Question1:
Who is the speaker in the poem and who is he/she speaking to?
Give some reasons to support your answer.A parent (mother or father) is speaking to a young adult child (son or daughter).
Many of the phrases imply that the speaker is an older person who has experienced their own journey through life and who is offering love to the young person to help him/her begin on his/he own journey through life. For example, I’ve saved the summer… I’ve saved some sunlight… When the speaker says Till you’re older… he/she is implying that he/she is much older than the young person (that is, till you’re older like me). The parent also says that although he/she is older, he/she does not know the answers to life’s questions (I know no answers to help you on your way).We know that the speaker is probably a parent because
he/she is offering the child unconditional love (But if
you’ve a need for love, I’ll give you all I won). We know
that the son/daughter is a young adult because the
speaker refers to the time when you were but nineteen.Question2: Which of the following is the closest to the speaker’s message? Give a reason for your choice.
A .If it’s cold, I’ll warm you; if it’s dark, I’ll give you light; if you’re hungry, I’ll feed you; if you want love, I’ll give it to you.
B. Although the future may be difficult for you, whenever you need warmth and love, remember I’ll have some to give you.
C. While you’re away I’ll remember your smile and I’ll love you always. When you return, I hope you will love me. Pre-listening
