Answers
Answer:
Explanation:
The question has been taken from the poem The Ball written by John Berryman. it is given in class X First Flight book. In the poem the young boy playing near the harbour lost his ball. The boy saw his ball rolling away from him into the water.
Feeling very sad and desperate at the loss of his ball, the boy stood there watching it for long. Nothing could actually comfort the mind at the moment.
This particular incident might seem to be very small and insignificant but it deals with a very deeper and important lesson of life. It prepares one gradually to face the harsh realities of life.
It has a larger meaning that prepares a person to face those deeper moments when life snatches what is dear to us.It is a journey towards maturity.One needs to be careful towatds materialistic possessions. It is a training where we need to overcome the losses of our belongings.
We must learn to bear the loss bravely and move on in life.One shouldn't be attached emotionally to materialistic things.
