Concept Map
Alienation or isolation,
and the mystery of life
The traveler stood there in
confusion.
He knocked at the door, calling the
house holders to open the door
He knocked on the door again but
there was no answer. Silence was
the answer to his call.
A bird flew out of the window
above his head.
A traveler came to the door of a
house in the forest.
He did not know that there
was a group of spirits listening to him.
Consolidation and Presentation: (Write in Hints mode)
• In "The Listeners" poem, a Traveller arrives at an unfamiliar location and seeks entrance by
knocking on a Moonlight door.
• Despite his increasing efforts, he receives no response.
• The silence is broken only by the flight of a bird from a window above.
• The Traveller persists in his attempts to gain entry, but still, no answer comes.
• Unaware of the presence of unseen spirits listening, he stands bewildered.
