(d) give impartial judgment (a) look into Mr. Rhino occupying the second hut.
1.Do you agree with the action of the man at the end? Why?
The man was exploited by all the animals of the commission and each time he built new huts, Mr. Rhinoceros, Mr. Buffalo, Mr.
Leopard, Mr. Hyena and others occupied them. So, he was very much irritated with the animals’ behaviour and he lost faith
injustice.
He waited for an opportunity to take revenge against the animals. Accordingly, when he built a new hut Mr. Rhinoceros came to
occupy it, but the elephant had already occupied the hut. Other animals also came to occupy the hut and they all quarreled
among themselves.
And while they were fighting, the man used this opportunity to get revenge and peace. He set the hut on fire and killed all the
animals of the jungle. This action of the man was just and apt to the situation and circumstances.
The animals’ imperial policy reminds us of the colonial policy Of whites over blacks. The man is symbolic of the black people and
revolted against the dominance of the brutal whites. So, his action is justified with this apt quote “Peace is costly, but it is worth
the expense”.
2.“An act of kindness is misunderstood as weakness”. Discuss this with reference to the story.
The story ‘The Gentlemen of the Jungle’ is a very apt description of the modem colonial countries. The author has brought out
excellently the theme of colonialism and the exploitation of the oppressed countries by America and the European countries.
In the story the man was kind enough to allow the elephant to put its trunk inside his hut when it was caught in a heavy
thunderstorm. But the elephant instead of being thankful slowly pushed itself inside the hut and flung the man out. When the
man started to argue, none of the animals supported him. After a commission of enquiry gave its verdict in the elephant’s
favour, the man was forced to build a fresh hut, which again was usurped by another animal.
All his new huts were taken over by other animals. Finally, out of frustration and anger, he built a bigger hut and when all the
animals were lighting for the ownership, burnt it down along with the animals .The story gives the message that one should not
be too kind to others as it can be misused and the kindness assumed as weakness. The man is symbolic of the oppressed
countries which were exploited by the Americans and Europeans represented by the animals.
Americans and Europeans’ initially came to these places asking for permission to trade and a place to set up shop. Slowly they
took over the countries and started ruling them.Jt cautions the innocents to be wary of the cheats and exploiters in life Also,
there is a veiled warning to the oppressors that they cannot continue to exploit the weak countries, because once they realise
their real strength and revolt, the oppressors will be destroyed completely.
3.“Peace is costly but it is worth the expense.” What is the ironical significance of this statement?
It is ironical that wars are continuously waged by countries in order to establish peace. Countries have a wrong notion that
violent attacks on others will force the country into submission and have peace. But whereever peace is achieved, it is the
silence of the dead and not the peace of the satisfied. There will be resentment in the mind of the country which has been
subjugated
This resentment will, sooner or later, surface and lead to confrontation again. For instance, Germany rose again for world war II
after its defeat in the I world war. Such ‘peace’ is not worthwhile. In the story, the man is free of all exploitation by the animals
after he kills them, but he is left lonely without any friends at all. That was the price he had to pay for securing peace through
violence.
It takes a lot of effort from everyone concerned to achieve peace in a country, and it can happen only when everyone is aware of
the necessity for peace, and is motivated to achieve it through peaceful means. Otherwise, the Government has to secure peace
only by demonstrating its superior power and bulldozing the citizens into submission.
4.Every fable ends with a moral. What ‘moral’ do you find in this story?
The author, Jomo Kenyatta concludes the story ‘The Gentlemen of the Jungle’ by quoting ‘Peace is costly but it is worth the
expense’. What the author is trying to convey to us through this short story is that in a society one’s weakness can be misused
by the dominating people and this would ultimately lead the weaker section to have to leave the society.
He is trying to instill the idea in the readers’ mind that the suppressed minority in a society will eventually rise to seek power He
stands by his ground by saying that the dominated majority can fool the minority over a period oftime but not forever.
No one likes to be treated as a slave in a society and equality is what everyone desires. The moral of the story emphasizes to its
readers that one should stop colonialism and discrimination. It comes from the old saying ‘treat others the way you want to be
treated’.
5.Do you think that the story can be read as a political satire on colonialism?
Usually, animals are portrayed in fables and folk tales as innocent; whereas man is shown as the intruder and the evil being. The
present story reverses this trend and portrays the animals as greedy and exploitative, whereas man is shown as innocent and
submissive.
This stark reversal of roles makes us think of the real message of the story. Yes, it can be read as a political satire on colonialism
because this was how the colonizers occupied the various countries in Africa and Asia. They came as innocent traders who got
exposed to the bountiful resources of these countries.
Going back to their native countries, they described the wealth of the countries and inspired trade which soon led to
colonization. Further, it was the meek, submissive nature of the colonized countries, like that of the man in the story, that’
emboldened the European nations to exploit them mercilessly.
The story gives a warning to all colonizing countries that if they take the colonized countries for granted, that might also be
exterminated like the 1 animals in the story. The story can be read as a very good political satire on colonialism, since otherwise,
the characters of the elephant and the rhinoceros, which are truly very meek and peaceful animals in real life, have no
relevance.

