Theme: A Small Moment Can Change Everything

1. Setting and Background

The poem is set outside in nature, during winter.

The poet is feeling sad or upset about something.

Suddenly, a crow shakes a snow-covered tree (a hemlock tree), and a little dust of snow falls on the poet.

2. Characters

The Poet: He is feeling sad or depressed but has a change of mood after the small event.

The Crow: A symbol of something dark or unlucky — but it accidentally helps the poet feel better.

The Hemlock Tree: A tree usually linked with poison or sadness — but it plays a positive role in the poem.

Dust of Snow: Small ball of snow — simple and light, but they bring a big change in the poet’s mood.

3. Summary of the Poem

The poet is in a bad mood on a winter day.

A crow sitting on a hemlock tree shakes some snow off the branches.

The snow falls on the poet.

This small, simple moment changes his mood.

He feels happier and more hopeful. It saves the rest of his day from being wasted in sadness.

4. Strange or Surprising (Irony)

Usually, crow and hemlock tree are signs of bad luck or sadness.

But here, they bring joy and hope to the poet.

That’s what makes the poem ironic and beautiful — bad things can also bring good feelings.

5. Moral of the Poem

Even a small action or moment can change your mood or day.

Nature has the power to change the mood.

Theme: A Great Story About Care and Love

1. Setting and Background

The story happens in a town where a rich lady, Mrs. Pumphrey, lives with her pet dog, Tricki.

Tricki is very fat and lazy because Mrs. Pumphrey gives him too much food and treats.

She treats Tricki like a child and does not listen when people tell her to feed him less.

One day, Tricki becomes very sick and weak, so she takes him to the vet, Mr. Herriot.

2. Main Characters

Tricki: A small dog who is overfed and becomes sick. He loves food but becomes weak and lazy.

Mrs. Pumphrey: A rich, kind lady who loves Tricki too much. She gives him too much food and treats.

Mr. Herriot: A kind and clever veterinary doctor who helps Tricki become healthy again.

3. Summary of the Story

Tricki becomes very fat and can't even walk properly.

Mrs. Pumphrey gets worried and takes him to Mr. Herriot, the vet.

Mr. Herriot knows that Tricki is not sick, just overfed. He takes him to his clinic.

At the clinic, Tricki gets no extra food, just simple meals and time to play with other dogs.

Slowly, Tricki becomes active, happy, and healthy.

Mrs. Pumphrey is very thankful and thinks it was a "triumph of surgery", even though there was no surgery, just good care and proper food.

4. Funny and Strange Parts (Irony)

Mrs. Pumphrey thinks Tricki needed surgery, but all he really needed was less food and more exercise.

She never knows that the vet just gave Tricki a normal life, not any operation.

It’s funny because her too much love was actually harming Tricki.

5. Moral of the Story

Too much love and care can be bad.

Healthy food and exercise are important for both animals and humans.

Sometimes, simple solutions work better than big treatments.

Theme: Destructive Nature of Human Emotions

1. Setting and Background

The poem talks about how the world might end — either in fire or in ice.

These are not just natural elements, but symbols of human emotions.

The poet shares his thoughts on which one is more dangerous.

2. Main Elements / Characters

Fire: Stands for desire, passion, greed, and anger — strong emotions that can burn and destroy.

Ice: Stands for hatred, coldness, and lack of love — emotions that can freeze and destroy slowly.

The Poet: Shares his belief that both fire and ice can end the world, just like strong emotions can destroy people or relationships.

3. Summary of the Poem

The poet says some people believe the world will end in fire, others in ice.

He agrees with those who say fire, because he knows how strong desire can be.

But he also says that ice, or hatred, is just as dangerous — it can also destroy.

In the end, the poet says both fire and ice are enough to cause the end.

4. Strange or Surprising (Irony)

Fire and ice are opposites, but both can cause destruction.

We usually think of emotions like love or hate as personal, but here, they are strong enough to end the world.

The poem is short and simple, but it talks about a huge and serious topic.

5. Moral of the Poem

If not controlled, these feelings can destroy relationships, lives, or even the world.

The poem teaches us the need for balance and self-control.

Both fire (passion) and ice (hate) are harmful if taken too far.
