In this poem, life is compared with a play. Just as in a play, a man acts many parts,
so also in life, a man plays many roles. Can you think of some other comparison
for life? (For example, life could be compared with the seasons in nature, the
days of the week, the lessons in a school day). Select one of these comparisons
(or choose one of your own), and write about the similarities that life has with it.

Human life can be compared with seasons in nature. Human life is divided into different phases like different seasons in nature. Each phase in human life has unique characteristics. Similarly every season has characteristics of its own. From birth to death human beings pass through various phases. These phases are temporary in nature. Seasons are also temporary. One season succeeds another. From birth to death human beings experience the emotions of pain and joy like wise there are various moods of nature. Summer is hot, winter is cold. Rainy season is full of rain. Spring and autumn have their own characteristics. We can compare our childhood with the spring season as during this phase everything has a humble beginning. Youth can be compared with the summer season as youth is full of activity. Rainy season has similarity with the gloom and pain we experience in our life. We can compare the autumn season with our middle age when we become mature and settled,looking after offsprings and enjoying the fruits of our actions performed during the youth as during this season various fruits start ripening. Winter season has similarity with old age in human life. During winter the environment becomes cold and inactive just as in old age we become in active. Thus, the seasons in nature have striking similarity with the various phases in human life.