10.The boy goes to school on a summer morning.
1.Formal schooling not only takes away the joy of childhood but also hinders the child’s growth forever. Explain.
(or)Do you think the poet is arguing against education? Discuss.
The poet William Blake relevantly argues on the education of the. children. He says that the boy is very happy being with the
nature and he learns freely in the nature as he loves to rise happily in the summer morning. But when he thinks of school, his
happiness disappears and he feels the school as a prison.
The boy does not think freely in the school. The poet excellently says that the boy sits in the school in fear and anxiety and he
questions how he can learn the subjects. When the child loses his happiness he doesn’t show interest in learning and it becomes
major obstacle’ for his mental and physical growth.
The poet emphasizes on the nature. He says, the boy gets happiness in the singing of a bird and watching the huntsman. Nature
is a sweet company to him. But when the boy enters formal schooling, he spends the time in irritation and anxiety. The poet
stresses on free-learning arid informal schooling, that is learning in nature. That helps to widen his mental horizon and physical
growth.
The poet is not arguing against education but discourages the formal schooling and encourages informal learning. He gives a
valuable advice to the parents to give a lot of sweet memories of learning in the childhood, so that the child gets all round
development and ensures the future of nation.
Totally, the poem is an excellent attempt to bring out the torture felt by the children at formal schooling. The poem gives the
message to discourage formal schooling and encourage free learning for children.

Once Mara and his friend laid a trap and caught a barking deer. As they had to divide it equally between them, they took it near
to the stream and divided the meat. They wrapped their portions in some leaves and brought them home.
In Mara’s house they got ready to cook, but when Mara opened the packet to take out the meat. It was a surprise as instead of
the meat, there was a live wild buck! when it saw Mara, it jumped up and ran out of his house.
When Mara was trying to catch it, as usual, Mara’s wife ignorantly took the leaves and threw them into the fire. This incident
shows that Indians do not think of what happened and why? But they simply go according to the situations and never turn the
circumstances to their advantage. This is the big weakness of Indians.

Answer:

Question 1.
How does money trigger fear in an individual?
Answer:
The poem focuses on how man gives importance to money. When the moneyless man is treated as poor and powerless, he
definitely fears to lose the money. Obviously, he gives much importance to money. Each and every man goes behind money and
breaks all relationships. In future, there may not be any sentiments between people. So, when all the people try to make money,
certainly lack of money triggers the fear in an individual. So every individual tries to acquire it by some means or the other.
Question 2.
How does an individual measure the value of another individual in terms of money?
Answer:
When all the people go behind money, money becomes the most significant thing in society. So man automatically tries to
accumulate money to lead his life happily. This money madness spreads widely among all the people in the society. Money leads
the society and gets respect and power and rules the society. So, man to get all these, accumulates money. And those who have
all these, get respect in society. So, man measures the value of others in terms of money.

Collective madness about money affects the individuals also. How does the poem bring this out?
or
Question 2.
What according to the poet, might happen if people do not regain sanity about money? What solution does he offer?
Answer:
The poem Money Madness by D.H. Lawrence focuses on how man becomes more materialistic and loses die values and
sentiments in society. He respects money over relationships. Society goes on measuring a man in terms of money.
A man who does not have money, docs not get respect from society and those who have money get respect and are obeyed by
all. So to get all these social status, man gives much importance to money and he never helps other fellow beings who may be in
difficulties.
The poet says that man has this money madness and it is widely spread among men. He affirms that if society goes behind
money, individual too goes behind the same. He confirms that no man gives a pound without pain and no man gives a ten
pounds without trembling, and the man loses his generosity.
Man makes money, but money makes man and many things. So, the man fears money and tries to accumulate it and respects it
instead of other men. The poet also warns that money-less people should not be treated with neglect and should not be treated
based on status.
The poet fears for the man kind that if it measures another man only in terms of money, there would be no future for human
relationships. If people do not regain sanity about money, certainly money has got men down to become it’s slaves. So, the poet
offers a genuine solution that bread should be free, shelter should be free and fire should be free to all the people in the world.
In the overall view of the poem, the poet worries about man’s greed about money and offers a better solution for a better
tomorrow.

