Stanza 1
The poet begins by saying, “Nothing” and adds that he has missed nothing as they (teacher and students) realized that he (the absentee) was not there and hence they were sitting quietly for two hours. with their hands on the desks. It is a kind of sarcastic answer.
Stanza 2
In the next stanza, the teacher’s anger comes out. He tells the absentee that he taught the lessons which covered 40% of the term syllabus and also assigned the students a quiz which is worth 50% of the term paper’s marks.
Stanza 3
The tone again shifts to sarcasm. According to the teacher, he (student) missed nothing as the course has no values or meaning. So he should remain absent as all the activities that take place in the class have no purpose for himself as well as for the absentee.
Stanza 4
In the 4th stanza, the poet says that shortly after he began teaching an angel just appeared that told about the ways to attain wisdom for the life and also that this is the last class after which they will have to spread the good news to the world.This stanza is a satire on the religious faiths like Christian and Jewish religious practices and beliefs. It was believed that angels descend from the sky to impart knowledge to the clergy who afterwards spread that message (good news) to the commoners.
Stanza 5
The tone again reverts to sarcastic. the teacher asks the student how anything can happen in the class without him (student) being present there.
Stanza 6
In the final stanza, the teacher says that the classroom is a world full of human experiences which were assembled for him (student) to grab, examine and understand. It was an opportunity which he has lost now.
Hope this helps
Ummmm, I don’t like the way Kimmy’s hair is today
I feel that record label owners have a greedy career. This is because the entirety of their business is profiting off of other people's talents. Someone comes in, record music, and if they become popular, the record label gets money. If the songs get sold or played on the radio, they also get money. It seems greedy to enter into a business where others earn one's money for them.
The correct answer is: Present or past tense.
The different pronunciations of the word "read" serve to differentiate its verbal tense.
Even though the word is written as "read" in both the present and the past, it is pronounced differently.
If it refers to the present it is read as /riːd/ whereas if it refers to the past it is read as /red/
