How does the poet portray team work in his poem?
.k
The poem ‘Team Work’ beautifully portrays the value of team work. He talks about a group
game. One’s own courage or a single action doesn’t tell him a hero. Games are not won by single
w
man. The most important thing is how we co-operate with our team. Some may praise our individual
talents. It’s because that they single us out for famous. But winning in the game, we need the support
w
of our team mate. No one can get success with their selfish actions. It is the co-operation of everyone
that determines a game’s or battle’s success and failure. We may like applauses. Apart from that, we
w
have to concentrate our goal and develop our will power. Our will power helps our fellowman who
seems to be hopeless at the time of our way to success. We should forget our selfishness till our game
is end.

s.
Rucha was very protective. She seldom did things rashly. Even in running and playing, She
would be more conscious of her movements. She was pessimistic. She was encouraged by her
s
mother when she found faults everything. Her classmate Aruna also gave her best comfort and
re
motivating words at the time of her dejection. Above all, her P.T. instructor Prakash sir gave her
more attention in sports. He gave her more practice. He motivated her saying ‘Think to win’.
These are the words ringing in Rucha’s ears at the time of her final race. She was conscious of
xp
nothing except the tape at the finishing line. She realized her potential only after the victory. Thus
the motivation and encouragement of her well-wishers and her spirit made her overcome her self-
doubts, shyness and her fear.

READ AND UNDERSTAND
1. Faster than fairies, faster than witches,
s
Bridges and houses, hedges and ditches;
re
a) What is faster than fairies and witches?
The train is faster than fairies and witches.
b) Why does the poet mention ‘bridges and houses, hedges and ditches’? Where are they?
xp
The train rushes on leaving bridges, houses, fences and ditches behind. The poet can see it.
So he mentions it. They are near the railway track.
e
2. Here is a child who clambers and scrambles,
vi
a) Where do you think the child is?

The child is hanging on a black berry tree.
al
b) What does ‘gathering brambles’ mean?

‘Gathering brombles’ means collecting black berries.
.k
3. And ever again, in the wink of an eye,

Painted stations whistle by.
w
a) ‘In the wink of an eye’ means very quickly. Explain ‘painted stations whistle by’.
Again and again in a very short moment, the train was crossing the painted stations with a
w
whistle.
w
4. Each a glimpse and gone forever;

a) What is ‘each’ over here? Why is it gone forever?
‘Each’ means the objects that can be seen from the train. Because of the train’s speed, the poet
cannot look at the objects for very brief time. So it is gone forever.
Answer the following questions.

1. What does ‘charges along like troops in a battle’ mean?
‘Charges along like troops in a battle’means, when the train advances forward it seems as
the soldiers are attacking enemies in a battle field.
2. What word could best replace ‘charges’ in the poem - marches, rushes or pushes?
‘Charges’ the best replaced the word in the poem is ‘rushes’
3. Why does the child clamber and scramble?
To get black berries from the tree, the child clambers and scrambles.
C. Think and Write.
1. Write a paragraph about 50 words describing the scenes that the poet passed by.
The poet passes by the bridges, houses, fences, ditches, green fields, hill and plain. He sees the
railway stations and a child climbing and gathering black berries. He sees a homeless person and
some garland making ladies. He sees a cart, a water mill and a river while travelling in the train.
2. There is a connection between the rhyming words and rhythms of the train. Present your
views about it.
The rhyme of the poem echoes the rhythm of the train.
(i.e) witches - ditches scrambles - brambles
battle - cattle gazes - daisies
plain - rain road - load
eye - by river – forever
in
The rhythm of the poem and the moving train on its lines is regular and steady. But the view from
the window of the train is constantly changing.
s.
s
• The poet describes the speed of the train.
• It runs more quickly than the fairies or the witches or the soldiers.
re
• The poet passes by the bridges, houses, fences, ditches, green fields, hill and plain.
• He sees the railway stations, a child, a homeless person and some ladies.
xp
• He sees a cart, a water mill and a river.
• And all these can never be seen again.
e
vi
D. Fill in the blanks to complete the summary.

