Answer:
The Ball Poem” is a very subtle and beautiful poem about a little boy’s growing up. The poet sees this little boy one day when he has just lost his ball. The loss of his ball is teaching him that in life, we often lose things and they cannot be easily replaced. Such lessons are a part of growing up, and everyone has to learn them at some point in time or the other. However, it is painful for the poet to watch the boy in his sad state. He is sure that the ball, as well as the person who whistles by the boy, feels the same way as he does.

Because the Valley of Ashes is a train route connecting the East egg to West Egg in New York
Explanation:
The train always halts for about half a minute at the Valley of Ashes because the Valley of Ashes is a train stop, an important connection point between East and West Egg.
Tom mistress, Myrtle lives with her husband above a gas station in the Valley of Ashes. Hence on their way to New York, Tom insists that Nick gets off the train to get to see his mistress.
The Valley of Ashes is a strategic meeting point because it symbolises the persons involved - both Nick and Tom are nouveau-rich upper class people who usually transit through the Valley of Ashes, a symbol of hopelessness,neglect and poverty, to exploit the poor people there.
Myrtle on the other hand, even though she lives in the Valley of Ashes, dreams of living a life of affluence and power and the meeting with Tom is the only way she can live that dream of affluence even though it is at the expense of her husband and marriage. She, however doesn't seem to care about them both.
