire even to be an orphan. This continuous annoying was making her moody too much. This poem conveys the moral that children need to be allowed more freedom. Every child wants to enjoy the dreamy and romantic world of his/her childhood, excessive nagging may make them disobedient and hence they may develop a type of dislike for the real life.
