2. This is a story of a freedom – fighter who fought against the white people for the Black people’s rights in America. Rosa Parks was a working woman. One day after her work she was traveling in a bus. The bus was full of people. There were white people and Black people in the Bus. There was a rule at that time in 1955 that in a bus if there is a vacant seat it would be of the white people. The Black people were not supposed to sit there. Rosa Parks protested against this rule. When a white man approached her she did not get up and give the seat. This made the bus driver angry. He called the police and the police arrested Rosa Parks. Then there was a revolution among the Black people.
This resulted in the freedom struggle of the Blacks in America. In the court, there were many people who argued for her rights. Thus the white people came to know that there should not be any difference between the white people and Black people. This incident in the bus changed millions of minds of Americans. This awareness was made in their minds by the famous Indian leader Mahatma Gandhi; the writer thanks Gandhiji for his great ideas without which the Black people would not have achieved their rights.
3. Appreciation of the poem.
Song of the flower is a beautiful poem about nature and its relationship with living beings. This poem was written by Khalil Gibran, the famous Lebanese poet. This poem speaks about the life cycle of a flower and its experience. The flower in the poem is a representative of every aspect of nature. The flower claims that it is a kind word uttered and repeated by nature’s voice. It is a star fallen from the sky. The sky is referred as ‘the blue tent’. All the four seasons play vital roles in the life of the flower. The flower is conceived by winter, given birth by spring, reached by summer and eternal sleep by autumn. The flower heralds the coming of the light in the dawn. It bids farewell to the light in the evening.
The plains are decorated with beautiful flowers. The air is filled with the lovely fragrance of the flower. Days and nights shower love, care and affection on the flower lavishly. The flower enjoys nature as much as it can. To the flower dew is wine. It sings with- the birds and dances according to the rhythm of the swaying grass. The poet is impressed by the beautiful image of nature. The flower becomes a part of joy as well as sorrow because it is used on occasions of wedding and funeral. The poem teaches us how to deal with life’s struggles, to learn from our past and face the future with confidence and hope. The poet uses appropriate similes and metaphors in the poem, that makes the poem more beautiful.
