Question

‘The field was white, as if covered with salt.’ This is how the field is

described after the hailstorm. The pelting hailstones could have been easily

seen as sugar cubes. Do you think comparing it with sugar would have

been more appropriate? Why/ Why not?​

Answer 1

Answer:

(1) lencho says these words because his crop was completely destroyed with a hailstorm, everywhere it seems white with snow which is seen like white salts.

(2) The hailstorm spoiled Lencho's fields totally that's why it is said that the field was white as if covered with salt. ii Lencho and his family knew the implications the hailstorm would have on their lives

(3) No, comparing it with sugar would not be considered appropriate. This is because sugar signifies sweetness which can be considered as metaphor for good things whereas salt can be used as a metaphor for bad things. In the story the hailstorm had brought a lot of trouble and loss to Lencho's family.