(a) using the rod.
(b) sparing the rod.
(c) making friends with them.
(d) taking advantage of the age gap.
Answer:
(b) sparing the rod.
Question 12.
What proverb does the story of Babar Ali underline?
Answer:
“Where there is a will there is a way”.
Question 1.
Why do you think Babar Ali took the initiative to start his own school?
Answer:
Though children are provided free education, sending children to school is not entirely free of cost. Although children are taught
for free, they still have to pay for uniforms, books etc. Many families cannot send their children to school. Thus, instead of going
to school, most of the boys help out their families by working in shops as day labourers, grass cutters etc. Girls work as maid
servants in the village, where they cook, clean, wash clothes and dishes for their employers Babar wanted to change this. So he
took the initiative of opening his very own school.
Question 2.
‘What started as a game resulted in a much sought after school for the underprivileged’. Explain.
Answer:
Babar Ali started his school at the age of nine. In fact his school “Anand Siksha Niketan” grew out of a game. Initially the children
used to play with Babar as a teacher. His friends had never seen the inside of a school, so they enjoyed playing students.
They ended up learning arithmetic and enjoying it. In 2002, this game got institutionalized with a strength of eight. Word spread
and the numbers grew’. Many friends of Ali and Non- Govemment Organisations, IAS officers and local cops donated rice for
midday meals. At last Government took initiative to provide rice to the school. Now the school has 800 students in total, with 10
volunteer teachers teaching for classses one to eight. It is a godsent opportunity for the poor children of the neighbouring
villages,
Question 3.
Do you think that Babar Ali’s act of thoughtfulness has enabled the poor children move towards growth? Discuss.
Answer:
Babar’s act of thoughtfulness is illuminating many students’ lives and he is building their future. He is the man whom all youth,
should follow. He is the icon of educationists. He is the model for several poor people who are coming up in their education.
He is the inspiration for institutions and a lesson to learners. His good thought of changing the lives of the poor in society is what
is needed for this country. Amidst all selfish people, he is one outstanding selfless person who proves the quote ‘nothing is
impossible’.
He has proved that ‘man may be single but can achieve multiple goals’. His teaching for the underprivileged is an excellent
thought which provides for a better education for all poor people to hope for a better tomorrow.
Question 1.
According to Nasiruddin ‘education is a man’s true religion.’ How does Babar Ali’s school prove this?
Answer:
‘Education is a true religion’ is a fine thought of Nasiruddin, Babar Ali’s father. When people all over are quarrelling about their
religions and castes, he is the man who gives education importance and says it is the trae religion. One can steal anything, but
nobody can steal knowledge. It is the immortal light which lights up millions of other lights. He sums it up by saying. ‘Education is
a true religion’.
Inspired by these words, many have understood the value of education and its uses and have started sending their children to
schools. Babar’s commitment in helping these people is undeniable and the fact that from eight students in the beginning how
his school has grown to cater for eight hundred, shows how- he has changed the people around him and drawn the children to
school. Babar is a shining example for the quote ‘where there is a will there is a way’.
Inspite of being only a teenager instead of whiling away his time playing in the fields, he had a vision and followed it and
motivated others into following him. This literacy movement should not stop at this, but should spread to other places also,
igniting other like minded souls to take the initiative to dream, work for and realise a better tomorrow for India. Babar Ah has
become a legend in his youth only and stands tall as a youth icon for the world to emulate.
Question 2.
The increasing strength of Babar Ali’s school reflects the transformation in our society’s attitude towards education.
Substantiate.
Answer:
Babar Ali’s school was started when he was only nine, while playing a game. Very soon, children began to love his way of
teaching and flocked to his ‘school’. Babar did not charge any fee for his teaching. He also got the help of the local educated
people, who came and taught the children, Babar was successful in getting the help of nine high school student volunteers.
The oldest and most educated of them is Debarita who goes to College in Behrampur. Babar himself studies in class XII in a
school quite far from his house. He commutes the long distance, attends classes in the mornings and comes back in the
afternoons to his ‘school’ to teach youngsters who have worked hard in the mornings and are now ready for learning.
The fact that his school is entirely free, he and his staff teach well, there is a midday meal, and his school is recognized by the
West Bengal Government, attracts many students to his school. The increasing strength of his school just shows how7 eager
people are to get their children educated, and how7 good, selfless work gets noticed by people soon.
Those who cannot afford education in the regular schools, do not mind sending their children to learn from teachers like Babar.
This only proves that Indians are realizing the significance of education in life.
Question 3.
Do you feel that Babar Ali’s initiation is a success story? Explain.
Answer:
The initiation is a definite success. Babar Ali’s intention when he started his school was to help the less fortunate people by
providing free education. Today, more and more under privileged people have utilized this opportunity of his and are coming up
in society.
Moreover we can clearly see that Babar Ali’s action has inspired millions of people around the world – If more people take part
to change the world for the better, there will be a greater success than he would have wished for Babar Ali has brought about
the change he wanted to see in his surroundings.
If a young boy from a village-had the will and determinations to make a change in the world out there, it is not right on own part
to remain as mute spectators but we must also actively participate towards bringing the change.

Question 9.
What does the bird do on, the tree?
Answer:
The bird builds a nest for itself.
Question 1.
Why would mother earth not flee according to the speaker?
Answer:
The poem is a sad but true depiction of the status of the untouchables in our society. Some humans ill-treat other humans,
calling them untouchables and denying them equality and respect. If a tree were to extend its roots into earth, mother earth
would not flee because she will not feel defiled or polluted by the tree. There is no need for her to have a bath to get purified.
Question 2.
How do the life forces – sunlight and the cool breeze – enforce nature’s idea of equality?
Answer:
In nature, the life giving forces like sunlight and air do not discriminate against anybody. The sunlight bathes everybody and
everything with its glow without exception. It embraces everything with equal love and never feels defiled by the shadow of an
untouchable.
The cool breeze embraees everybody with its sweet touch. Its friendship is extended to one and all. It blows lovingly on the
leaves of trees spreading its sweetness and the leaves reciprocate with their dance. In nature there is only love and equality
among all.
Question 1.
Why does the speaker want to be a tree?
(or)
Question 2.
The poem is a satire on social discrimination. Discuss.
(or)
Question 3.
The speaker brings out the concepts of defilement and purification. How is the meaninglessness of the practice brought out?
Answer:
The speaker wanted to be a tree because no one would discriminate against it and birds wouldn’t ask to what caste it belonged
and sunlight would (approach) embrace it and its shadow wouldn’t be termed polluted. It can make friendship with the cool
breeze, and rain drops would not go back by thinking that it is an untouchable.
The tree would feel happy with the touch of a sacred cow and it would get the opportunity of providing shelter for the hundred
thousand Gods said to be residing in the cow. The tree can become pure when it is cut into dry- pieces and burnt in the holy fire
and can help the sinless dead body by becoming a bier on the shoulders of four good men.
The poem describes the sense of equality present in nature. Sunlight and cool breeze treat everybody with love and spread their
sweetness to all without discrimination. Unlike some humans who feel polluted getting in contact with the untouchables, nature
has no such sense of sense of superiority.
All are equal in its eyes. The poem also presents the social discrimination, as the speaker is much humiliated by the social
discrimination and wanted to become a tree to escape from discrimination in the society.
He feels the safety, purity and generosity and helping nature of a tree more than in human beings. In a society, man without
thinking of helping others, thinks which is pure and which is polluted. He neglects and discriminates some and appreciates
others in name of caste, creed and religion. So this practice is meaningless and the practice must be prohibited to sustain
equality in society.

