    Prepared by:
    Muhammad Raffay Maqbool
    Question No. 1:
    Why does the poet find the rain beautiful?
    Answer:
    The poet finds the rain beautiful because it comes on a hot and dusty summer day. The poet is
    mesmerized by the rain, washing off all the heat and dust from the narrow and broad lanes of the
    city.
    Question No. 2:
    With what does the poet compare the rain drops falling on the roof and why?
    Answer:
    The poet compares the rain drops falling on the roof with the hoofs of the horse, in order to give us
    an image of the rhythm and sound of the rain drops on the roof.
    Question No. 3:
    How do the rain drops fall from the sky?
    Answer:
    The poet says that the rain drops fall from the sky as if they are liberating from the overflowing
    clouds in the sky.
    Question No. 4:
    How does the gutter look during the rain in summer?
    Answer:
    The gutter looks wider as it is full of rain water. The swiftly flowing water mingles with the mud
    in the wide gutter and gives the scenario of a river roaring down.
    Question No. 5:
    Give the central idea of the poem ‘Rain in Summer’.
    Answer:
    Rain in Summer is a short poem about all the joy and comfort the rain brings. Everything seems
    to become more alive and vibrant in nature. The rain makes dull and dusty streets to glisten with
    beauty and creates a beautiful rhythmic sound on the roof. The muddy streams flow down the
    roads like the rivers roaring down, thus creating a pleasing environment. As the rain brings
    happiness and provides a soothing atmosphere to the people, it is welcomed by everyone.
