Question

boy
2. Why was the boy barefoot?

Answer 1

Answer:

Bare feet have come to symbolize innocence or childhood in a glorifying perception of freedom from real-life requirements. The connection to childhood and innocence, as well as the simple joys of country life, are embodied in the poem " The Barefoot Boy " by John Greenleaf Whittier, published in 1855.

Answer 2

Answer:

The boy is barefoot because the shoes are used to symbolize being further away from nature.

In one of the verses, a man is referred to as a republican while the boy is referred to as a prince.

The poet explains that the man has money while the boy has the world of learning.
