1.) Father is ploughing in a field/farm
2.) He’s son is weak and follows his father round, stumbling and falling over.
3.) He dreams of being able plough and becoming strong like his father.
4.) He grows up and becomes strong enough to plough. Whereas his father has grown old and has become weak.
This poem shows how the father was strong, then he becomes weak. This is because of age, and growing old.

Rian this is fantastic work!
I am so proud of you working so hard and on your poetry analysis.
You have really thought this through and you have given you ideas very clearly.
Well done, lovely work.

I agree, I can see that you have thought carefully about what the speaker might be telling us.
Look back at the poem and your bullet points – provide a quotation to support each one.
