  How is the current poem a symbol of life? Quote the examples of parallelism between man's life and the brook.           or Bring out the parallelism between the movement of brook and the course of human  

Answer:

                  The current poem is undoubtedly a symbol of life. The brook's journey from its origin till joining its final destination, the brimming river, is man's journey of life from birth to death. Whatever hurdles it faces on the way, reflect what man faces all through his life. The brook's noisy flow is similar to man's struggling and fretting and fuming against the problems. The brook slips, slides, glooms and glances. So, does man. The brook carries many things with it as it flows. So, does man, as he meets people, builds relationships,  carries  memories and collects materialistic things as he goes through life. The only difference between man and the brook is that man's life comes to an end, while the brook lives on and on forever.
