Question

How does the poet feel when he rides the bicycle down the hill

Answer 1

Answer:

The poet talks about how he waits at the top of the hill in anticipation of an exhilarating ride and then starts rolling down slowly. As the bicycle picks up speed and the wind rushes by, he feels like he is flying and compares his joy to the freedom of a bird in flight. This ride downhill aids him in understanding the sense of independence that flying provides. 

But as the joyride comes to an end he realizes that all hills end in a valley, but if one has the determination to climb a long hill again, he will be rewarded with a joyous flight.