What instructions did Mara give his son about the lake and the creatures? What light do these instructions throw on Mara’s
character?
Answer:
Mara advised his son to take care of the lake and not to allow any fishermen to the tank. The creatures should not be killed in
that sacred place. This advice to his son reflects the helping nature of Mara. Mara never thought of himself even for a day. He
always thought of others. So he advised his son to protect the tank for the sake of the village. He also advised his son to dedicate
his descendents to protect the tank.
Question 3.
Bring out the significance of the sacred spot that Mara describes to the King.
Answer:
The place was very sacred. Water had flowed on since the day Hanuman took the Sanjeevini. Its birth was in the fleeting mists of
the mountain top. and on its w ax’ through rare flow ers and forests, it has come down to their village. River Veda carried nectar
in its bosom which revived Gods and nourished mortals. But, in summer Veda stops flowing and villagers die of drought. To get
water the whole year, they need to build a tank for Veda. That was the significance of . that place. It was the place where
sanjeevini grew.
Question 4.
How did-Mara react to the Goddess when she appeared before him for
(a) the first time?
(b) the second time?
Answer:
(a) The first time when the Goddess appeared before him, he was very content and happy as she w as very beautiful and
peaceful and she gave a command to him to build a tank for Veda. Her appearance was a great pleasure for him and he saw her
as a peaceful mother.
(b) When the Goddess appeared for the second time, it was terrible and Veda was thundering down from the mountain. The
Goddess’ eyes were wild and gleamed with a strange light. She carried a sword in her hand and she had splashed her forehead
with vermilion. She was aggressive and Mara was afraid of her and prayed to appease her.
Question 1.
Was the headman justified in calling Mara a lunatic? Give reasons.
Answer:
The headman thought that Mara was a lunatic as he was wandering around without any work and also disturbing other
workmen who were busy laying a road. He had shared with some of the workers and the headman his dream about the Goddess
and the Tank.
The headman was not convinced and thought that Mara was only fooling around. Even though Mara’s dream about the
Goddess’ instructions to build a tank to hold the waters of river Veda would have been for the benefit of the village, he was not
taken seriously.
In fact, to avoid Mara meeting the King with his story about the Goddess, the headman made Bhima one of his workmen to keep
Mara captive under his care till the King’s passing their village. But Mara managed to outwit Bhima and landed in front of the
King from a tree and spoke to the King about his dream.
The headman was prejudiced against Mara in calling him a lunatic and definitely not justified in his conclusion.
Question 2.
“Nature is both productive and destructive”. How does the play bring out this idea?
Answer:
Basically nature is goodness personified. It showers its blessings on people in abundance. People must respect what nature
provides them and reciprocate by not destroying nature. When people take care of the nature and environment, it protects
them. Rivers, trees, hills are all part of nature and they are all for the benefit of mankind. When man cuts down the trees, blasts
the hills etc., nature’s imbalance causes floods, land slides and other calamities.
Water flows in a river, and if used wisely serves for drinking, irrigation and other uses. In dry season there may not be enough
water, so excess water coming in torrents during monsoon should be stored by constructing tanks for the waters of the rivers.
When the rivers are over polluted, it results in overflow and floods causing loss of livers, lands and properties. Nature that way,
is both productive and destructive.
Question 3.
How differently did Mara treat the fisherman and the visitor?
Answer:
Mara treated the fisherman in a harsh way because he had violated the command of the Goddess and the orders of the King
that the place was sacred and no life was to be taken there. The fisherman was catching fish there. Mara warned him not to
repeat the same crime again there. Mara’s duty was to look after the tank in a peaceful manner ensuring that no harm befalls
any living creature there and the tank does not get polluted by man or beast.
To the visitor from the farthest part of the kingdom, he spoke softly with kind words and offered him some food also. The
visitor’s village was facing a water scarcity the crops were parching and cattle dying. He wanted some water to be let from the
tank. Maraassured him that by the King’s orders, water was there for everybody to share and that he will do the needful. It
shows that Mara was strict while enforcing the rules but was fair and humane with people’s problems and ready to help those is
need.
Question 4.
Why do you think Mara asked the King to make his son, son’s son and so on, the watchman of the lake?
Answer:
Mara was instrumental in getting a tank constructed at the village for the waters of river Veda. His dream about the Goddess
insisting on the tank was the reason for the King to build the tank and the King rightfully appointed Mara to take care of the
tank. Mara felt that it was the noblest job to provide water to the village and to the other parts of the kingdom and ensuring
that the tank does not get polluted by man or beast. Also, as it was a sacred place, no harm should befall any living being there.
After some years, when the Goddess again appeared in Mara’s dream and threatened to destroy the tank, he pleaded with the
Goddess for permission to go to inform the King and to wait for his return before destroying the tank.
But Mara in an act of supreme sacrifice persuaded the King to kill him in order to prevent his return and thereby save the tank.
He loved his noble work so much, that he requested the King to appoint his descendents as caretakers of the lake after his
death.
Question 5.
In what way do you think Mara’s sacrifice saved the lake? What sacrifices need to be made to save the lakes today?
Answer:
Mara’s sacrifice remains eternal in the history of men who saved lakes. He was the man who didn’t think about himself even for
a single day .but always about others. In other words, his social service is unforgettable to the society, he is the great
environmentalist whom the modem materialists must follow and adore to protect the nature. Mara’s sacrifice of (leaving his
body) taking his last breath is ultimate.
Of course, today’s people cannot do that much but have to sacrifice a little of their wants and needs to protect nature. People
should not pollute rivers in the name of ‘yatras’ and funerals. All superstitious beliefs and must be stopped now.
Man must live according to his needs and not for his wants. For this, he has to follow the examples of tribals who live a
contented life with whatever they get. They do not torture the nature for coal or gold and live in a simple w ay. If men leam to
lead a simple life that is the greatest sacrifice to protect the nature from calamities.

