Question

In the poem dot, the poet begins with a quarrel between two neighbours over a “strip of land

between their ancestral plots”. Why does the poet think that such disputes are meaningless​

Answer 1

The writer thinks that such disputes are meaningless because we do not own everything that we use to live and survive in our daily life.

Explanation:

• To elaborate on this idea, the poet gave examples of water, air, etc. Air is used to breathe, and water is used for drinking. Both of these things are not owned by any human.

• He also thinks matters of land should be solved in a friendly manner, rather than being very aggressive about it and taking it from one generation to another.
