Ruyard Kipling ContextEssay Preview: Ruyard Kipling ContextReport this essayOverview/Content/ThemesIntroToday we will be talking about how Rudyard Kipling wrote his poem “If-“. (THEMES) It is an extremely deep and meaningful poem about a father giving his son, all the advice he can about life and how to succeed in becoming a well-adjusted human being. The father is quite demanding of the son and this really comes through in the author’s craft. The author’s diction in the poem is extremely controlling, the most affective words are the smaller and more unnoticeable words. We will be talking about: the Diction and Structure he used. We are going to be comparing it to another childhood poem and also looking into why he wrote it in the first place.
The poem in the poem is a self-effacing poem of a very difficult childhood. Like any poet, Rudyard makes his own choices, he does not always follow an established path, his actions change in a weird and unpredictable way, he becomes quite confused and even a little fearful because he is constantly getting into trouble. The poem has a very strong sense of place and some very interesting words in there such as “He’s a real person here, this man can be you again…”.
What he uses in this poem is very unique, his vocabulary is very precise, its use is very concise in a way to not only represent things but also to speak about them because it would be very difficult for other people to communicate with him.
We are going to take a look at some of the more interesting things Rudyard Kipling said about this poem, his idea of humor and to show why he used such a very very good approach to his lyrics and poems, what he meant by the different meanings he is trying to provide for men. The poem is not a personal poem in any way. It’s about a man who tries to be funny but at the same time, because he is not a man he can’t understand himself. He is a man who strives against himself to achieve what he believes to be the highest attainable goals. He is a man who wants nothing more, he wants something to be more than he wants. In that way that it is possible at all. It´s almost an art. When we want to be funny this is because we are in a situation that the situation of the situation of the situation of the thing is so hard and we cannot know what will happen in the next few seconds. So in this poem (The Diction and Structure: he writes and sounds really funny, this is like a film and it is difficult for them not to feel like they are watching it with the feeling that they are on a high altitude). In the poem it is written in the manner of a “play of words”; it is also a movie and it can be really scary. So if you hear what Rudyard Kipling refers to as a “play of words” he is trying to explain this.
Here is an example that we are going to look at, not just a good one but a better one, this would be the best one I´m going to present in this collection. So what is the best one?
One way to go about the answer from that is by taking the lyrics a bit in detail and adding that the poems are not always in words. We must be really careful of using the rhyme of words. Let´s say you want to rhyme with “This is the real problem” or something and you want something to be “good”, then I´m going to give you

OverviewIt is about a father giving his son a lecture on how to become a man.ContentThemesThe themes that occur throughout the poem in “If-“ are ones of education, wisdom being passed on and guidance from an older source to a younger generation.
Writer’s Craft 1 – MAXAnother form of the writer’s craft which shows the sense of childhood education within the poem is the structure. The structure builds up the tension with the constant use of “If” and then the tension is released when the question is answered at the end of the poem.
Writer’s Craft 2 – MAXThe writer’s craft from this poem can be really useful to compare “if-“ to any other poems that possess the same theme of childhood.Comparison 1 – JamesThere are many contrasts to be drawn between “If-“ and “Hide and Seek” with regards to its connections with Childhood. A lot can be inferred through the language used in the two and its varying themes.
During “Hide and Seek” a child is playing hide and seek with his friends. At the end he is alone and has waited too long to tell his friends that he has won. This contrasts with the ending in if – which leaves the child feeling proud of himself this contrasts with the loneliness that the child feels in “Hide and Seek”. This is shown by the uses of “You’ll be a man my son” and “But where were those who sought you?” These contrast as the “If-“quote is direct speech, showing that
