You're very welcome, Mohammad.
In the last paragraph, the author emphasizes the lack of love in the old man's life through the use of descriptive language and the actions of the characters.
To understand the ending and how the lack of love is emphasized, let's analyze it step by step:
1. "The old lady was waiting for us on the path."
The mention of the "old lady" waiting indicates that the old man has someone in his life who cares for him. This contrasts with the previous mention of the lack of love in the old man's life.
2. "He walked straight toward her voice."
The old man's action of walking straight toward the old lady's voice shows his desire for companionship and love. It emphasizes his longing for someone who loves him.
3. "I felt the pinch of her words and fell behind."
The use of the phrase "pinch of her words" suggests that the old man is receiving affectionate and loving words from the old lady. This emphasizes the contrast between the lack of love earlier and the warmth he is now experiencing.
4. "The man walked straight ahead and didn't look back."
The actions of the old man, walking straight ahead without looking back, implies that he has found what he was longing for: love and companionship. It further emphasizes the significance of these emotions in his life.
In conclusion, the author emphasizes the lack of love in the old man's life through contrasting his actions and emotions before and after encountering the old lady on the path. The ending shows the old man finding love and companionship, highlighting the significance of these emotions in his otherwise lonely existence.
