Thoughts and Feelings ‘on the Grasshopper and the Cricket’
What be your thoughts and feelings about the song On The Grasshopper and The play? In the poem On The Grasshopper and The Cricket by nates Keats, the poet seems at a first glance to just to be describing a grasshopper and a cricket and how they inhabit a garden and the kitchen of a home respectively. However, once we understand the poem, it is not so straightforward. In the arcsecond to the sixth lines of the poem, it shows how carefree the life of a grasshopper is in the summer luxury as opposed to the cricket in the l whiz overwinter.As it is mentioned that the grasshopper hops from hedge to hedge about a new-mown mead, we know that it is probably in a garden where it does not hand over to worry. It also gives us a young and lively feel to the poem because it shows that all the grasshopper does the entire day is play among the hedges and live a luxurious life. In the sixth and seventh lines, it is shown that the grasshopper is never blase because in this case, the grasshop per himself is cap competent of having his delights and fun with minimal effort and is able to rest if it feels tired beneath some pleasant weed.Its so hot that the usually chirpy and active birds have taken supply amongst the shady trees and the whole countryside seems to be quiet, but just then one can hear the ever active grasshopper chirping away merrily in the hedges. We also know that in that location are birds in the garden as said in the second line when birds are sluttish with hot sun so it is believed that the grasshopper is never lonely because there are other animals around.Similarly, when one is cozily sheltered in the ottoman of his home in front of a warm stove from the cold, sharp winter and is beginning to feel lonely, an atmosphere of closeness and loneliness prevails. However, the silence is shattered by the shrill chirpings of the cricket and this silence, which was forced by the cold, is thinly calmed by the crickets song. But even then the verse line o f earth continues without a break.In a way, the grasshopper can be seen as selfish because when it plays among the hedges and freshly cut grass, it does not do anything else that implies that it is dower anyone other than itself. On the other hand, the cricket is seen to be somewhat of a good friend to those who are lonely on winter nights as it breaks the silence that was forced by the cold winter. The grasshopper could be compared to a young person who is usually carefree and does not worry much. In comparison, the cricket could represent someone in his or her old epoch who is there for people when they are in need or are lonely.
