Anthology of poems
Now I'm going to discuss the three poems that im going to explain afterwards. Now these three poems shows us childhood and its general view from every character as we see the poets describe situation or part of there life that's likely to be a part of there life , every one of them feels and senses and remembers his days when he was a child having a mother and a father but there are differences between the three poets about there sadness and happiness and if they were really happy expressing there feelings in the poem or really sad about what had gone and never come back regretting that they got old and being men and never seeing the past but in these poems they see it when they smell, feel and hear something so as we see the three poems that will make child hood having more appearance is half past two by u.a.fanthorpe
and piano by Dh.lawerence and my parents kept me from children who were rough by Stephen spender.
'Half Past Two' is a poem in which Fanthorpe describes how a young child is given a detention for an unspecified misdemeanor and is forgotten by his teacher. Fanthorpe draws on her experience as a teacher to describe the scene as seen through the child's eyes.
The Title of the poem tells me a lot of information even before I read the poem.

Suggestions to better the paper...
This essay contains some good points and statements, but contains a few dire points that destroy the writing format of a good essay...
1) It is good to start an essay with stating what the essay will be about, but it is not good to say "now i will talk about..." or "this essay is about" because it doesnt hook a reader.
2) Transitions in a paper are great, they lead from one idea to another. but this essay could be improved by changing the transitions. The word "NOW" is used 6 times in this piece, which could be changed to make the essay stronger.
3)The essay starts with the word now... when the reader reads this, they will be thinking, wow this writer doesn't know how to write a solid paper, what were they talking about before "now"???
4) The most important thing!!! Never use "I" in a paper, it takes away creditability of the paper. a strong paper will show how the writter feels about a topic, just by looking at the thesis statment...
