Answers
Answer:
The boy has lost his ball while playing. The poet says that from this loss, the boy will learn in his years, what it means to lose something. Thus he will understand the nature of loss or how to face and cope up with losses one suffers in life.
Answer:
John Berryman in his poem,'The Ball Poem,' projected that in this 'world of possesions,' suffering from 'grief' is common. However, one must understand the 'epistemology of loss' and not be materialistic because no 'external' forces, not even 'money' is capable enough to replace what was once lost. Additionally, everyone must understand that everything we seem to own is gifts from God, and can be taken away anytime. Thus, we must be prepared to face loss and endeavour the sorrow after being deprived of something we nurtured. Hence, we must 'stand up' and move on with our life without grieving about it.
