(iv) What are the two ways in which the Brook is similar to life?

Answer:

  (i) William Wordsworth could not forget the melodious voice of the girl in the valley. He felt that the amazing music of that girl will remain in his heart, even after returning from the valley. (ii) Women at the temple joined in the gossip to discuss the latest episodes of 'Kashi Yatre' as they enjoyed the similarity with the protagonist who also had the desire to go to Kashi once. (iii) Gaston was not willing to buy the villa initially because he knew that Jeanne was buying the villa for her parents. He did not want to spend money for her parents. (iv) The Brook is quite similar to human life. It makes sallying noises like a new born baby when it emerges from its source. It appears to groan while facing hurdles like the humans do.