Many times the tone suggests the attitude of the speaker. What kind of attitudes are suggested by the words ‘virtuous’, ‘poor

(or)
Question 2.
What kind of questions does the poem raise about the plight of farmers’ widows? Do you think that these questions are only
addressed to the speaker’s dead husband?
Answer:
The poem “The Farmer’s Wife” is a tragic poem that reflects the helpless conditions of farmers’ widows. The plight of the
widows is explained by one such widow. The poet uses many phrases to contrast her condition with that of her dead husband.
She called the farmer as ‘virtuous’ and herself a ‘poor sinner’.
The farmer was unable to pay the debts and he left all the debts to his wife, so she was very sad on his act of committing suicide.
The feminist concept was also highlighted in the poem, the phrase “I was born with a head bent” justifies die discrimination in
our society between men and women.
Man is born with his head held- high, but a woman is born with her head bent. But he did not face his creditors bravely and left
all this to his wife to solve. She accused her husband that he poisoned himself and gone away by poisoning his wife’s existence.
She remembered the memories of his beating, blaming, drinking, and kicking haunting her. She never dreamt that he would
commit suicide.
It was true that the crop was gone but the debt remained there and dignity had hit the dust. She expresses her helplessness that
how would she be able to bear the burden of their four children. She compared her condition with “worm – eaten cotton pods.”
She got ambiguity and asked what was that and why he committed suicide.
At last, she confidently asserts her determination to struggle out her life even without her husband for the sake of her children.
So, she shows a strong will to survive against all difficulties. Her voice is raised against the society in general.

1st PUC English Textbook Answers Reflections Chapter 10 Frederick Douglass
Question 2.
How does the passage comment on the dreadful experience of slavery?
Answer:
The passage reflects the brutal hidden faces of the masters who treat their slaves cruelly. The slaves were not given proper food.
They were exploited without any freedom. Especially for women it was double exploitation in the name of patriarchy and in the
name of slavery. When the girls at teenage seem to be beautiful for their masters, they use them sexually and if they give birth
to children, the children were sold at the age of infants to avoid their sentimental relationship.
The passage also explains the heart rendering description of walking at nights for several miles of mothers to see their children.
Moreover, they could talk only a little bit because the children would be tired and go to sleep but in the morning they have to go
back for work before sunrise. If they fail, they get whipping. This shows the brutal nature of white masters towards their slaves.
Question 3.
In spite of the hardships he suffered as a slave, why does the author say, “slavery would not always be able to hold me within its
foul embrace”?
Answer:
Since his childhood when he was under slavery, the author had a strong will power that he would not be a slave forever and he
would escape from it, that was his strong faith and spirit in him. This living faith and spirit of hope make him to say that “slavery
would not be able to hold me within its foul embrace” and this did not leave him but remained like a ministering angel to cheer
him through the gloom. The author expresses his gratitude to God because God gave him a good spirit of hope.

