Question

‘Hunger is greater than fear’ justify the statement in context to the story His First Flight (in 100 words),class 10th

Answer 1

Q1)Why was the young seagull afraid to fly? Do you think all young birds are afraid to make their first flight, or are some birds more timid than others? Do you think a human baby also finds it a challenge to take its first steps?

$\implies$The young seagull was afraid to fly as it was his first flight. On seeing the great expanse of sea stretched beneath, he became scared that if he takes off , his wings would give away. All birds are afraid to make their first flight. Some birds just take more time and need to be pushed to overcome their fear.

Q2)“The sight of the food maddened him.” What does this suggest? What compelled the young seagull to finally fly?

$\implies$The young seagull had not eaten anything since a long time. Hisq hunger was only intensified when he saw his mother tearing a piece of fish just the way he loved to do. This sight absolutely maddened him and he was ready to do anything to satisfy his hunger. It was this irresistible hunger that compelled the young seagull to fly. His mother had flown towards him with a piece of fish but halted almost within reach of his beak. Maddened by hunger, he leapt at the fish completely forgetting his fear of flying.
