In this poem, belonging to place is the focus. Given that the poet and his family spent ‘nineteen years’ living in the same house in the same street in the same suburb, we assume that if he belongs anywhere, it is here. However, the poem speaks of a false or constructed sense of belonging. The poet tells us in detail of the day-to-day routine – ‘each morning, shut the house/like a well-oiled lock/hid the key… back at 5p.m… my parents watered plants… tended roses and camellias/like adopted children’ – however, a feeling of emptiness pervades over this whole scene. It is ‘hum-drum’.

I think it represents the fact that even though humans grow to be adults, you will always have a childish part to you. We learn, and grow throughout our entire lives, every single day. Just because adults have that label, doesn’t mean they can’t learn and continue to grow. Even though Holden has grown up, he still wishes he was a child. Seeing Phoebe on the carousal brought him happiness because she on the horse represented childhood in every way.
Become the vision that we need in future generations. Show your family how you live a simple life, full of humbleness, respect and graciousness. Take your children out into nature and share the beauty that is there to behold. Allow them to develop their own view of the pond and knowledge that everything manufactured by human hands is not a necessity. Give them information to allow their minds to grow as Thoreau did during his time in the cabin.
In the young and carefree, time has no affect on the mind of the child; however, at a certain age, one will realize that life is too short and that opportunities should be taken advantage of. A.E. Housman's "Loveliest of Trees” teaches this life-changing lesson.

In the first stanza, the speaker describes a beautiful and serene scene that he is enjoying while taking a walk through the forest.
