A3.

The word ‘there’ refers to the poet's


father’s bed. The poet thinks that the ghosts,
elephants & giants are afraid of his father as
he can beat them up and chase them to their
lair. This shows that he feels safe and secure
with his father.
A4. According to the poet, giants, ghosts &
elephants generally hang around children’s
rooms and they snap, snarl & bite. Also, they
laugh if they can make the children yell with
all their might.
A5. The word for ‘a scary dream’ is a
nightmare. Yes, I’ve had nightmares before.
Once I dreamt that I was lost in a dark, spooky
forest, where the trees’ branches were
reaching out to me like they were hands. I
kept hearing sounds of people talking but
couldn’t see anyone!
A6. Giants, ghosts & elephants represent a
young child’s fear of the dark and of being
alone. All of these creatures are simply a
figment of the poet’s imagination. If I were
confronted by them, I would avoid interacting
with them and find my parents, just like the
poet does in the poem.
A7. I would also run to either of my parents if
I were in a similar situation as the poet. I
would feel safe with them and they would
know how to deal with the situation better
than me.
