Question

In “Disappointed” by Paul Laurence Dunbar, the story of an old man planting an orchard symbolizes ____.

Answer 1

The story of the old man planting in the orchard symbolizes life.

Why is life symbolized in the orchard?

• By reading the poem, we can see that the old man decides to plant in the orchard as a way to have good fruit.

• He is very dedicated to the plantation and tries to do everything to make it successful.

• However, bad weather conditions destroy everything he worked to achieve.

• The old man is desolate, but he hears a lost voice asking him to start work again.

Just like the old man's orchard, we need to dedicate ourselves to our life, which will have good times and bad times, where we will have to start over and dedicate ourselves to our goals again.
