उत्तर १
Title: The stick – together families.
Author: Edgar Albert Guest.
Characters: Brothers and Sisters of Joint family and nuclear family.
Theme: There is nothing greater than a joint family.
In his poem, “The Stick – together families” the poet brings out the difference in the attitudes of children living in joint family and the nuclear family. The joint families are the happiest of all. The gladdest people are the children from the stick – together families who circle near the fireside. No power except death can break them. But the brothers and sisters from the nuclear families take separate ways.
The poor and the rich people imagine themselves to be wise. They are quick enough to shatter their family ties. Each one goes searching for pleasure in their own selected way. They harvest its bitterness and find empty joy.
But the children of the joint family are the wisest. When the busy day is done they share their fun together. The children of the joint family win the joy of earth. The old home roof shelters all the brothers and sisters. However, there is a chance for the wandering brothers to come back and join the stick–together families at their fireside and have fun.
“The Stick – together families are the happiest of all”.
