why does boy get upset in the ball poem
Answers
Answer:
The poet is talking about a boy who has lost his ball. He wants to know about him and his reaction because he has lost his ball. ... The poet says that there is no benefit of consoling the boy by saying that he will get another ball because he has other balls too. He says so because the boy is feeling very sad.
The boy had lost his ball. Losing a ball may seem to be an insignificant event but for the boy it wasn't. For him it was the first time when he lost his beloved possession. He had the ball for a long time. As he lost it, he felt that along with it he has also lost his childhood memories.
He saw his ball merrily bouncing and going inside the harbour. But he could do nothing. He stood rigid, stumbling and looking into the harbour.
