- What role does nature play in the story "A Long Walk with Granny"?
Answer:
Introduction
Nature is an important part of "A Long Walk with Granny" by Ruskin Bond. The story describes beautiful landscapes and natural events that shape Granny and Mani’s journey to Mussoorie. Nature adds beauty, challenges, and meaning to their adventure.
Body
The story is full of vivid descriptions of nature. As Granny and Mani walk to Nain, they see a “flock of parrots” and “light green fields” against “dark green forests” bathed in “golden sunshine” (Page 3).
These sights make the journey enjoyable despite the rain. Mani picks wild blackberries, showing how nature provides small joys (Page 3).
Nature also creates challenges. A light drizzle makes the path wet, and Granny’s umbrella leaks (Page 2). Later, a thick mist hides the view of Nain, and heavy rain soaks them as they enter the town (Page 3). The biggest challenge is a landslide, with “earth, trees, and bushes” crashing down, blocking the bus road (Page 4). These events test Granny and Mani’s determination, but they keep going.
At the end, nature brings joy again. With her new glasses, Granny sees “distant villages, pretty women working in the fields, monkeys in the trees, and a rainbow in the sky” (Page 7). These sights make her happy and show how her improved vision connects her to the beauty of nature.
Conclusion
Nature in the story is both beautiful and challenging. It provides stunning views like green fields and rainbows, but also obstacles like rain and a landslide. Through it all, Granny and Mani’s love for nature and each other helps them complete their journey, showing that nature is a powerful part of life.
