What is the background of the poem 'If' of rudyard kipling?

Answer 1

Since the poem is about courage and not giving up, the tone could be one of these options:

1. arrogant (how could that be it?)

2. Critical (maybe..but no one is being criticized.)

3. insightful (having power ...yes could be)

4. emotionless (I believe there is emotion)

In order to find the TONE re-read the poem to understand it and think about how you felt after reading it. Did you feel scared, happy, thoughtful, or any options that were given on top. I know you'll be sad to read this but the TONE is from the way YOU see the poem and not what someone wrote it is. It's up to you to decide what you felt after reading the poem..good luck!

Hence, the poem can be seen as a fine-tuning of an explicit message from the story to its young readers. "If" is a didactic poem, a work meant to give instruction. In this case, "If" serves as an instruction in several specific traits of a good leader.