Her physical appearance evokes sympathy in the passers-by. Phrases like “bullet holes for her eyes, ‘‘cracks that begin around
her eyes spreat beyond her skin”, and shatter proof crone describe the pathetic condition of her miserable existence.
Question 3.
How does the speaker’s attitude undergo a change?
Answer:
The poet by depicting her physical appearance makes ‘An Old Woman’ more sympathetic The passer-by initially did not show
much sympathy to her but later when he observes keenly her physical appearance and when she offered to become a tourist
guide to show around the shrine, he was very much moved by her condition and admired her self respect.
Here, passer by represents anybody in general. Finally when he feels as if the sky was falling with the sound of plate glass clatter
all around the old crone who was shatterproof and standing alone, he undergoes a change in attitude. So, the old woman was
successful in evoking sympathy from anyone, in front of the temple.
Question 1.
“The old woman reduces the self esteem of the speaker’ and makes him feel that he is nothing more than so much small
change”. Comment.
Answer:
The poem ‘An Old Woman’ by Arun Kolatkar depicts the plight of an old woman. She is a woman who begs around a temple.
Whoever passes around the temple, she grabs their sleeves and stick to them till she gets a fifty paise coin. In the beginning the
passerby was asked for a fifty paise coin but he did not care for her. But she never left him and was behind him and tightenedher
grip on his shirt till he took note of her ,
The poet highlights the traits of old women how they never leave until they get what they want.
The below lines justify –
“You know how old women are
They stick to you like a burr”.
She also laments that there was no other work in those wretched hills and old woman like her could do nothing more than
showing tourist places as a guide. When she questioned, the passer by gazes at the sky through the ‘bullet holes” which are her
eyes and is made uneasy.
Then the speaker observes the cracks under her eyes but he realises cracks are not only on her skin but beyond that. Then “the
hills crack, the temples crack, the sky falls” these phrases suggest that his heart moves for her plight and he gets down from his
self esteem and has a changed attitude.
The phrases “Cracks around her eyes” and “the cracking of hills and temples” suggest the old age of the woman and to become
old is natural as hills and it is God’s gift to get cracks. This alerts us to the fact that everybody will get old and may have to lead a
life like that woman in the poem. By overall view, the poet highlights that the old woman’s self respect is greater than her
begging for a fifty paise coin.
Question 2.
What is the speaker trying to convey through the lines ‘And the hills crack, And the temples crack, And the sky falls’?
Answer:
The speaker is initially irritated by the old woman who holds on to his shirt and does not allow him to go She asked for a fifty
paise coin and offered to take him to the Horseshoe shrine, but he has already seen it. She hobbles behind him. So, he now
wants to get rid of her. When he turns towards her, she asks what she was supposed to do to eke out a living in those wretched
hills.
Looking at her bullet hole eyes and cracked face, the speaker doesn’t know what to reply. He feels that all notions of dignity and
respectability seem hollow when such helpless, old people are left to fend for themselves. He feels guilty and ashamed to face
her as he is not able to help her in any substantial manner. All civilization seems to fall apart at the unspoken question of the old
woman.
Question 3.
How do you relate the ‘cracks around her eyes’ to the cracking of hills and temples?
Answer:
The cracks around her eyes are symbolic of the hardships she has been through. The mountains and temples symbolize the
speaker’s strong contentions about the old lady and our religious belief that giving charity is following dharmia, respectively.
Crack around her eyes extend to the mountains and temples means her determination to live a life of dignity and hard work and
not by charity, and this destroys both the beliefs of speaker and religion.

Question 14.
Where did they go usually on every Sundays?
Answer:
They would visit their village Polcta.
Question 15.
How old are the boys?
Answer:
Nicola, the elder was thirteen and Jacopo was twelve.
Question 16.
Who asks the narrator to drop them at Poleta in his car?
Answer:
Jacopo.
Question 17.
What touched the narrator while driving them back?
Answer:
The silent epic of youthful devotion had touched him deeply.
Question 1.
In what different ways were the boys useful to the narrator?
Answer:
The boys were very useful for the narrator. When the narrator wanted a pack of American cigarettes or seats for the opera, or
the name of good restaurant, they were always there in all these needs w ith cheerful competence. They had also taken the
author on a guided tour to the different places of interest at verona including Juliet’s tomb.
Question 2.
What do you understand about the boys’ character from their action and behaviour?
Answer:
They boy’s character and behaviour prove that they were selfless, sentimental, adventurous,
hard working, do not involve others in their troubles, do not expect sympathy of others, responsible for their sister, sharing work
with each other, never complained their difficulties, optimistic and suitable for the title of the lesson “Two Gentlemen of
Verona”.
Question 3.
The boys are evasive in disclosing their plan to the narrator in the story because
(a) they thought he could never understand their plight.
(b) they did not want to share their problem with a stranger.
(c) they did not want to gain anybody’s sympathy.
Answer:
(c) they did not want to gain anybody’s sympathy.
Their hard working ways seem like that the boys were greedy, but the inner truth reveals their grit and never say – die attitude.
They were really extraordinary’ human beings. The burden of responsibility to their sister and her treatmently heavily on their
tiny shoulders never made them bend under its weight or forsake it They were not even sharing their hardships and pain , with
others. They were not of the kind to extract sympathy and help from others, especially strangers. They were truly gentlemen.
Their fortitude, sacrifice, resilience and courage come as a pleasant surprise.
Question 2.
Had you been in the place of the narrator, would you have behaved differently?
Answer:
Had I been in the place of the narrator. I would have definitely acted in a different maimer. The narrator wanted to respect their
personal feelings and did not intrude upon their privacy I would have felt like helping them in some way or the other. I would
have either asked them directly the reason why they worked so hard and elicit the answers or I would have financially helped
them with whatever I could spare. Maybe, both the options might have resulted in hurting their egos, but that is what my heart
would have advised me and I would have done, under the circumstances.
Question 3.
“Appearances are deceptive”. How does the story bring out this idea?
Answer:
The narrator had assumed that the boys were greedy. based on his observation of them working . very hard. But nobody can
really know or understand the reality bv outward appearance only.
The narrator had erred in his judgement of the nature of the boys, by seeing the extent of their hard work and thinking that they
may be planning to save a lot if money and go to the United States . When he questioned them about their plans they were not
hurt, but answered intelligently evading the issue.
Finally, after the visit to Poleta and knowing the truth, he realised their real ’ qualities. So, one should not get prejudiced by the
outward appearance without knowing the background facts. This experience of the narrator justifies the quote “Appearances
are deceptive”.
Question 4.
War may destroy one’s home but not one’s heart. Discuss the statement with reference to the story of the two boys.
Answer:
War is the element of mass destruction and history’ has plenty of examples of total annihilation of cities and populations. But, it
can only destroy the physical structures like houses, buildings and of course humAnswer:It can never crush the spirit of the
survivors, as in the case of the boys, Jacopo and Nicola.
They had lost everything in the war including their father and their house.
But, their indomitable spirit, toughens them to face the situation bravely, do their might in the freedom struggle and later take
care of their sister’s treatment by the sheer dint of their hard work and determination. They stand out as shining examples for
their courage in the face of adversities and in a wav. war has lost to them and they have emerged victorious.
Question 5.
Do you think the story is a telling comment on the true character of a gentleman?
Answer:
The boys were truly ‘gentlemen’, very refined and sensitive in character. They were devoted to their sister, and in order to earn
money for her treatment undertook all kinds of jobs available in Verona. They sold fruit, shined shoes, ran errands and hawked
newspapers and worked hard throughout the day. This shows that they did not consider any job below their dignity. Though
they were not bom to do such jobs, they leamt them and performed them well. Their eagerness to leam and perform varieties of
jobs demonstrates a -sacrificing, loving nature which is ready to go to any extent to secure happiness of the loved one. They
were also selfless because, very earnestly they saved the money they made to pay for their sister’s treatment but never on
clothes or on themselves. Both of them were proud boys.
They did not discuss their problems with anyone, and very few people knew about their sister and her hospitalization. Even
when the narrator took them to the hospital, they went in by themselves and did not speak-to him about their sister. They,
especially Nicola, did not like to ask for anyone’s help. They display the real characters which exemplify a true gentleman .
The story begins with Luigi’s implication that the two boys might be thieves selling fruits that they had stolen. What unfolds later
proves how wrong his suspicion was. The boys prove to be every inch gentlemen, and gain respect from the narrator. They
arouse feelings of love and respect in the nurse at the hospital too.