Ever since their introduction, the trains and their unique rhythms have impressed poets.
al
In this poem the poet shares his experience of a train/railway journey with us. He presents
natural scenes seen from the window of a railway carriage. The rhythm is regular and steady
.k
but the view from the window of the train is constantly changing. The poem’s rhythm and phrases
bring joy of a railway journey. The poet looks out of the window at the painted station images
outside. Every line we see here is a quick account of something seen for very brief time. The line
w
that best sums up is the final one: “Each a glimpse and gone forever!”

APPRECIATING THE POEM

A simile is a figure of speech that directly compares two things. Similes explicitly use connecting
words such as ‘like’ and ‘as’.
eg. ‘as cool as’; ‘like a child’.

the most? Why?
Similies in the poem:
“like troops in a battle”,
“as thick as driving rain;”
I like the simile “as thick as driving rain;” Because the poet says that all the scenes of hill and plain
were being crossed by train as quick as one drop of rain follows another drop in a storm.

GULLIVER’S TRAVELS

Gulliver, a ship’s doctor, took a job on a ship that fy;ypth;> xU fg;gypd; kUj;Jtuhf> ePz;l gazk;

to get up he found himself unable to sit up or

turn his head. He found his arms and legs were

securely tied with slender strings on each side kw;Wk; fhy;fs; nky;ypa ruj;jhy; ,uz;L gf;fKk;
and attached to pegs fixed on the ground. His Mg;Gfshy; jiuNahL gpizf;fg;gl;bUe;jijf;
w
hair, which was long and thick, was similarly fz;Lgpbj;jhh;. mtuJ Kb ePz;L kw;Wk; jbj;J
tied down. He felt something moving along his mNjNghy; jiuapy; fl;lg;gl;bUe;jd. mth; cly;

Gulliver later learnt that these creatures were gpwF fy;ypth; me;j caphpdq;fis
rpj;jpuf;Fs;sh;fs; (ypy;ypGl;ld;];) vd;W
called Lilliputians. Startled by this sight, Gulliver
mwpe;Jnfhz;lhh;. ,e;jg; ghh;itahy; jpLf;fpl;L>
cried out and soon managed to free his left arm. fy;ypth; $r;rypl;ljhy; mtuJ ,lJif
The frightened Lilliputians fired dozens of tiny tpLtpf;fg;gl;lJ. gae;JNghd rpj;jpuf;Fs;sh;fs;
arrows into his hand, face, and body until he once l[d; fzf;fpy; rpwpa mk;Gfis if> Kfk; kw;Wk;
again lay down calmly. The Lilliputians then built cly; KOtJk; mtd; mikjpahf gLf;Fk;tiu
a stage to Gulliver's side that was about a foot and vwpe;jdh;. gpwF xd;wiu mb cauj;jpy; fy;ypth;
a half tall, upon which an obviously important gf;fj;jpy; Nkil mikj;jhh;fs;. me;j

Gulliver in a language he could not understand. Kbahj nkhopapy; ciuahw;wpdhh;.
By now Gulliver was really hungry. With mg;NghJ fy;ypth; kpfTk; grpahf ,Ue;jhh;. mth;

gestures he signaled to the little people that he

Gulliver to promise to behave himself and then czT toq;fg;gLk; vdTk; thf;FWjp mspj;jdh;.
promised to get him some food. They soon mth;fs; tpiutpy; $ilepiwa khkprk; kw;Wk; gy
brought baskets of meat and several loaves of nuhl;bj;Jz;Lfis nfhz;Lte;jdh;. mth; mtw;iw
bread, which he ate three at a time because they xNu Neuj;jpy; %d;W Jz;Lfshf rhg;gpl;;lhu;.
were so tiny. The Lilliputians also brought two Vnddpy; mit kpfTk; rpwpajhf ,Ue;jd.
