Question

In the poem: "Hug O' War" By: Shel Silverstein I will not play at tug o' war. I'd rather play at hug o' war, Where everyone hugs Instead of tugs, Where everyone giggles And rolls on the rug, Where everyone kisses, And everyone grins, And everyone cuddles, And everyone wins What does does show? And explain about the poem

Answer 1

Answer:

It shows that love, acts of affection, and kindness are better than acts related to wars where people die and suffer. In these violent wars, there is no love or happiness, but in the war that he plays, he is trying to spread love and happiness.

Explanation:

Shek Silverstein in this poem is trying to say that he wants peace and that we should do more of the things that are the polar opposite of war, such as hug, kiss, play, and enjoy the company of other people and their love because that is a much better option than a war where there is death, suffering, and fights. He wants love to win in this war.
