Half Past TWo
Compare and contrast the way the childhood is presented in "Piano" by D.H. Lawrence, "My parents kept me from children who were rough" by Stephen Spender and "Half-past two" by U. A. Fanthorpe
In all three poems the poets present childhood in different and exceptional way. In "Piano", childhood is presented in a very idealistic way. The poet is remembering the good old times when he was sitting under the piano and listening to his mother tenderly singing a powerful song. He remembers his loving mother, and all the factors surrounding her, only having a positive atmosphere. When on the other hand Stephen Spender is describing himself being teased and abused by his own peer mates in his youth. We can sense the fright and dread in the poem. Whereas towards the end, the poet forgives the awful children, and she even tries to make friends. The poem "Half-past two" is about a child, who gets a detention until 2.30pm, but doesn't know time. He fears that it will never end and feels lost. In the end the situation leads him to a shocking and unforgettable experience.
