Active member

Active member

Active member

Ya I think 'it' is better !!!!!!!

Active member

in the poem, they've referred to the cloud as 'the daughter' of earth and water. so its definitely got to be a she

hey par poem mein cloud is personized.....aise toh so many things r given abt a cloud which it can neva do...so pllllz prefer she....infact it can b asked as a question...

Active member

we have to use 'she' in a question where the question is about the cloud being personified.......but in other places 'it' can be used.......

Active member

noo u r gettin confused..at one place the cloud is personified as the daughter..but dont forget in the previous stanza..it is compared to a victorious king who goes under the triumphal arch...
the basic idea is ...durin personification..u jus dunn care much abt the gender..

Active member

it is the best pronoun for cloud

i saw it in the workbook too...it has been used while giving the summary of the stanzas....go through your wbs...but even i prefer it only...y worry so much about pronoun?

Central Idea:

The cloud performs various functions, takes many forms and undergoes different ecepreinces.
It brings showers for the thirsting flowers and shade for the tender leaves.
It comes with rain hailstorms and snow.
The lightening is pilot and guides its course over the land., the land the seam, the streams rivers and mountains.
It is created by the wedding of the earth and water. Then it is adopted as a child and fostered by the sky. It has the power to destroy and recreate itself many times and in many forms
