Catechist's Journey

If I Were King/Queen for a Day: Students’ Ideas

crown

So, this past Tuesday, I asked my sixth graders to dream of what it is that they would do if they could be king or queen for a day . The purpose of this was to introduce to them the concept of the Kingdom of Israel leading up to Jesus’ proclamation of the Kingdom of God. I was blown away by their responses! They were not only imaginative but also very caring and Gospel-centered! In fact, most of their more serious suggestions are quite compatible with Catholic Social Teaching ! Here’s a sampling from the sublime to the “ridiculous”:

  • provide homes for all the homeless
  • make peace with all countries
  • create a handicap-accessible camp
  • make sure all people have warm clothes for winter
  • make sure everyone has a family
  • take in all dogs in pounds and shelters
  • make sure all kids have presents on Christmas
  • set all zoo animals free
  • everyone will donate clothes for the homeless
  • not let anyone drink and drive
  • not let kids get bullied
  • make sure nobody gets shot
  • make sure Masses are going on all day
  • make all money be spread evenly
  • make all troops go home
  • allow no one to earn lower than minimum wage
  • make sure all are fed
  • all animals will be treated better
  • environmental care
  • lower taxes
  • better pay and pensions for all
  • quality child care for all children
  • stop global warming
  • end all wars
  • improve quality of education for all

“Ridiculous”

  • ban written assignments
  • everyone’s nails/toes must have color
  • everyday was Christmas
  • everyone must wear colorful clothing
  • everyone must have a pet
  • everyone must eat corn for dinner
  • have all of the candy in the world sent to me
  • have a HUGE pizza party
  • no homework

If I were a King Essay

December 2, 2017 by Study Mentor 1 Comment

As a king, it would be great to have control over all that occurs in the state and building a place where you want to be and where everyone can be as they want to lead their lives. Basically, building a Utopia is what is the dream of the kings so that the subjects can live happily forever. There are many things to be undertaken by a king if we look closely.  

Table of Contents

Building the capital  

One of the most important job for the king is to build a perfect capital for all the people so that they can come to the capital very easily and talk about their problems.

The placement of the capital must be such that it is accessible to everyone. So, I will wake it just at the center of my kingdom. This is how I can control the kingdom with equal rights for every subject and I will build small local courts so that all those who cannot reach me at the capital may get the justice they deserve.   

Judicial System

Most of the places have a flawed judicial system. If I am the king, I would start making the judicial system perfect by creating a well-made session court controlled by me and numerous local courts. The judges of local courts will be handpicked by me through tests of knowledge and wisdom.

It is very important that they get the justice and in that way, they will have total faith on their king. It seems to be a bit of a problem to control the whole kingdom from a single place, so local courts will be very necessary. If the people working there are flawed and can be bribed the total Judiciary would crush. So, hand-picking is the best option to secure the place.  

Communal Harmony  

If I were a King essay

There will not be any scarcity of food because the farmers will not be burdened with paying taxes. Only the higher class will be subjected to taxation so that an economic balance is maintained in the society. Anybody trying to overpower another person or damage their property with the help of money will not be tolerated and will be put on trial according to the code of law.  

Strict punishments 

There are many criminals who are serious and continuous offenders in every place. These are some people who need to be off the streets so that people can live without fear. So, strict actions will be taken to the jail where they will be subjected to punishments like caged for a lifetime.

This will make it simpler for other offenders to understand and leave the wrong way of life. This is very necessary all around the kingdom and if I am building any place I would make it safe.  

Proper Education 

Every kid will be subjected to minimum education. There will be a fund made through the donations of rich people in the community and that will be utilized by the government in the kingdom to carry on the scholarships for the needy students in the kingdom.

My main motive as a king will obviously be creating a place will full educated people where everyone is skilled at what they do. The equal education and a minimum of skill learning will be made compulsory for everyone. The educational fees will be made keeping every people in mind as it should never depend on monetary perception.  

Proper Ministry

The ministers will not be selected through the same old tradition of family succession. To become a minister everybody will be subjected to go through proper examinations where their knowledge and honesty will be tested.

They will be subjected to go through medical tests and only then they will be selected. Basically, to head a particular department one need to be the best and bring out their best. This way, the ministry will not be flawed and every department will be governed perfectly.  

