follower Chapter ka Summary in Hindi:-
सारांश - Yeats के बाद सबसे अधिक जाने-माने आइरिस कवि Seamus Heaney हैं। उन्हें साहित्य के लिए 1995 ई. में नोबेल पुरस्कार प्रदान, किया गया था।
दी फॉलोवर (अनुसरण करने वाले) शीर्षक कविता में कवि ने सुन्दर ढंग से वर्णन किया है कि समय के साथ-साथ पिता एवं पुत्र की भूमिका में परिवर्तन होता है। आज के बच्चे कल के पिता बन जाते हैं। इस कविता में कवि ने इस तथ्य का सजीव वर्णन किया है। पुत्र अपने पिता के कार्य तथा उनकी निजी शैली का वर्णन करता है। किसान अपने घोड़े की सहायता से खेत जोतता है। वह अपने कार्य के प्रति सचेत है एवं कृषि के सभी कार्यवाही की ओर तीक्ष्ण दृष्टि रखता है। उसका पुत्र वहाँ है। बच्चा प्रकृति का आनन्द लेता है। उसे कभी-कभी उसके पिता घोड़े पर बैठा देते हैं। वह दौड़ता, खेलता और खेत में गिरता है। समय-समय पर वह पिता का अनुसरण करता है। अब उसके पिता वृद्ध हो गए हैं। पुत्र उनके उत्तरदायित्वो को अपने पर लेना चाहता है। वह चाहता है कि उसके पिता आराम करें और वह उनके जगह काम करे। जिस प्रकार पुत्र बचपन में लड़खड़ा कर गिरता था, अब बुढ़ापे के कारण उसके पिता लड़खड़ाकर गिरते हैं। वह अपने पिता की कार्यशैली का अनुसरण करना चाहता है। वह उनका अनुयायी बनना चाहता है। अपने बचपन में वह अपने पिता के कन्धे पर सवार होता था। अब उसकी इच्छा है कि उसके पिता उसके पीछे खड़े रहें ।
EXERCISE
A. Work in small groups and discuss the questions given e below:
Q. 1. How do people live in countryside ?
Ans. The people living in countryside lead their life in a very simple way. They wear simple clothes. They lead their life amidst nature. They avail the privilege of Nature. They work in fields. They cultivate fields. They grow crops, vegetables and fruits. They send all these products to market from where we buy all these things.
Q. 2. How is agriculture important for us ?
Ans. Agriculture is important for us because we get cereals, pulse, vegetables, fruits, cotton and spices and so many other things from agriculture.
Q. 3. What do you understand by fertile soil ?
Ans. Fertile soil bears bumper crops. If we have abundant crops, the economy of our country will definitely improve. If the country is economically sound, it may compete in the field of science and technology with the developed countries of the world.
Q. 4. Have you ever ploughed or seen a man ploughing? Briefly narrate the experience.
Ans. I have seen a man ploughing the field. The plough is made up of wood and sharp pointed tools of iron. Two bulls draw it. The farmer drives the plough. Thus the field is tilled.
B. 1. Answer the following questions briefly :
Q. 1. Why is the 'father' called an expert ?
Ans. He is an expert person because he ploughs the horses perfectly well. The horses are well within his control. The horses become ready to work even if he directs them in a slow voice.
Q. 2. What did he look like ?
Ans. He looked like an expert in ploughing the field. His shoulders resembled the sail on the boats or ships.
Q. 3. How resolute was he at his work?
Ans. He was a farmer and well-determined at his work. He was very particular to guide horses with a long narrow strap around their necks, rolling over the field, watching them ploughing the field.
Q. 4. What was he observing when he was ploughing?
Ans. He was observing the narrow trench made by plough to see if it was done exactly in a proper way. He was very particular in ploughing the field.
Q. 5. Why were his eyes 'narrowed and angled'?
Ans. His eyes were focused on the field and the horses only. He had done so to ensure that it was done properly. Narrowing and angling of his eyes suggest adjustment of focus to observe the movement of the horses and the work done.
Q. 6. What does 'mapping' suggest about his ploughing?
Ans. Mapping means the survey of the area where the work was going on. Here it means the supervision and observance of the ploughing.
B. 2. Answer the following questions briefly :
Q. 1. What was the child doing while his father was at work?
Ans. While his father was at work the child was playing and making merry, was dipping and rising on the ground following his father with slow heavy steps.
Q. 2. What did the child wish while following his father?
Ans. The child wanted to grow up and help his father in ploughing the field.
Q. 3. How was the child 'a nuisance' ?
Ans. The child was a nuisance because he was stumbling and sometimes falling down.
Q. 4. Why does the father not go away?
Ans. The son has undertaken the work of his father. Now his father remains behind him and guides him in his work. His father had been a farmer. He had a wide experience of farming. The son has little knowledge of all these things. So he has to acquire knowledge of the same from his father. Father would remain behind him and guide.
C.1. LONG ANSWER QUESTIONS:
Q. 1. Who is the follower in the poem-the father, the son or both? Explain.
Ans. In Heaney's poem 'Follower' the son is the follower of his father. The father took all care of his son when he was a child. He (father) worked in the field. He ploughed his field engaging horses for the purpose. At that time his son was a small child. He used to go along with his father there and play all day long. Sometimes his father rode him on the horses, sometimes on his shoulder. Now as he has become young he has taken up all the responsibilities of his father following his footsteps. So, he has become his follower.
Thus, it is clear that the son is the follower of his father.
Q. 2. Write a summary of the poem.
Ans. The summary of this poem has already been told above.
Q. 3. How does time influence the relationship between the son and the father ?
Ans. Time is the greatest factor in finding out the reality of life. It has been very well presented in the poem 'Follower'. The father labours hard for the welfare of his family. He looks after his family. He works in the field, ploughs it through his horses and sows the seeds in the field. The child occasionally goes there with his father. He plays there all day long under his father's guidance. Now he has grown up. His father has become old. There comes a change in their routine work. The son being a young person now, undertakes the responsibilities of his family and the father leads a peaceful relaxed life. The son has taken up all the cares and anxieties of his father.
Time has influenced the relationship between both of them. Now the son has undertaken all those works his father was doing in the past. Father leads a peaceful life, taking rest. It is time that has changed the life-style of both-the father and his son.
Q. 4. Describe how the poet has conveyed the feeling of the farmer's son.
Ans. In his poem 'Follower' Seamus Heaney conveyes the feelings of the son of a farmer. He remembers his childhood days when his father was labouring hard, day and night, to meet the requirements of his family. He had given entire affection to him. He had done hard labour to cultivate his field and never took complete rest. He was engaged in his work all the year round. He had done everything that his son asked for in his childhood. The son feels highly obliged and indebted to his father's sacrifices. Now as he has become a grown-up young man, he wants to relieve his father from all his duties and responsibilities and do all those works which his father (the farmer) had been doing. He wants to follow him in life. He intends to become his follower.
