In Mrs Tilscher's Class
Impression of student
did not react well to change
'kicked him'
After getting her innocence taken away so suddenly, the student was so shocked that she couldn't think straight and acted in an immature way, using violence
Matches with the theme of growing up: life surprises us in many ways, sometimes with less than pleasant things
greatly enjoyed mrs tilscher's lessons
'enthralling books'
the books captured the student's attention, since these books were found in mrs tilscher's classroom, it can be seen that she chose them, which would show that she was good at capturing her student's attention
it shows just how enjoyable mrs tilscher's lessons were, that the student's attention was always on mrs tilscher, and she did not want to miss anything
'scent of pencil slowly, carefully, shaved'
such a small detail was remembered so clearly by the student, this shows that she was paying attention to every detail during mrs tilschers lessons that she ended up remembering this "random" detail
the fact that it seems so random to the reader, but apparently not to the student, shows that she thought of everything said/done by mrs tilscher as important, that she could no longer tell the difference between what was important and what was not
'This was better than home'
Literary devices that expresses theme
imagery
theme: childhood innocence
'laugh of a bell'
sound imagery
the sound of a bell is light and it tinkles, this makes the readers feel a sense of happiness and carefree: how children feel, because they are not yet exposed to the dangers/unhappiness of the world
the fact that the laugh is like the sound of a bell shows that the child is purely happy, they have nothing to worry about, nothing scary or difficult that they have to deal with
inject playfulness into the poem and captures the feel of childlike wonder and exuberance
'a running child'
can keep running, don't need to stop to solve problems, can go wherever you want to go and do whatever you want; freedom, no worries
Diction
Theme: growing up
'inky'
No definite shape, the beginning of something forming
The students' maturity is forming
