Error Correction Exercise: 'Walking Away'

But suppose it shows the image of a young boy, perhaps ten or eleven, with a look of quiet contemplation on his face, gazing out over a schoolyard or a landscape beyond. The language is gentle yet charged with emotion, capturing the moment of departure and the feelings of loss and hope intertwined. The tone is reflective, almost wistful, as the narrator describes the boy’s tentative steps away from childhood into the unknown future, highlighting the vulnerability and resilience inherent in growing up. The poem explores themes of separation, change, and the subtle strength required to move forward despite uncertainty.
