The lesson
The poem describes a 10-year-old boy's reaction to learning of his father's death from his bald headmaster. Though he cries, it is not from grief but from realizing he can use his father's death to avoid bullying for a while. He feels shame for this, but also relief. At a school assembly where his grief is announced, he feels pride at the attention on him, comparing this pride to a flashing goldfish. The poem explores the boy's conflicting feelings and lesson that death can be used for personal gain.
The discovery
1) The poem describes a native American man living a simple life gathering shells on a beach until he hears strange noises.
2) He sees huge ships that he perceives as "huge canoes" moving in the bay, with sails like "bellying cloths" and flags like "fluttering coloured signs."
3) The sight of the ships terrifies the man and changes his simple life, as Christopher Columbus and his men introduce a new and frightening world to the native people of America.
We are going to see the rabbit
The poem describes people's excitement at the prospect of seeing the last rabbit in England, exhibited behind barbed wire on the only patch of grass. They travel by escalator, underground, motorway, and helicopter to see it. At the exhibition, arrangements are made with police, loudspeakers, and banners. However, the rabbit disappears, disappointing the crowd and leaving them questioning what they can do about the destruction of nature. The rabbit worries it will soon be found in its warren under the ground. The poem criticizes how urbanization has reduced nature and comments on humanity's treatment of the natural world.
Andrew Forster: Brothers
The poem "Brothers" describes an afternoon spent by an older brother with his younger brother and friend. While the older brother feels annoyed by his younger sibling at the time, the poem reflects on this moment from an adult perspective with regret for not treating his brother more kindly. Through descriptive imagery and dialogue, the three stages of the afternoon are recounted, from setting out together to the brothers' eventual separation at the end of the day when the younger brother misses his bus. Written in free verse without rhyme, the poem explores the inevitable distancing of siblings due to differences in age.
My parents kept me from children who were rough

While he feared their strength and mocking behavior, copying his lisp, he also admired their freedom and felt jealous. In the last stanza, he pretends to smile and wants to forgive them, but they do not reciprocate his friendly gestures. The poem explores the poet's ambivalence towards the children and social class divisions.
Analysis of 'Nettles' by Vernon Scannell

The father soothes the boy's blistered skin, then aggressively slashes the nettles with a blade.

We are going to see the rabbit
- 1. We are going to See the Rabbit Alan Brownjohn
- 2. We are going to see the rabbit We are going to see the rabbit. We are going to see the rabbit. Which rabbit, people say? Which rabbit , ask the children? Which rabbit? The only rabbit, The only rabbit in England,
- 3. Sitting behind a barbed-wire fence Under the floodlights, neon lights, Sodium lights, Nibbling grass On the only patch of grass In England, in England (except the grass by the hoardings Which doesn't count.) We are going to see the rabbit And we must be there on time.
- 4. First we shall go by escalator, Then we shall go by underground, And then we shall go by motorway, And then by helicopterway, And the last 10 yards we shall have to go On foot.
- 5. And now we are going All the way to see the rabbit, We are nearly there, We are longing to see it, And so is the crowd Which is here in thousands With mounted policemen And big loudspeakers And bands and banners, And everyone has come a long way.
- 6. But soon we shall see it Sitting and nibbling The blades of grass In - but something has gone wrong! Why is everyone so angry, Why is everyone jostling And slanging and complaining?
- 7. The rabbit has gone, Yes, the rabbit has gone. He has actually burrowed down into the earth And made himself a warren, under the earth, Despite all these people, And what shall we do? What can we do?
- 8. It is all a pity, you must be disappointed, Go home and do something for today, Go home again, go home for today. For you cannot hear the rabbit, under the earth, Remarking rather sadly to himself, by himself, As he rests in his warren, under the earth: 'It won't be long, they are bound to come, They are bound to come and find me, even here.'
