  10. 1. I think it means even if someone has the same name, no one reacts or has the same personality to that one person with the name. Also the poet is trying to put the main point in the readers head. It also means he thinks his name is special to him and nobody can steal his name from him.

  11. 2. It means when he has being called he jumps up really fast and he is relating that to electricity which is a fast source of speed and he would react if he has been called.

    3. He might be feeling that some one is mad at him and he thinks he is getting told off and it the poem he is talking about his name.

    4. It might be his Mum calling him in a plesent voice or his teacher calling him in a grumpy voice telling him off.

    5.He reacted with a loving touch wich means he admires that the person who said that said it in a nice way and it is nice to be called in a nice way.
    6. Because he is loyal for that name and it is only his and he admires having that name and everyone calls him that name also everyone knows him for that sertain name.

  13. 1. Yes, I think it’s true. There will be lots of other kids with his name as well but they would not have the same personality as him.

    2. The poet means that as soon as the boy here’s his name being called, he reacts fastly to his name.

    3. Hearing his name is a terror because he might be in trouble or going to get too tolled off.

    4. 4. I think it might be his teacher calling him.

    5. 5. The boy is happy when his name is called in a whisper because it’s in a nice tone.

    6. His name is magic because he admires his own name and it’s his name only.

  14. 1. I think he means there’s no one else with the same personality as him and also that no one else has all of the same names as him.

    2. I think it means when people call him it makes him responded as fast as electricity and he recognizes the voice that’s calling him which makes him wide awake.

    3. Maybe because his friend and him start trying to communicate to each other and the teacher is cross because they are talking in class and the teacher gets into a terror when she gets angry and it was a bad time to talk.


    4. I think it’s his friend that keeps calling him because it said it was blurted out in the playground and his friend might want to play with him.


    5. I think it gets called in a whisper because they are in class and someone really wants to tell him something because it’s urgent they think. I also think the poet’s reaction was him wanting to know who’s calling him.

    6. Because names are very valuable and special, also everyone has one and he thinks names should be magic because he is thankful that we do have names
