“That show made him a star overnight”, said my friend about one of the actors. “He was completely unknown before. And now thousands of teenagers send him chocolates and love letters in the mail.”
What does the above paragraph mean?
Read the poem and answer the question.
The forest’s sentinel
Glides silently across the hill
And perches in an old pine tree,
A friendly presence his!
No harm can come
From night bird on the prowl.
His cry is mellow,
Much softer than a peacock’s call.
Why then this fear of owls
Calling in the night?
If men must speak,
Then owls must hoot-
They have the right.
On me it casts no spell:
Rather, it seems to cry,
“The night is good- all’s well, all’s well.”
