REFERENCE SPEECH

Hello, teacher and classmates. My name is...

Today, I'll present to you and my classmates a representative work of President Ho Chi Minh - 'The Scene of Pac Bo' by analyzing and evaluating the content and artistry of the poem.

Firstly, the poem not only portrays the challenging living and working days in Pac Bo but also evokes the love for nature and the optimistic spirit of Him. This theme is expressed right in the opening line:

'In the morning by the stream, in the evening in the cave.'

The verse opens up the scene of everyday life repeating itself 'in the morning' - 'in the evening' at Pac Bo cave where He lived and worked. He spent each day in the mountains with 'streams' and 'caves'. Despite the limited living conditions, we can feel His organized lifestyle, relaxed demeanor, and love for nature.

His daily life becomes even simpler with images like:

'Porridge and bamboo shoot vegetables are always available.'

The simple meals only consist of 'porridge' and 'bamboo shoot vegetables', yet He always carries the spirit of being 'always ready'. In contrast to the hardships of life are His proactive attitude and optimistic spirit.

The theme of the poem becomes even more prominent with vivid descriptions of daily work:

'The unsteady stone table bears the weight of Party history.'

The figurative phrase 'unsteady' evokes a sense of instability, not smoothness, combined with the noun 'stone table' depicts Uncle Ho's makeshift workplace. However, despite all obstacles, He still sits there and perseveres with the work of 'Party history' - a work of great significance to our nation's revolutionary cause.

Faced with difficulties and shortages in living and working conditions, He always looks towards optimism and positivity:

'Revolutionary life is truly splendid.'

For Him, being part of the Revolution makes life truly 'splendid' in many ways. The word 'splendid' serves as the hallmark of the poem, highlighting its theme and illuminating His composed demeanor, optimistic spirit, and firm commitment to the Vietnamese Revolution. Thus, we also feel the joy of fulfilling idealistic work through Him.

To highlight the theme of the work, we cannot ignore its artistic excellence. Like other quatrain poems, 'The Scene of Pac Bo' is structured meticulously: introduction, development, transition, conclusion. Through harmonious combination, four concise and profound verses clearly depict the entire theme of the poem.

Furthermore, the uniqueness of the artistic form of the work is also demonstrated through contrasting images. It is the contrast in the daily activities of Uncle Ho at Pac Bo: 'morning - evening', 'out - in'. It can be said that the poet was very astute in using pairs of antonyms in a verse to describe a regular lifestyle along with harmony and attachment to the mountainous nature.
