For Anne Gregory Summary Class 10 English

The trees in the poem are of the paintings or pictures that are decorative inside the houses. Birds can’t sit in the trees because they don’t exist physically as natural forests have them. The roots work to free themselves from the cracks in the verandah floor. The boughs are compared with the newly discharged patients moving to the clinic doors. The poet is sitting inside the house writing long letters. The night is pleasant and fresh. The smell of leaves and lichen is reaching her. The trees are stumbling forward into the night. The moon is seen shining in the top of the tallest oak. Please refer For Anne Gregory Summary for more revision notes.

Fog Summary Class 10 English

“Fog” is a poem that reflects Sandburg’s interest in the natural world and beautifully captures a moment or two when the fog came moving in over the harbor waters, a powerful image given life through a metaphorical cat The fog rolls in over a harbor and city, looking mighty catlike. At first it’s quiet and unsuspecting, like a cat. Then, again very much like a cat, it moves on and either disappears or pounces on another harbor/city. And the fog does all of this in a whopping space of only six lines.

The Trees Summary Class 10 English

The “I,” the voice of the speaker of Adrienne Rich’s poem, “The Trees,” is a voice with a body engaged in activities and sensing intrusions that are not organic to the conventions of a nature poem. This is, in fact, an (un)natural poem that narrates the struggle of a population of trees to escape the confines of a greenhouse.

In evoking the trees’ “strain,” the poem demonstrates the unsuitability of language itself as a greenhouse or container of nature. The speaker is a witness to the trees’ exodus, but distances herself from participating in the making of something out of the spectacle. She “sit[s]” and “writ[es]” but not poems, “long letters,” in which she “scarcely mention[s] the departure / of the forest.” Please refer The Trees Summary for more revision notes.

Animals Summary Class 10 English

• Desires to live Among Animals: The poet desires to live among the animals because they are serene and self-contented. They are too wise to bewail over their condition. They weep for their sins and do their duty to God.
• Quality of satisfaction: The animals are always satisfied. They do not possess the mania of possessing things. They do not show respect for the others. They even do not respect their thousand old ancestors. They are equal in sorrow and happiness. Please refer Animals Summary for more revision notes.

Amanda Summary Class 10 English

This poem depicts the state of a little girl’s mind who is constantly instructed about do’s and don’ts by her elders. She is told not to hunch her shoulders and to sit up straight. She is told to finish her homework and tidy her room. She is forbidden from eating a chocolate that she has. But all the time, the little girl Amanda keeps dreaming of a life of freedom in the open.

She dreams of mermaids in the sea, of roaming barefoot in the dusty street and of the golden haired Rapunzel who lived alone in a high tower. She takes no note of what is being said to her. Then she is rebuked for being moody and sulking all the time. Please refer Amanda Summary for more revision notes.
