A HOT DAY IN SUMMER
A hot day in summer is sultry and scorching. It is full of sweat and perspiration. One wishes a cold bath again and again. But even then there is no rest or respite. The atmosphere is sick and stuffy. The sun is bright and burning. It is as hot as the fire itself. It is a burning ball of fire. The earth is dry and parched. The hot winds blow the day and night.
It was the month of June. It was the hottest day of the season. From early morning the wind was silent and motionless. The trees and plantswere unmoving and stationary. The leaves were not moving at all. The birds and beasts were all gasping for breath. The blistering heat was continuing. The sun was getting hotter and hotter every moment. The summer day was becoming intolerable. Even the walls and floors were burning. Nothing could be touched. Everything was excessively hot.
It was noon. The sun was right over the head. It was showering fire. One felt thirsty. One drank water again and again, but still one was awfully dissatisfied. Ice and cold water were in much demand. But they could not provide any comfort to this irritating bodies. The bazars were not huming with any activity at all. They were wearing a cloak of sickness and suffocation. Fans and coolers were of little help, they were giving hot air. This air proved stiffling. A few minutes walk on the road was highly uncomfortable.
By the evening there was a little respite from the heat. The temperature of the day came doen a little. People began to move in the bazars and on the roads. They wanted to finish their daily chores. But to their bad luck, the light is tripped. Suffocation increased again. Everyone was helpless. Thus passed the hottest day.

Holden goes to Central Park in New York City, and sits by the frozen pond where, in the Spring, the ducks would be swimming. He is despondent, having left the hotel because of his confrontation with Maurice. He sits there thinking that he could get pneumonia and die.
He starts to think about his death and his funeral, who would attend, then he remembers that his mother is still mourning the loss of her son, Allie. The thought of his sister Phoebe being sad at his death is what stops Holden from staying in the park and freezing to death.
It is his love for his sister that keeps Holden from committing suicide
I am unable to understand the question
Poetry is literature written in stanzas and lines that uses rhythm to express feelings and ideas. Poets will pay particular attention to the length, placement and grouping of lines and stanzas. This is called form. Lines or whole stanzas can be rearranged in order to create a specific effect on the reader. One example is the sonnet, which is a 14 line poem with a specific rhyme scheme. The key with sonnets is that most end with a pair of lines set apart from the rest. Setting these two lines aside gives emphasis to their content, so whatever message is being sent will be given more importance. Another aspect of the structure of poems is the rhythm, which is the beat of the poem. This is usually measured in meters, which are sets of stressed and unstressed syllables. Poets often arrange words according to meter in order to create specific sounds or beats. Think about any song (which is a type of poem) that you sing along to. Think about the rhythm of the music and the words. Is the singer angry? Or sad? The notes and meter might at first be fast, harsh, or short, while later it might be slow, soft, and drawn-out. These rhythms affect the overall message. Generally speaking, the structure of the poem has to do with the overall organization of the thought and the lines. The structure also suggest the conventional pattern of sound that may be used by the reader to convey the message of the poem.
