Tools Of The Mind Classroom
What is the mood/ tone of the speaker of this poem?
The School in August- Philip Larkin
The cloakroom pegs are empty now,
And locked the classroom door,
The hollow desks are lined with dust,
And slow across the floor
A sunbeam creeps between the chairs
Till the sun shines no more.
Who did their hair before this glass?
Who scratched ‘Elaine loves Jill’
One drowsy summer sewing-class
With scissors on the sill?
Who practised this piano
Whose notes are now so still?
Ah, notices are taken down,
And scorebooks stowed away,
And seniors grow tomorrow
From the juniors today,
And even swimming groups can fade,
Games mistresses turn grey.
I can’t mood seems really… normal =S, it doesn’t lean to either side, dunno if you can interpret it in another way. I need analyze this for an english assignment lol. I wouldn’t mind you put at poetic tools (such as imagery/ stylistic devices) that you see in this poem. Thanks =D
Mood is how you feel when you read the poem.
Tone is the emotion of the author when he/she wrote it.
I think the tone of the poem is anticipatory, like the author is a junior who is excited for senior year.
As for the mood that can mean different things for every person. For me I feel the mood is bitter sweet cause one thing is ending but another is beginning, and it’s also optimistic.
