Class 10Th English (Words And Expression 2) Chapter 1 A Letter To God Imagine you are sitting in your English class. Your teacher writes on the board in big letters, “A Letter to God.” The whole class becomes curious. A letter to God? Can someone really write a letter to God? And if they do, who will read it? Who will reply? This is how the story begins to pull us in. And today, we are going to understand it like a story you can easily remember for your exams. Before reading the story, your teacher asks a simple but powerful question. They say, “They say faith can move mountains. But what should we put our faith in?” That question is not just about Lencho. It is about all of us. Do we put our faith in God, in hard work, in people, or in ourselves? This question is often asked in exams in a slightly different way, such as: What is the message of the story “A Letter to God”? Or, What does Lencho’s character teach us? So keep this question in your mind as we move forward. Now let us enter the world of Lencho. Lencho is a poor farmer who lives with his family in a small house on the top of a hill. His entire life depends on his crops. If the rains come at the right time, he will have a good harvest. If something goes wrong, his family will suffer. This is very relatable, especially in a country like India where many farmers still depend on rain for their crops. Even today, if there is too much rain or no rain, farmers face huge losses. So Lencho’s situation is not imaginary. It reflects real life. One day, Lencho looks at the sky and happily says that the rain is coming. He needs rain for his corn fields. At first, the raindrops are gentle and helpful. But soon, the rain turns into a hailstorm. Huge hailstones fall from the sky and destroy his entire crop. In a few minutes, everything is ruined. The most important learning points in this chapter are Lencho's faith and belief in God, The impact of natural calamities on farmers, Irony in Lencho's trust in God but distrust in people, The role of hope and faith in difficult times, The significance of the letter as a symbol of faith and desperation. Students should revise these points before attempting MCQs and long-answer questions. अध्याय "ईश्वर को एक पत्र" में लेंचो नामक एक गरीब किसान की कहानी है, जो अपनी फसल नष्ट होने पर ईश्वर को पत्र लिखता है। यह कहानी विश्वास, आशा और व्यंग्य की महत्वपूर्ण सीख देती है। इस अध्याय को समझना कक्षा 10 के विद्यार्थियों के लिए बहुत उपयोगी है। हर्षाली अकादमी पर इसे सुनकर आप परीक्षा की तैयारी अच्छे से कर सकते हैं।
