Question

What do you understand of the conflict in the poet’s conscience?

Answer 1

Poet observes the nature and thought of her fantasies in the sand as she plays with her brother. Along with these beautiful moments, she also comes to experience her concern, fear, and the pain of her great old grandmother for their ancestral house, which is in a dreadful condition. The conflict between the satisfying fantasies of a child and the bitter realities that money-making is not easy & led to the defeat of her promise made to her great grandmother that she will keep the house as it is. These are the conflicts that show things, and situations should be dealt with the reality. We should always accept the bitter truth of life while moving forward in it.
