Question

Read the extracts and answer the following Questions:


The wind blows out weak fires

He makes strong fires roar and flourish

His friendship is good

We praise him every day.



Questions:
(i) What does it do with strong fires?

(ii) Why does the poet say that his friendship is good​

Answer 1

a)The poet, Subramanya Bharathiar, personifies weak-hearted timid persons who do not have the strength to face and overcome the challenges of life to weak fires. Like how the wind will pull down a weak fire, the poet says that if we are not strong in our life, we will also be pulled down by the various challenges of life.

b) People who are mentally strong enough to withstand any pressure in life and ready to face any challenge will have the inner strength to overcome or fight with the issue and come out successfully. Like how a heavy fire can spread and rage even more due to the movement of wind; if we are strong, challenges will make us even stronger and resilient to face any situation in the world to successfully flourish in it.
