Question

the role. of mother. in the chapter first flight
​

Answer 1

Explanation:

In the story His First Flight, the mother seagull is portrayed as a tough but motivating

character. She understood that her little one needed a lot of motivation to achieve

its goal of flying. Initially, she tried threatening the young seagull in many

ways but to no avail. Even as his parents and siblings flew high, he did not

make any attempt other than flapping his wings. This is because he was afraid

of falling down.

The mother gull

realized that the need to fly would make the little one do so. She took a piece

of fish and started approaching him. The hungry little seagull screamed in

delight. But, the mother stopped just beyond his reach. In his eagerness to get

the food, the young bird started diving. The mother rose a little higher and

the little seagull fell down when trying to dive. Slowly, he urged himself to

keep trying and made his first flight.

Thus, the mother motivated the young one to do what was expected of him, even if it meant that the latter had to fall down a few times. She knew very well that fear was the only thing in this world that actually had to be feared. So, she used food to arouse the little one’s need.