1st PUC English Textbook Answers Reflections Chapter 13 Do not ask of Me, My Love
He explains how she seemed so very bright when he had felt that only she was his world. He even exaggerates how her beauty
had given breath to the everlasting spring. Her eyes were everything to him and nothing else was there except her in his world.
He had felt that with her by his side, the world was his and he could attain everything.
But now, he has realised that all that was just an illusion and only his imagination. He gives as his reasoning his realisation that
there out in the wide world were issues, more important than his love for her. He is now more concerned about social problems,
war, destruction, poverty diseases and pain of people and would rather try and solve those problems than stay in his illusory
world of love for his beloved.
He assures her that his love for her has not diminished, but the social problems have taken priority-justified by these lines,
“You’re beautiful still my love, but I’m helpless too. In a way, it is a message to all, that love in youth is quite common, but one’s
country and social problems are more important and deserve concern and commitment from all. The speaker has opted for the
more fulfilling choice Of social reformation than his love.

Garcinia Indica is the biological name of the kokum fruit. This is also known as amsul. It is used as the flavouring agent in dais

to make tangy fish curry called Tenga. One can eat it raw like kachcha (unripe) aam with salt and masala. This prevents cavities.
When we mix kokum with coconut milk, we get the famous ‘sol kadhi’ of the Western Ghats.
Kokum agal or kokum water mixed with lime or pudina is a trend starter. This prevents dehydration and acidity. Kokum sherbet

Read the following passage and answer the questions set on it:
Pheasants are shy, charming birds known for their brilliant plumage. These beautiful birds occupy an important niche in nature’s
scheme of things. The pheasants belong to the order Galliformes and family Phasindac. The Galliformes are known as ‘game
birds’ and this includes pheasants, partridges, quails, grouse, turkeys, and megapodes.
There are 51 species of pheasants in the world and these are shown in the identification chart brought out by the Environment
Society of India (ESI). The purpose of this chart is to create awareness among the members of the school eco-clubs under the
National Green Corps (NGC) of the Ministry of Environment and Forests, Government of India.
Except for the Congo Peafowl, all the other pheasants are from Asia. Scientists believe that all pheasants originated from the
Himalayas and then scattered into Tibet, China, Myanmar, South and southeast countries as well as the Caucasus Mountains.
The jungle fowl and the peafowl spread to South India and Sri Lanka long before the early settlers established themselves in the
Indo-Gangetic plain.
About one-third of all pheasants in the world are found in India. The male blue peafowl (the peacock) is the best-known member
of the pheasant family and is India’s national bird. It occupies a prominent place in India’s art, culture and folklore.

Soybeans belong to the legume family. The beans are the seeds of the leguminous soybean plant. They can be grown in a wide
variety of soils and a wide range of climates. Soybeans are versatile as they can be used as whole beans, soy sprouts or
processed as a variety of food items, such as soy milk, tofu, textured vegetable protein, soy sauce, oil and margarine, and soy
dairy alternatives. They are also used for making candles and bio-diesel.
Soy is excellent protein-rich food. It is low in saturated fats and is cholesterol-free. Vitamin B is plentiful in it. The minerals like
magnesium, calcium, iron, potassium, and copper are found in abundance in soy. It is also rich in fiber. Soy is highly
recommended because of its ability to lower the levels of Low-Density Lipoprotein (LDL), bad cholesterol. The Food and Drug
Administration has confirmed that foods containing soy protein are likely to reduce the risk of coronary heart disease.
An easy way to take soy is to drink it in the form of soya milk. It is not available with added flavours. Soya milk does not contain