Science and Technology  

The science and the research department will be a separate sector in the kingdom where the enthusiasts will be encouraged to build better technology for the advancement of the kingdom. To grow, every kingdom requires improvement and in the modern world, only better technology holds the key to the new and better world.

The technology made will obviously be under scanner so that any fellow researcher never gets the chance of creating machines of mass destruction.  

Army and Defence

The army will be subjected to a great amount of training and will be given the best treatment from the kingdom as a token of gratitude for their service. The families of all army personnel will be given facilities to keep on with their living. The army will be under three sectors including naval troops, air troops and land troops.

They will be given the best weapons and technology so that they can easily protect the kingdom from foreign invasion. They will be frequently given medals and awards as a gesture that the kingdom also respects the fact that they stay awake at night so that we sleep peacefully.  

Final Verdict

The final verdict will always be from my mouth as the king before any department taking a particular decision. The final say proves that the control over the kingdom will stay in my hands. It will, therefore, be governed according to my will and therefore no harm will be done to the subjects and they can carry on with their happy life in their own perfect way.

This is how I will control my kingdom, so that it may flourish with improvements in technology, having a stable economy and keeping a communal harmony. Everybody deserves a life worth living and not some burden and this will be the word of advice for all my fellow subjects. It will be a great experience looking at a Utopia built by me.

If I Were King

By A. A. Milne

‘If I Were King’ by A.A. Milne is a highly entertaining poem. It contains the fantastical thoughts of a young boy who wants to be king.

A. A. Milne

Nationality: English

Notable works include  ' Spring Morning '  and  ' Vespers .' 

Emma Baldwin

Poem Analyzed by Emma Baldwin

B.A. English (Minor: Creative Writing), B.F.A. Fine Art, B.A. Art Histories

‘ If I Were King’ is a sixteen-line poem that is divided into sets of two lines, or couplets . The rhyme scheme of this piece, as with most poems aimed at a young audience , is consistent. It follows a pattern of AA BB CC DD, and so on, alternating end sounds throughout. The only couplets that have the same end rhymes are the first and the last with the “-ing” sound. They also share the same end words, “King” and “anything,” although they are reversed in order in the eighth couplet .  

In regards to the rhythm , ‘If I Were King’ is also very regulated. The lines are written in iambic tetrameter . This means that each line contains four sets of two beats. The first is unstressed and the second is stressed.

  • 2 Poetry Technique
  • 3 Analysis of If I Were King

If I Were King by A.A. Milne

The poem begins with the speaker telling the reader that he thinks a lot about what it’s like to be a king. He goes through a number of different countries and activities he’d like to participate, or not participate, in. These include keeping wild animals, like elephants, not wearing his hat or brushing his hair, and thinking of “lovely things to do.”

He shows his desire to gain some control over his life and those around him. The child speaker feels as if the rules imposed on him are unfair and would like to get rid of them. The funny, yet poignant, desires of the speaker are widely relatable to any child reading the text, making this piece a great example of children’s poetry.

Poetry Technique

One of the most common techniques used by Milne in this text is that of repetition . This functions well within children’s poetry as it adds to the sing song-like sound of the lines. It also makes it easier, and perhaps more fun for a child to hear read aloud, or read themselves.  

The technique can be seen taking shape more prominently as anaphora , or the repetition of a word or phrase at the beginning of a line. Milne makes use of the same phrases over and over again as the childish speaker describes what he would do if he were king. The words “If and “I” begin most of the lines.  

Analysis of If I Were King

Lines 1-4  .

I often wish I were a King, And then I could do anything. If only I were King of Spain, I’d take my hat off in the rain.

In the first line of ‘If I Were King’ the speaker begins by making the simple statement that he often wishes that he were “a King.” He has a very clear image in mind of what this means, and, as might be expected, it is charmingly humorous. This speaker is very clearly a child and therefore his ideas of what a king is and does are tinged by his youthful ignorance.  

He believes, perhaps rightly in some instances, that if he were a king then he “could do anything.” He reaches out in the next lines to try to think of all the fun and interesting things he’d have the power to do.

