... COMPARING AND CONTRASTING POETRY It is often said that school days are the most memorable days of one's life. Debate still flourishes around the validity of this statement but for most, school life presents or presented many challenges, both happy and painful. In First Day at School, Roger Mcgough depicts a young student's surreal look at his first day among the 'big people' as he explores an amusing and harrowing impression of a first day at school. U A Fanthorpe entertains the simple, yet abstract, concept of 'time' through the eyes of a young student in 'Half past two'. A student whose innocence derives from his inability, 'she hadn't taught him time', to comprehend the structured world of adults and their habit of classifying events into 'times'. Enjoyed for their simplicity and for the memories they conjure up, both poems lend themselves to a discussion on their respective styles and resultant impact
