13. How did Makara's action affect the forest of Pambupatti?How did normally return?

ANS:

Introduction: This story written by Zai Whitaker enlightens the readers on the importance of ecologic e of ecological balance. This is in the form of a narration by a grandfather to Prem.

Pambupatti, a strange village: Prem had to take refuge in a village called Pambupatti. Long long ago, Pambupatti had only reptiles living. The pretty snakes, the beautiful tortoises, the clever lizards and the moody, grumpy crocodiles were its inhabitants. They had a practice of meeting monthly once.

An important meeting: At all the meetings, Makara the crocodile was the President. He was strong, twenty five feet long and awesome. No one could oppose him. On one such meeting, he announced that the tortoises had to leave the forest. He said that they were stupid, weird and carried their houses on their backs and were slow coaches. He asked them to leave the forest within a week.

Effect of the action: All seemed well except that stench which began to fill the air as the ponds and lakes had rot piling up. After a month it was the snakes turn to be sent out because of their slimy and poisonous nature. No rats and frogs thronged everywhere eating away even the eggs of the crocodiles. Even then makara did not relent. He thought of having the forest for his species alone. So he ordered the lizards out, as they changed colours of ten and could not be trusted. Soon things went topsy-turvy. The misery of the inmates of the jungle began to multiply as the insects joined the rodents making life in the jungle unworthy to live.

Normalcy returns: The crocodiles clearly understood the reason behind the miseries. One baby crocodile mustered courage and voiced out in the meeting that it all began after the tortoises' disappearance. Makara had to accept his guilt silently. Urgent messages were sent to all the reptiles to return and it was a happy time once again for the inhabitants of Pambupatti.

Conclusion: The reptiles of Pambupatti forest realized after a bitter experience that they should live together, if they wanted to lead a happy life. The story thus ends, throwing light on the fact that all creations of God have their own place on earth and their roles to play. Each one has a right to live in their habitat, thereby ecology will remain intact and peace would rule the earth.

14. Describe the magnificient race from the confident beginning to exciting but painful finish.

ANS:

Introduction: Roger Bannister, the long distance runner from Britain describes his one mile race in London. He gives a graphic account of what is to fail and succeed, the mental agony behind it and the anxiety to get to the finishing tape. He has set his own yard stick for his race.

Start of the race: All the participants lined up. When he saw the country's flag fluttering in air, the though of Shaw's St. Joan flashed in his mind. Waiting; anxiety and expectation drove him to the extent of forgetting even the cheering of the spectators. The first 57.5 seconds were uneventful though Brasher went into the lead. Roger slipped in effortlessly behind him, feeling tremendously full of running. A voice from the crowd shouted ‘relax'. It was the voice of stampfl's. He obeyed the voice by relaxing. He relaxed so much that his mind was detached from his body and observed his own running.

Last lap: Bannister knew that he had to run the last lap within 59 seconds to create history. When the finishing line was just three hundred yards away, he pounced past Chat away. It was a moment of joy and anguish. The encouragement of the crowed added force to his speed but the finishing line tape just five yards away seemed to recede. The last few seconds seemed never ending.

Pinnacle of glory: After the struggle, the finishing tape stood in front of him like a haven of peace. He leapt at it like a man taking his last spring to save himself from the chasm that threatened to engulf him. Immediately he collapsed. Only then he felt the pain. The announcement declared that they had done it in 3 minutes and 59.4 seconds. All the three of them ran around the ground in a burst of spontaneous joy. They had done it, where they wanted, when they wanted and how they wanted in their first attempt of the year. What mattered was they had done it together. They had proved that they could run a mile in four minutes.

Conclusion: Roger was supremely happy and he wanted to prolong the moments of glory. He could not find words to describe his joy, which eclipsed all other feelings. He felt that he could never attempt with such single-minded effort. He was overwhelmed, bewildered and extremely satisfied with his attempt and success. This lesson proves that sincere and earnest efforts and athletic ambition are needed for achieving success in life.

when he was loitering around. When the narrator went tobreak this tragic news to his lady love he realized that some foolish fellow had already blurted out the news to the girl, whohad become a stone. Everyone wept but she didn't. After spending three days and three sleepless nights the girl came to the narrator's place and asked him if he could cut a stone for her lover. She glared at him, pecred at him with such fixed eyes that he could not stand the stare. It cut his heart, chilled his blood and pierced his bone.

He started carving a tomb stone. As he was working, she watched him all through day and night. No other sound was heard except the stroke of the mallet. The narrator could feel Death nearing her.

26. How does the poet present a beautiful comparison of joy and pleasure?

ANS: W.H. Davies compares joy and pleasure in a very beautiful style.According to the poet, joy can be felt among the poor but pleasure is reserved only for the rich. The rich can indulge in pleasure, in merry-making because of their wealth, but the poor can seek joy in their hearts. Pleasure is compared to a moth which sleeps by day and delights in the glare of artificial lights at night. Joy is like a butterfly which flutters happily in the day light of nature. Joy is like a bee which gently sucks away the nectar from the blossoms but pleasure is like a greedy wasp that stings and devours the juicy plums and cherries. Joy is like a lark which though lives alone has close connections with the earth.

Pleasure is like a cuckoo which wanders aimlessly, makes a lot of acquaintance but no permanent friends. Joy desires happiness from within the heart. The poor feel happy with small things and do not bother about who cares for them. Their enjoyment is confined to a few. But the rich share pleasure with total stranger, since their money attracts them. Only wealth can assure pleasure to them.

Where white flows the river and bright blows the broom,

In rainfall at morning and dewfall at night.

The fine song for singing, the rare song to hear!

That only I remember, that only you admire,

Of the broad road that stretches and the roadside fire.

And, but for you, possess the field.

For while the tired waves, vainly breaking,

Seem here no painful inch to gain.

For back, through creeks and inlets making

Comes silent, flooding in, the main.
