SECTION A: Answer all the questions in this section{25 MARKS}

1. The passage is a third person narration. Rewrite the passage from Buck’s point of
view, changing it to a first person narration. Be sure to use your own words. {5}

But Buck was neither house-dog nor kennel-dog. The whole realm was his. He
plunged into the swimming tank or went hunting with the Judge’s sons; he escorted
Mollie and Alice, the Judge’s daughters, on long twilight or early morning rambles;
on wintry nights he lay at the Judge’s feet before the roaring library fire; he carried
the Judge’s grandsons on his back, or rolled them in the grass, and guarded their
footsteps through wild adventures down to the fountain in the stable yard, and even
beyond, where the paddocks were, and the berry patches. Among the terriers he
stalked imperiously, and Toots and Ysabel he utterly ignored, for he was king,—king
over all creeping, crawling, flying things of Judge Miller’s place, humans included.
