Hey all, so I am suppose to share with you all a analysis of a poem. Here is my analysis of this poem:
The Son is in Secondary School by Affian Sa’at

My badge has a Latin motto
Hope for the future
The future is hope
Or something

At times black crows try to interrupt
When we sing the National Anthem

It is difficult to maintain
The whiteness of my shoes
Especially on Wednesdays

I must admit there is something quite special
About the bare thighs of hardworking scouts

The Malay chauffeurs
Who wait for my schoolmates
Sit on the car park kerb
Telling jokes to one another

Seven to the power of five is unreasonable

On Chinese New Year
Mrs Lee dressed up
In a sarong kebaya
And sang Bengawan Solo

The capital of Singapore is Singapore

My best friend did a heroic thing once
Shaded all A’s
For his Chinese Language
Multiple-choice paper

In our annual yearbook
There is a photograph of me

Pushing a wheelchair and smiling
They caught me
At the exact moment

When my eyes were actually closed


The first few lines of the poem describes the writer's new school and motto and that he was proud of his new school. The next few lines tells us that during the national anthem, the writer oftenly looks at his shoes and not sing the naational anthem.
Then the writer goes on and tells us that he is a scout.Next , he talks about the well-to-do students in his school who have chauffeurs.Lastly, he says that :The capital of Singapore is Singapore. He feels that Singapore is a very small country as it is so small that it is its own city.
