Answer:
A. Was the poet pretending to be someone else ? Explain.
Yes, the poet was pretending to be ‘great’. He was always told by the people around him that he was the greatest player and could easily prove himself when playing with anyone else. This made him overconfident and wear a coat of pretense.
B. Why does he decide to be himself ?
He decides to be himself as he finds it better to accept his own flaws and mistakes rather than pretending to be someone great.
C. How does this decision affect his life ?
This decision of being himself helps him make his play better, improve himself and stop being overconfident. This decision also helps him grow up as a better human being.
