The thought which prompted the poet ro plant the cherry tree seed
Answers
Answer:
The Cherry tree is a symbol of survival and it escapes almost eaten by a goat and being cut with the grass. Just as human beings struggle in life so too does the cherry tree. But the cherry tree shows resilience and the ability to withstand adversities.
Rakesh is a guardian to the cherry tree. He fulfils his responsibility and in the end, is rewarded for his efforts. The cherry seed matures into a fruit-bearing tree just like children grow into adulthood and look after their parents in old age.
Furthermore, Rakesh’s grandfather fulfils his responsibility towards Rakesh in advising him about living a healthy life. He is the light that Rakesh needs to walk on the right path in life. He is nurturing Rakesh just like he is nurturing his cherry tree.
Another theme of the story is the ability to start something new and help it to reach its potential. Through toil and determination, Rakesh helps the cherry tree to grow stronger. Rakesh feels proud of the cherry tree just like a parent is proud of his/her ward.