The speaker also moves through a number of different countries and activities. Many of these are on the speaker’s mind (probably) because his parents or some other authority figure told him he can’t do them. In lines three and four he imagines himself as the “King of Spain.” If this was the case then he’d take his hat off “in the rain.” This is such a random and strange thing to want to do it has to be connected to a very specific set of circumstances. Maybe he tried to take his hat off recently and a parent told him no.  

Lines 5-8  

If only I were King of France, I wouldn’t brush my hair for aunts. I think, if I were King of Greece, I’d push things off the mantelpiece.

In lines five and six the speaker brings up another country, this time France. He thinks that if he were the “King of France” that he’d be able to decide when and how he does his hair. This statement in particular seems quite relatable to a child’s experience. He would choose not to “brush [his] hair for aunts.”  

This phrase paints a very clear picture of a child who is reigned in when family members come to visit. He has to clean himself up in order to look presentable for “aunt,” or any other rarely seen relation.  

In lines seven and eight he pushes back against his family members by wishing that he could “push things off the mantlepiece.” This statement is different from the others. It shows the irritation the child feels over the regulated moments of his life. It is connected to the desire not to brush his hair and certainly seems like something an angry king might do.  

Lines 9-12  

If I were King of Norroway, I’d ask an elephant to stay. If I were King of Babylon, I’d leave my button gloves undone.

The next lines are more humorous and less tyrannical. The speaker wishes that he could become the “King of Norroway.” The addition of a syllable in the word “Norway” forces the meter into the same form but also adds a funny twist as if the child isn’t quite sure of the name of the country. He thinks about how cool it would be to have “an elephant…stay.” He could ask for and keep any animal he wanted if he were king. There would be no one to stop him.  

He also wonders about being the “King of Babylon.” In this scenario, he would “leave [his] button gloves undone.” This reads as another protest against the rules parents give their children.  

Lines 13-16

If I were King of Timbuctoo, I’d think of lovely things to do. If I were King of anything, I’d tell the soldiers, “I’m the King!”

In the final four lines, the speaker thinks about becoming the “King of Timbuctoo.” There is less definition to this position. All he knows is that he’d “think of lovely things to do.” This leaves his options wide open for whatever he can think of.  

The last lines show the child’s need (again) to have some power over his own life. He’d go up to the soldiers at his command and tell them that he is the king. There is no reason for him to do this, except to assert his control over someone else. This speaks to the helplessness and powerlessness that one can experience as a child.

If I were a King Paragraph for Class 4 & 5

imaginative boy

If I were a king, I would have asked masons to create a beautiful and colourful palace near seashore. My palace would have a beautiful garden where birds would sing song all day and squirrels would sit on branches of trees eating nuts. There would have been many horses and elephants while I would have a personal horse, white in colour. This horse must have been the fastest in the country. I would have built a large playground, where all my friends who were Kings of neighbouring countries, would have come to play together. As a King, I would have been responsible for maintaining discipline in the country and punishing the bad people. The thieves arrested by my guards would be sent to a jail and kept there until they could create things similar to what they tried to steal, with the same perfection as the original. My country would not attack any other country for expansion and would be against war. However, had anyone attacked our country, we would have been strong enough to defeat them. I would have set up big schools where children from poor family would receive education free of cost. The schools would have large libraries full of story books. My country would be clean and beautified with gardens full of flowers. No one would be allowed to throw litter, those who disobeyed this rule would have been punished by asking them to clean the area regularly for one week. My kingdom would have been strongest, peaceful where all my subjects, ministers and soldiers would have lived a fearless and happy life.

Untold Dylan

The meaning behind the music and words of Bob Dylan

Untold Dylan

“If I Was A King”: Bob Dylan For Dummies

By Larry Fyffe

With a focus on the lyrics of his songs, Bob Dylan presents a narrative through them that is highly consistent.

And it goes – The God of the Old Testament is a real tough-guy when He’s not obeyed:

In the city is left desolation And the gate is smitten with destruction (Isaiah 24 :12)

So it seems best to say nice things about God, and follow the orders of His superhuman crew; else bad things a-gonna happen to you – just like the bad stuff that happens to Adam and Eve:

O Lord, thou art my God I will exalt thee I will praise thy name …. For thou hast made the city a heap (Isaiah 25:1,2)

Dylan takes note of William Blake who refers to these verses of Isaiah when the poet criticizes the established religious order of his time. Blake castigates biblical ‘reformer’ Emanuel Swedenborg for helping God and Jesus escape to the outside of the physical Universe when they are most needed in town – leaving people on their own.

