Write the appreciation of the poem The Little Boy and The Old Man '
Answers
Answer:
I sympathise with the little boy and the old man as they are neglected by others in life. The fact that both of them dropped their spoons, shows that they are clumsy, wet their pants and cry show that they cannot contol their body and emotions. They thus have the same bad habits and find themselves quite similar with only a difference which is age. Once the boy said that the grown-ups don't pay attention to him, the old man held his hand tightly as he had also gone through the exact same thing as the boy, being neglected. The old man understands how the little boy feels and used actions to convey the message that he is also in the same boat as the boy. The old man can be seen to be the future when he is of no use and others, for example his children, leave him alone as they are busy contributing to the society that they forgot about him. The little boy could be seen as the past when he has not learnt many things in life yet and others, for example his parents, also neglect him as he too, is of no contribution to the society and the parents have to work. In this poem you can see the similarities in their habits but also the fact that they are left alone, neglected by the adult population because of work. The old man represents what the future would be like and the little boy, the past. That is what makes them different.
Please make me brainlist.

Explanation:
- The poem starts with the little boy saying that many a time he drops the spoon and the little old man says that it happens to him too. This indicates that both of them are so weak that the spoon falls from their hands. The boy then whispers to the old man’s ears and tells him that he also wets his pants to which the old man replies humorously that it happens to him too. Both the little boy and the old man have the same habits, both of them cry at times.
- But the worst feeling for them is when the adults do not pay attention to them, the old man totally relates to the boy and sighs. The fact that both of them dropped their spoons, that they were annoying, and that their pants were wet and crying shows that they could not control their body and emotions. Thus, they have the same bad habits and are similar to themselves only in age difference.
- When the boy said that the adults did not pay attention to him, the old man held his hand and went through the same thing as the boy because he too was neglected. The old man understood the little boy’s feelings and used his actions to convey the message that he was in the same boat as the boy. When there is no benefit, the old man can be seen as the future, leaving him alone because others, for example, his children, are busy contributing to the community that has forgotten about him.
- The little boy can be seen in the past by others who have not yet learned much in life, for example, parents neglecting him has no contribution to society and parents need to act.
