Nowadays, conversations with well-wishers are an almost daily occurrence. “I’ll be coming out of the supermarket and someone will say, ‘I’m so glad you’re alive.’ And I can’t be grumpy about that. Rather than being indifferent, people are grateful that I’m still here. I think that’s pretty wonderful.” This raises a question in the philosophy of mind relating to consciousness: Do we truly know what is it like to be sad, or is it an experience that we cannot describe? One important philosophical view holds that the feeling component of an emotion like sadness cannot be captured in language. My experience of looking at the sunset is going to be different from yours. Some philosophers think that this experience is not unique, but simply part of a brain state, that can be understood through modern psychology. Under the Cranes (23 November 2012).

Charlie] would hold his nose high in the air and take long deep sniffs of the gorgeous chocolatey smell all around him.Oh, how he loved that smell!And, oh, how he wished he could go inside the factory and see what it was like!'However, Rosen has also been criticised by traditionalists, as he comments in Did I Hear You Write?: ‘The “he-doesn’t-write-poetry” number’. His reaction to this displays a profound childlike wisdom: ‘Well, don’t call it poetry, then, call it “Bits” or “Stuff” ’. What is both delightful and important about Rosen’s style is that, like Dahl’s, it involves the reader in an active engagement with the text (as demonstrated in the two ‘chocolate’ quotations, above). This corresponds with Rosen’s criticism of the ‘Jug and Mug’ theory of learning - in his works, particularly his poems, children are encouraged to interact, to think and, most importantly, to feel in relation to the text, rather than simply being ‘told’ something. Rosen's mother, Connie (née Isakofsky; 1920–1976), worked as a secretary at the Daily Worker and later as a primary school teacher and training college lecturer. She had attended Central Foundation Girls' School, where she made friends such as Bertha Sokoloff. She met Harold in 1935, when both were aged 15, as they were both members of the Young Communist League. They participated in the Battle of Cable Street together. As a young couple, they settled in Pinner, Middlesex. They left the Communist Party in 1957. Rosen never joined, but his parents' activities influenced his childhood. For example, their acquaintance with the bohemian literary figure Beatrice Hastings made an impression on him as a child. [5] [8]
