Short Answer Question.

Question 1.
What are the things the wind does in the first stanza?
Ans: The poem starts with the poet describing the violent face of the wind. Wind with its violent action,
especially during a natural calamity, breaks off the shutters of windows and scatters the papers in the
room. It also throws down books from the shelf, tears the pages of the books, and brings down shelf.
Question 2.
What does the poet say the wind God winnows?
Ans: The poet has compared the traditional farming practices of winnowing with the destruction that
the wind creates during a natural calamity. Winnowing is a constructive process and helps us collect
grains for survival. On the other hand, the fierce wind, like the process of winnowing uproots all the
crumbling homes, wood, bodies, lives, and hearts. It crushes and removes them entirely and only the
best survives.

Question 3.
What should we do to make friends with the wind?
Ans: As human beings, we don't hold the strength to stand against nature. To make friends with them
we need to build strong homes. We should also make ourselves physically and mentally strong by
building strong, firm bodies and having steadfast hearts so that next time when such a calamity hits the
area again, they are ready to combat and withstand it physically and emotionally.

Long Answer Questions:

Question 1:
What challenges are posed by wind in the life of the poet and the common man?
Answer:
According to the poet, wind disrupts our everyday life. Wind, and accompanying rain, are forces of
nature that are perceived as the tempest forces which create impediments in a man’s life. Just as our
problems which can arise from nowhere, wind can hit us at any time of our life. It mocks the weak and
the frail. For frail people, literally and metaphorically, wind creates barriers. Winds do not let a frail body
or a frail mind survive but on the other hand if you are strong, you have the power and the will to
survive and fight back, wind can never be a threat to your being.
