Answer 2

Explanation:

In the third stanza he is talking about when people ask you to come again and say “feel at home” you go there once, twice and the third time they will not let you in thinking that you are a pest and that they do not wanted to see you anymore. The words “feel at home” is used for when you want a guest to feel welcomed and that they belong in that household. Here he mentions that “I find the doors shut on me” this shows that they do not even open the door to tell him that he is not wanted and the moment but instead leaves the door closed keeping him standing outside. This also shows that when people speak they lie not telling the truth but just saying something nice to grasp their heart.

The poem "Once Upon a Time" by Nigeria poet Gabriel Okara is written from the perspective of a parent addressing his young son. The title and opening line, "Once upon a time," frame the poem as a kind of bedtime story or fairy tale, as the father reminisces about a (now lost) time of openness, kindness, and honesty.
