FIRST NEIGHBOURS BY P.K.PAGE

                                        FIRST NEIGHBOURS -CRITICAL ESSAY
                        This poem was written by P.K.PAGE . She was acknowledged as the best Canadian poet and also fellow of Royal Society of Canada. her homeland is England and so hr dialect is very from that of a people of Canada. she expresses her feeling tat all the human are equal and there is no difference in them, but the people of Canada feels that she is different with the shape of her ear. she says that the girl jeered at her for burned bread. The homeland is always secure comparing to the other nation.
                         She says that she has become a minor and invalid. Her remarks are not worthy. Her gestures are silly of sick. She has become a trivial being in the views of her neighbours. the next stanza speaks about her mental state. And she says that finally she has become hardened like a chapped tarpaulin. She started to negotiate whatever she uttered is of strange meanings to others and Vice versa. She wants to connect herself with the others. She brought herself to the level to get connected with them.
                        In the next stanza , she is exploring mindscape through landscape, she says that nothing is steady everything  inaccurate.Here, the forest is compared to the inner mind. she wants to be connected with them she gets scared and then she says that clumsiness and fright are inevitable. Finally she says that prediction is forever impossible. We cannot predict anything. Thus she concludes her poem.
