Question

give one quality of the shadow and support it with evidence from the poet (the shadow)​

Answer 1

Answer:

As this poem is for children, it is written from the perspective of a young child who finds pleasure in the company of his own shadow. He is amazed to see how his shadow follows him everywhere. His innocent mind thinks that the shadow is afraid of being alone. That is why he sticks to him all the time. To his surprise, the shadow can get taller, smaller and sometimes invisible. However, one day, when he wakes up before the sunrise, he fails to find his shadow around. Finding himself alone, he assumes that the shadow must be sleeping because he does not understand the science involved in it. However, what allures the reader is the way the poet has captured the imagination of a child.