Blake claims that an artist, using imagination to the fullest, can become a God, be like the human Jesus, and create a mythological world of one’s own with tigers and lambs in it.

Swedenborg, according to Blake, instead stifles the creative imagination – folds it up:

Swedenborg is the angel sitting at the tomb His writings are the linen clothes folded up (William Blake: The Marriage Of Heaven And Hell)

Singer/songwriter Bob Dylan picks up the story:

How does it feel To be on your own With no direction home Like a complete unknown Like a rolling stone? ( Bob Dylan: Like A Rolling Stone )

There must be some way out of here, says Dylan. He’s a-gonna unroll the linen clothes, and roll the stone away from the tomb. Not so fast, Frederich Nietzsche interrupts – the heavenly life is reserved just for powerful masters. Ah, but if they’re lucky, innovative people who seek to get away from the status quo, have ‘Desolation Row’ to escape to, sings Dylan:

At midnight all the agents of the superhuman crew Come out and round up everyone that knows more than they do Then they bring them to the factory where the heart-attack machine Is strapped across their shoulders, and then the kerosene is brought down from the castles by insurance men who go Check to see that nobody is escaping to Desolation Row ( Bob Dylan: Desolation Row )

In the French Quarter of Desolate City, the singer/songwriter befriends a poet who’s sleepin’ in the alleyway – and you’d never know it, but he was famous not that long ago in the musical ‘The Three Penny Opera’, as well as in the movie ‘If I Were A King’.

Dylan finds a kindred spirit in the poet – Francois Villon knows how it feels to be on your own on Desolation Row:

Have pity now, have pity now on me If you at least would, friend of mine I’m in the depths, not holly or may In exile where I have been consigned By fortune, as God too has designed (Francois Villon: Epistre)

Inverting the thoughts of Swedenborg and other theologians who build walls that trap human beings in a dark physical world, Villon and Dylan see a light that comes shining from friendship and love; there’s something that does not love a wall; that wants it down:

He was a friend of mine He was a friend of mine Everything I think about him now Lord, I just can’t keep from cryin’ ‘Cause he was a friend of mine He died on the road He died on the road He never had enough money To pay his room and board He was a friend of mine ( He Was A Friend Of Mine )

From the rogue poetry of Villon, Dylan gains knowledge – no sense asking for directions to a home in heaven when you’re home on earth with Mom and God chasing after you:

If I was a king, I’d walk the straight and narrow With a hundred stallions following me And if I were a rogue, I’d leave at midnight in the barrow With the Lone Ranger after me Well, I rode six mare; I’d lay the wagon by the spare road And here I stand with you facin’ me And O Lord – the cost, my blood and my marrow With your hand always chasin’ me Well, I’d give all I had to tell her just one word And for a kiss, I’d throw it all into the sea Ah, but here I stand on a lake without a sparrow None at hand to comfort me And if I was a rogue, I’d give her all of my luck And take my chances with that lake and this blue sea ( Bob Dylan: If I Was A King ~ Emmett Sherlock )

Best to dance like Jesus, and sing like a sparrow.

and i f i was a king i ll give all my land off to her and let them rolling after me an if i was a rogue i ll give her all of my luck take my chances with that land to the sea

i stand by her road in a lonely bottom i ve stood there many times before this you see and not once you broken my heart off with a seal finally leaking after me i swore by her by her opulent maitress while she rolling lonely back on me i swore by her name that if she went i ll will go after and a lone ranger lurking after me if i was a king i will giver her all my castles i ll give her all my land to her tiare and if i was a rogue i would still her away from her majesty-mother and take my chances in the deep blue sea and hard il l stand here by the fountain with her ready to shelter me chased by rein and slow waitin in the seven lonely hallways chasin me but i can not flee

If You Were King or Queen of the World, What Would You Do?

By carey kinsolving.

October 16, 2011 4 min read

"I would be normal, and if someone did something wrong, I would send him to the dungeon," says Claire, age 6.

