Greetings, ardent readers!
All of the significant questions that have been asked regularly in the Grade 10 Exams are included in this handout. This provides a thorough understanding of the 'Daffodils' chapter. This will enable you to grasp the chapter and provide you with a thorough understanding ...
EXTRACT 1
i) The poet William Wordsworth is referred to as 'l' in the
first line of the extract. He was wandering in the woods of
the Lake District, Grasmere in England.
ii) The poet encountered a large number of golden
daffodils. They grew beneath the trees and beside the
lake.
iii) The daffodils were yellow and were shining in the sun
like gold and also they symbolise the magical effect
created in poet's heart and mind.
iv) These lines personify the beautiful daffodils. The poet
sees the daffodils growing along the margin of a bay, and
they appear to be dancing and fluttering in the breeze.
These lines are important as it was the daffodils’ lively
appearance that captivated the poet.
v) The figure of speech used is hyperbole. The poet saw a
host of daffodils, along the margin of the bay. He said "
Ten thousand saw I at a glance". It is
exaggeration/hyperbolic expression. He used the words
'crowd' & 'host'.
EXTRACT 2
(i) The poet uses a simile to compare the daffodils to the
stars on the milky way. As infinite number of stars shine
on the milky way, so a multitude of golden daffodils grew
along the edge of the lake.
(ii) Refer to Lyric and Rhyme scheme under style on page
89.
