when someone is in captivity they arr in pruson

Nuair a bhíonn duine I ngéibheann bionn an dyine sinn I bprisúin

we see the lion have freedom and independence

sa dán seo feicimid go raibh saoirse agus neamhpléasach agan leon nuat a bhi sé sa chónaí I cheochrasa

he is the king of the forest and controls his environment

Ba rí na faoirse agus bhí sé I gceannas ar a timpeallacht

After a while thr lion is not free he is in the zoo

Faraor níl an leon saor anois bhí sé I ngairdín n-ainmhithe

He is not happy as he is in captivity

Níl sé sastá mar bhí se I ngéibheann

he cannot escape

Ní féidir leis ealú

he doesn't want to be in captivity

Ní theastaoínn audh a bheith i nGéibheann

He wants freedom

Santaíonn sé saoirse

his sporit is lost because of his captivity

when the lion is in captivity catlin is in captivity she also has cancer

Nuair a bhí an leon in ngéibheann bhí Caitlin I ngéibheann. Fuair sé an galar aitse

This is why geibheann is a suitable title

there is no cure

ni raibh leigheas I ndais dí

geibheann us a suitable title

Da bhí is teideall orúineach é géibheann

the poem affected me a lot

Chuaigh an dán Géibheann go mór I bhfeidhm

I like the personification and the metaphors used

Is breá liom peasantú a uasáudeann an file sa dán agus a meafair a uasáideann an file

the poet speaks through the mouth of the animal

Tá an file ag labhairt trí bhéal an ainmhí

the poet is speaking metaphorically

Is go meafrach atá an file ag caint sa dán seo

I am an animal

ainmhí mé ainmhí alta

when catlin made was growing up she was full of energy

nuair a bhí sí ag fas anois bhí sí lán le fuineamh

when she got cancer she no longer had energy

Nuair a fuair sí galar aisle níl aon fuineamh aici

I love the way the second half of the poem makes us think

is aoibhonn liom an tslí a chuireann an dara leath den dán a smaoineamh

the animals are taken advantage of in the zoo

Ta na ainmhí faigh leas sa zú

frustration and sadness are the emotions in this poem

is e frustachas agus brod an dá mothúcháin is treise sa dán

the poet illustrates this well

eiríonn go cliste leis an bhfule na mothúcháin seoe friotal deas simplí

throught the mouth of the animal

trí labhairt bhéal an anmhí

she puts the eurgenxy of the animal infront of us

chuir sí sainn an ainmhí in iúl dúinn agus

the poet is proud of her body and the power in it

tá bród ar an bhfile as áilleacht a coirp agus as an fuineamh atá inti

he doesn't want to be restricted in his ability

Ni theastaíonn go gcuirfear teorainn riamh lena cumas mar dhuine

The frustration comes out in the final lines

tagann an frustachas amach sna línte deireadh

the animal obeys the predicament in which it is

géileann an tainmhí don tsáinn in a bhfuil sé

he has no interest in the things around him

níl suit suim agai sna rudaí atá timpeall air

only one eye is open when he observes the tree

osclaíonn súil amháin agus é

nuair a bhí sé ag féachaint ar aon chrann amháinn atá san áit

the tiger is frustrated because he is being held in captivity

bhí frustachas an domhain ar an leon mar bhí sé i ngéibheann / níl a shaol saor

nobody can free the poet or the lion

ach níl duine abalta an file scaoladh ó cheangal an chóras

There is a strong contrast in this poem between the animal, strong, proud, and authoritative in the first half of the poem.

tá codorsnacht lâidir le fâil sa dán seo idir an t-ainmhí cumhachtas láidir bródúil abis údarásach sa chéad leath den dán agus sa dara leath den dán bhí an ainmhí tuirseach clstrafóbic caite sa dara leath

he is king of the jungle and he loves the temperature

is rí na foraoise é agus is aoibhin

he feels he is the master of his surroundings and the animals too

Mothaíonn sé go bhfuil sé in a mháistir ar a thimpeallacht agus ar na haibmhithe eile go Fressingfield

the atmosphere in the second half of the poem changes with the tone

athraíonn an t-atmisféar sa dara leath den dán leis an gcónas

an atmosphere of sadness and closterphobic is created because the tiger is in captivity

cruthaitear atmaisféar tuirseach agus clástrafóibeach mar bhi an leon i ngéibheann sa zú