Yikes! Claire, if you consider the dungeon normal punishment for bad behavior, dare we ask what you would do for a serious crime? Perhaps, you've seen too many movies set in medieval times.

"If I were queen, everybody would serve God, or they would go to jail," says Autumn, 9. "If they still don't learn their lesson by the time they die, just remember they don't serve breakfast in hell."

Autumn, no one will ever accuse you of holding back. With that attitude, you'll probably never serve as a diplomat at the United Nations. Just remember that conversion by force is no conversion at all.

Jesus never took up the sword to persuade. He restored the ear of a man who came to arrest him after the Apostle Peter cut it off. "Put your sword in its place, for all who take the sword will perish by the sword," Jesus told Peter (Matthew 26:52).

Christians should never use force to make anyone believe in the Lord Jesus as Savior. Neither should anyone be forced to follow Jesus as a disciple.

Jesus had unimaginable power. Yet he wept over Jerusalem, saying that he wanted to gather the Jews to himself as a hen gathers her chicks, but they wouldn't come to him (Matthew 23:37-39). Jesus foresaw the coming destruction in A.D. 70, when the Romans would leave Jerusalem in ruins, and the nation would cease to exist.

Under the reign of "King" Andrew, 11, "Everyone would be told about Jesus. They would have a choice and not be forced."

English clergyman Roger Williams founded Rhode Island to create a haven for religious dissenters. Williams sometimes debated with leaders of Christian sects whom he considered heretics, but he refrained from using his power as a government leader to coerce. The Rhode Island experiment worked so well that the framers of our Constitution borrowed heavily from its constitution.

Williams' ideas are not welcome in some places today. I'll never forget my conversation in the early 1990s at the Saudi Arabian Embassy in Washington, D.C. As part of a journalism student group, I asked a Saudi representative if it were true that people who convert from Islam to another religion in his country were killed. Without any hesitancy, our Saudi host said the families usually do the killing. I asked him if the Saudi government prosecuted the murdering family members. "No," he said.

Is it any wonder that Osama bin Laden and other terrorist thugs grew up in Saudi Arabia?

"If I were king of the world, I would help the poor people and give them food and clothes," says William, 8. "I would teach everyone about God."

William, you may not realize it, but you are a king, especially with your attitude. The Bible says Christians are kings and priests to God (Revelation 1:6).

Think about this: Two kingdoms struggle for dominance the world over. One uses hate, greed and raw power to enforce its will upon others in the name of politics or religion. The other kingdom advances by love, kindness and humility. Each kingdom has its rulers. One seeks to dominate, while the other looks for opportunities to serve.

Memorize this truth: "Whoever desires to become great among you, let him be your servant" (Matthew 20:26).

Ask this question: To which kingdom do you belong?

The Kings Coronation Activity for Young Students

Are you looking for a fun and engaging way to teach your students about the King’s Coronation? Why not get them to think about what they would do if they were the King or Queen with this cute write-and-craft activity?

Before giving this activity to your students, explain the role of a King or Queen as the ruler of a monarchy. Brainstorm what their role may entail and what are some things that past Kings and Queens have done for their community. This can give your students some ideas of what they may write on this fun writing task.

Learning About the New Monarch

The King’s coronation is an important topic for children in England to explore; here are some reasons:

  • Understanding current events – the new monarchy is an important part of England’s current events.
  • Understanding history – the new monarchy is part of England’s history.
  • Cultural awareness – the new monarchy is an important part of English culture.
  • Developing critical thinking skills – learning about the new monarchy can help children develop critical thinking skills.

✂️ Give Them the (Safety) Scissors 

This template makes for a bonus cutting skills activity, depending on your students’ ages and abilities. 

With adult supervision, cutting skills help students work multiple muscle groups and their brains, plus:

  • strengthen finger and hand muscles
  • build dexterity and fine motor skills
  • improve hand-eye coordination
  • develop focus and attention.

And all of these skills are necessary to use a pencil and a fork; button a shirt and tie shoes; write, type and swipe.

Scissor skills are brain and muscle skills! 

Cute King’s Coronation Display for the Classroom

Once you’ve used the drop-down beside the download button, choose between the PDF or editable Google Slides version of this resource. Once, your students have completed this fun activity – this will create a gorgeous classroom display for your classroom!
