- Brothers
- Personal Response
- What difference would it make to what you think of the poem if the younger sibling is a sister? I don't think it would make a lot of difference because you feel sorry for the child as it is so young.
- Why do you think the poet chose to call the poem brothers? To show the clear relationship, no matter what happens/ happened they will always be brothers. To show a sibling relationship
- What does the last line suggest about the relationship developed after this event? The distance created in the relationship had never closed or been fixed.
- Feelings and attitudes
- GUILT- the narrator presents his younger sibling as eager, using childlike innocent terms. This makes the narrators actions seem worse.
- FRUSTRATION- the narrator and Paul want to get away from the younger child
- REGRET- suggests even at the time, part of him wanted to go back, and he wishes that he could close the distance in his relationship with his younger brother.
- About
- The narrator remembers a moment frm his chilhood. He and his elder brother are given responsibility of looking after their younger brother for the afternoon. They are exasperated with him- but excited to be out on their own. They send their younger brother back to get his bus fare but they run on, leaving him behind
- Comparison
- In Paris with you/ The farmers bride/ To his coy mistress/ Ghazal/ Nettles/Sister Maude
