Analyzing on Turning Ten

As you grow older the more responsibilities we have, and the less we get to be imaginative and carefree, that's what the author was trying to emphasize in his poem.  You can see in the poem that the boy doesn't want to grow up, the author shows us this by descriptively telling us how the child used to act, and the things he imagined himself as at every age all the way up to ten.  The author writes this poem in such a way that you feel what the little boy is going through and you see him thinkg his invisible or him acting like a wizard. The mere details of the child's life before he turns ten draws the reader in and make the poem effective.  The author makes you sit back and think about your past and how you used act, think, and be so carefree, and naive. For instance, when the boy was describing how he was like at the age of 4, it made me think back to when I was four and my little sister and used to pretend that we were princesses living in a castle with guards, and advisers, and even a pet dragon.This poem most definitely brings the child out of everyone that reads it, and it allows your imagination to run free to the times when you were young and still considered as a child.  To me, I feel the boys pain of never wanting to grow up, because when I was younger I couldn't wait to be grown up with my own ob, and responsibilities, but now that I'm older and responsible for myself  there nothing I wouldn't do to go back in time and still be that little girl that use to pretend she was a princess in a far away castle with her little sister.
