This passage is for question 9-13.

Dancer Martha Graham trained her body to move in different ways and in
different contexts from any before attempted, "life today is nervous, sharp,
and zigzag," she said. "It often stops in midair. That is what I aim for in my
dances." She insists she never started out to be a rebel. It was only that the
emotions she had to express could not be projected through any of the
traditional forms.
This was in 1925. All forms of art were undergoing a revolution. The
theories of psychology were being used to extend the boundaries of poetry,
music, and painting.
Martha Graham's debut dance concert in her new idiom occurred on
April 18, 1926. Connoisseurs of dance, gathered at the Forty-eighth Street
Theater in New York, witnessed Martha Graham's first foray into this new
realm of dance. They saw, through such dance sequences as "Three Gobi
Maidens." and "A Study in Lacquer, desires and conflicts expressed through
bodily movements. These critics agreed that something entirely new. A
departure from all previous forms, had been witnessed.
In the early thirties, she founded the. Martha Graham School of
Contemporary Dance. Her classes were used as a laboratory for her stage
works, and her stage works in turn were a means for attaching new pupils to
her school-a sort of self-winding process, with herself as the key to the
development.
Martha Graham and the school she has founded are virtually
synonymous with the modern dance. She had not only produced a technique
of the dance. Choreographed and taught it, but her disciples have gone out to
fill the modern dance world.

The poem is for question no 26-30

A blessing
Just off the highway to Rochester, Minnesota
Twilight bounds softly forth on the grass
And eyes of those two Indian ponies
Darken with kindness
They have come gladly out of the willows
To welcome my friend and me
We step over the barbed wire into pasture
Where they have been grazing all day, alone
That we have come.
They bow shyly as wet swans.
They love each other
There is no loneliness like theirs
At home once more
They begin munching they young tufts of spring in the darkness.
I would like to hold the slender one in my arms,(15)
For she has walked over to me
And nuzzled my left hand
She is black and white
And the light breeze moves me to caress her long eat
That is delicate as the skin over a girl’s wrist
Suddenly I realized
That if I stepped out of my body
I would break
Into blossom.
(Wright, James, “ A Blessing”. Glencoe Literature, Course 5. 200, p.61)
