Step 1: Choice of poem.
The chosen poem is *“A Tiger in the Zoo”* by Leslie Norris, which describes the condition of a caged tiger.
Step 2: Extract lines.
The four lines highlight the tiger’s restricted movement inside the cage and his suppressed anger.
Step 3: Conclusion.
These lines bring out the contrast between the natural majesty of the tiger and his pitiable life in captivity.
