“Do Not Go Gentle into That Good Night” Summary

Don’t calmly and peacefully welcome death. The elderly should passionately fight against death as their
lives come to an end. Resist, resist the oncoming darkness of your death.
Smart people at the end of their lives understand that death is inevitable—but, because they haven’t yet said
anything startling or revolutionary, nothing powerful enough to shock the world like a bolt of lightning,
refuse to peacefully accept death.
Good people, seeing the last moments of their lives pass by like a final wave, mourn the fact that they
weren't able to accomplish more, because even small actions might have moved about joyously in a "green
bay"—that is, could have made a difference in the world. So they resist, resist the oncoming darkness of
their deaths.
Daring people who have lived in the moment and embraced life to the fullest, metaphorically catching a
joyful ride across the sky on the sun, realize too late that the sun is leaving them behind, and that even they
must die—but they refuse to peacefully accept death.
Serious people, about to die, realize with sudden clarity that even those who have lost their sight can, like
meteors, be full of light and happiness. So they resist, resist the oncoming darkness of their deaths.
And you, dad, are close to death, as if on the peak of a mountain. Burden and gift me with your passionate
emotions, I pray to you. Do not go peacefully into the welcoming night of death. Resist, resist the oncoming
darkness of your death.

Assessment Test 2

1. Land: gifts of nature available for production. For example: fishes of rivers, fruits of trees etc.

2. Consumer goods: goods and services purchased by households for their own satisfaction.
Capital goods: human made goods used in production.
For example if the same computer that we use office is called capital goods but if we use for personal use
is called consumer goods.

3. The causes of geographical immobility of the labour are:

 Different price and availability of houses in different areas
 Family ties
 Different education system in different areas
 Lack of information
 Restrictions on movement
(Student’s own explanation)

Worksheet_1: Answers

1(a)
 From time zero, line of constant positive gradient, not necessarily from origin
 Horizontal line from end of sloping line
 Line of steeper positive gradient from end of horizontal line
(b)
(distance =) area under graph stated
Ans= 62 m

2(a)
(distance =) area under graph stated
Ans= 312 m

(b)
rate of change of speed OR gradient of graph 1.5 m/s2

(c)
same gradient / slope OR equal speed changes in equal times OR allow graph symmetrical

3(a)
(i)
 acceleration OR
 increasing speed at a constant acceleration OR
 constant rate of increase in speed
(ii)
 decreasing acceleration OR decreasing rate of increase in speed
 NOT deceleration
(b)
 mention of air resistance AND weight (of object) / force due to gravity
 acceleration at start (of fall) is acceleration of gravity / 10 m / s2 / a maximum
/ g OR acceleration decreases (as it falls)
  air resistance increases as speed increases/as it accelerates
 acceleration zero/terminal velocity/constant speed/maximum speed when air
resistance = weight

4(a)
(i) horizontal line at 10 m / s
(ii) straight line from origin to (5.0, 25)

(b)
(i) 50 m
(ii) area of triangle OR . × 25 × 5.0 >>>>62.5 m OR 63 m
(iii) when areas under graphs are equal 4.0 s

5(a)
point marked P (on line or time axis) at t ≥ 2.0 s

(b)
attempt at gradient OR (a =) Δv / t OR (v – u) / t OR 240 (–0) / 2.0
OR division of correct points on graph ans: 120 m / s2

(ii) suggestion of area (under graph) in words or formula or numbers

Ans: 180 m

(c)
mass of sled changes / decreases OR fuel used up
