\nUNDERSTANDING THE POEM<\/b><\/span><\/u><\/o:p><\/span><\/b><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
\n<\/div>\n
\n     <\/span>The poet acquaints us  with a fan which talks a lot. He means that
\nthe fan makes spontaneous sound on motion. The poet tried to hear and
\nunderst<\/span><\/b>and what the fan says, but he fails to understand. One day suddenly the
\nfan stopped making sound because someone had oiled the whirling motor and the
\nfan turned into as silent as water.<\/span><\/b><\/div>\n

\n1. <\/span><\/span><\/b><\/span>Fans don\u2019t talk, but it is possible to imagine that they do.
\nWhat is it, then, that sounds like the fan\u2019s chatter?<\/span><\/o:p><\/span><\/span><\/b><\/span><\/div>\n

\nAns:- Apparently, the poet imagined
\nthe noise of the fan to be the chatter of the fan. When a fan moves a sound is
\nsometimes created in the whirling motors .When we do not oil a fan\u2019s motor
\nproperly, it does make such sounds. This very sound assumed as chatter of the
\nfan. <\/o:p><\/span><\/b><\/div>\n
