Part-2. Literary Elements

Q.1.Read the poem and find the answers for the questions below.

Block City by Robert Louis Stevenson

What are you able to build with your blocks?
Castles and palaces, temples and docks.
Rain may keep raining, and others go roam,
But I can be happy and building at home.

Let the sofa be mountains, the carpet be sea,

There I’ll establish a city for me:
A kirk and a mill and a palace beside,
And a harbor as well where my vessels may ride.

Great is the palace with pillar and wall,

A sort of a tower on top of it all,
And steps coming down in an orderly way
To where my toy vessels lie safe in the bay.

This one is sailing and that one is moored:

Hark to the song of the sailors on board!
And see on the steps of my palace, the kings
Coming and going with presents and things!

2. List two words that rhyme in the first stanza____________________________

3. List two words that rhyme in the second stanza__________________________

II. Read the following paragraphas and find the settings :

Text Time Place

1. I woke to the sound of
water
crashing, over and over. The
air was
humid and salty, and as I
slowly
opened my eyes and saw the
hotel’s
white sheers moving in the
breeze, I
remembered where I was
and smiled.
It was the first day of my
vacation, and
I had big plans.
2. I stood up on my bike and
pushed
down hard on the pedals.
Slowly I
climbed the big hill, past the
Mitchell’s
blue house with the red
shutters, past
the Jenkins’ stucco
bungalow, past the
three identical houses that
had been
empty, now, for six months.
I was
panting by the time I
reached the top
of the hill, and I stopped. Far
below
me, I could still make out
my father in
the yard, trying to finish
cutting the
grass as the sky grew pink. I
had told
him I would be right back. I
grinned as
I pushed down hard on the
pedal with
my right foot once again.
Beneath me,
the bike began to fly.

1
 Wanda groaned silently and
dropped her head down onto
her
desk. At the front of the
room, Mr.
Little droned on, and on, and
on,
about the Mexican War.
Someone
near her whispered, and
there was the
rustle of paper. The slow
tick of the
clock sounded like someone
striking an
anvil with a hammer. Would
this day
ever end!

III. Read the paragraph, then identify the characters of each:

Text Characters Traits

1. “Peter, look at me!” the
principal
demanded, but Peter kept his
eyes
down, and his lips tight. He
had
nothing to say on the
subject. Not
detention, not suspension,
not
anything could make him rat
out his
friends. Just because he had
gotten caught didn’t mean
they all had to.
“It’s just a rock. Come on!”
Mary said. But Cara knew
that the reddish brown,
patterned lump on the
ground was no rock. She
knelt down and
carefully picked it up.
Inside, she knew, the tiny
turtle had to be terrified.
How did it get all the way
over here, into the middle of
the mall parking lot, she
wondered. She looked
around for a safe place
 where she might relocate
him
Tom grunted, and tightened
his grip on the rock just
above his head. His
fingers strained with the
effort. With his foot he felt
around, trying to find a
toehold. He was still a long
way from the top of the cliff,
but he was a long way off
the ground, too. His heart
pounded, but it felt light
inside his chest. The feel of
the cool air, the smell of the
dirt and rock just at his
face – he had never felt more
alive!
