Answer» 1. Poem brings out a contrast between birds and hunter. 2. Male bird is ‘necking’. The word can be interpreted in two different ways. 3. Hunter shoots down a bird and picking it up, throws it into a washing bag. 4. Birds are very graceful and beautiful but the hunter treats them carelessly 5. Hunter goes away but female bird stays there. Paragraph: The callousness of the hunters is brought out in the way the poet describes killing of a male sarus bird. It was shot when the bird had dipped its beak in the water. It seemed like it was trying to pull the reluctant sun out of the water at the rim of the horizon. The hunters were not touched by the beauty of the bird. They picked up the dead bird by its hands and jaws and flung it into a course bag as if it were a piece of dirty linen and the bag a washing bag. |
