4. Generalization
“If” by Rudyard Kipling is written as if a
father is talking to his son, giving his son
advice on the way to behave to obtain the
reputation of being an outstanding citizen of
the community and the world.

In stanzas 2 to 3, the father is providing

examples of actions that are desirable, as
 opposed attitudes that would not serve the son
well in building constructive relationships
with others.

In the last stanza of the poem, the father urges

his son to be generous and considerate in his
attitude toward others, striving to do the best
he can personally without demanding the
standard of others. “ If’ the son can succeed in
the following this advice, he will attain the
goal of becoming “ a Man” in possession of
“the Earth and everything that’s in it.”