Read the following passage and answer the questions set on it:
The US Navy is planning to use Armed Robotic Patrol boats with no sailors on board to escort and defend warships moving
through sensitive sea-lanes. The technology was adapted from NASA’s Rovers on Mars. This will transform how the American
Navy operates and is sure to raise fresh questions and concerns about the widening role of robots in warfare. The office of Naval
Research has released the results of what is called an unprecedented demonstration in August involving 13 robotic patrol craft
escorting a ship along the James River in Virginia.
In a simulated scenario, five of the robotic patrol boats guarded a larger ship, while eight others were ordered to investigate a
suspicious vessel. The unmanned patrol boats then encircled and swarmed the target enabling the mother ship to move safely
through the area. “The demonstration conducted over two weeks, was designed to replicate a transit through a strait”, Naval
Research Chief Admiral Mathew Klundertold reporters in a recent briefing.
The demonstration was a breakthrough that goes far beyond any previous experiment. He also added that a similar robotic
patrol craft is likely to escort US naval ships within a year. The patrol craft is a long vessel. It is known in military as Rigid Hulled
Inflatable Boats. Three or four sailors usually operate them. But as they are fitted with the robotic system, a single sailor could
oversee up to twenty of the vessels.
Unlike drone aircraft, such as the famed “Predator” and “Reaper” planes, the robotic boats are more autonomous and can carry
out directions without having to be operated by a human at every step. “The excitement about this technology is, it is
autonomous”, Mr. Klunder said.
Questions:
(a) Eight
(b) Five
(c) Thirteen.

The credit for making the first war of Independence a memorable event goes largely to Tantya Tope. A man with a commanding
personality, Tantya had courage, zeal, foresight and ability to take quick decisions. He was of immense help to Laxmi Bai and
Nana Saheb. He was the commander-in¬chief of the rebel army at Shivrajpur. The victory of Indian forces at Kanpur was mainly
due to his able leadership.
After capturing Kalpi, Tantya turned it into the main fort of the rebels. He won many battles by confusing the British Generals by
guerrilla tactics. While the British energy was entirely directed to search and capture Tantya, he was busy organizing the force to
ambush the British. His name was synonymous with bravery. For days he wandered in jungles facing hardships but still could
hoodwink the enemy. However, he was unaware of a traitor who deceived him. The British captured him on 7th April 1859. In
the trial, he admitted that all he did was for the sake of his country and he had no regrets. The first war of Independence came
to an end with Tantya’s death.
Tantya was an only child of Pandurang and his wife Rukma Bai. He was, born in Yelva in Maharashtra but brought up in Bithoor
where Nana Saheb lived. He adored Nana and dedicated his life for him. Tantya’s real name was Ram Ghander Rao. He was
involved in rebellions since the Kanpur revolt and remained linked to the war of independence till his death on April 18th, 1859.
Tantya is like Garibaldi in his revolutionary fervour and patriotism.

Passage – 7
Read the following passage and answer the questions set on it:
Gregor Johann Mendel was born in 1822. He was an Austrian monk. In the year 1856, he became famous for his work in a series
of breeding experiments to study plant heredity. He conducted these experiments on the garden pea plant. The biological name
of this plant is Pisum Sativum. This study formed the basis of scientific investigations on inheritance. Not much was known about
genetics till then. Mendel was the first to work on the basic laws that govern the inheritance of genes. Earlier, it was believed
that if a tall person married a short person, the children produced would have intermediate height. But Mendel proved it wrong.
He showed that individual characteristics are passed on to the next generation and would never blend.
For years, he bred and studied the edible pea plant. He chose the pea plant for his experiments for many reasons; they were
small and many could be grown in a limited area; the results of these crosses had been studied earlier; as they were easy to
cultivate because of their rapid life cycles and as the flowers could self-pollinate themselves or even be cross-pollinated under
controlled conditions.
Out of the many features that a pea plant possessed Mendel’s breeding experiments centered on the inheritance of a few
contrasting features. He conducted his experiments using good scientific method. He controlled his experimental conditions
carefully. He ensured that plants were pollinated only by the pollen he transferred. He performed his experiments in three
sequential stages; first, selection of pure line parents, secondly, hybridization and thirdly, self-pollination of hybrids.
Questions:
6. Mention one of the reasons why the pea plants were easy to cultivate.
7. What were Mendel’s breeding experiments centered on?
8. ‘He performed his experiments in sequential stages’. The second stage was
(a) Hybridization
(b) Self-pollination of hybrids
(c) Selection of pure plants.
9. Fill in the blank with the right suffix to the word ‘experiment’ to form its adjective,
(al, ion, ed)
10. Add a prefix to get the antonym of ‘cultivated’ ………………… (an, unj in).
Answers:
Read the following passage and answer the questions set on it:
Propaganda is a systematic effort to influence people’s opinions, to win them over. Propaganda is not concerned with what is
good or bad, true or false. Propagandists simply want people to believe the messages.
The word ‘propaganda’ may seem relevant only in political arena. But this can be applied to advertising too. Every day we see
slogans, commercials, trademarks, etc., in newspapers, magazines and on television. Advertisers depend on propaganda to sell
‘products’ like a brand of toothpaste, a candidate in elections or any viewpoint. Studies tell us that on an average, each of us is
exposed to over five hundred different advertisements in a day.
Card stacking is one method of propaganda. Here propagandists may tell half-truths, distort evidence or divert attention from
one issue to another. Advertisers use ‘weasel words’. These are small words. They usually slip right past us. But it takes a lot of
difference between reality and illusion. The best example is of shampoos – ‘Helps control Dandruff’. But audience interprets this
as ‘stops’ dandruff.
Another method is Bandwagon. Here propagandists try to pressurize. Like, “Everyone’s doing it, why don’t you?” Often
propagandists succeed because many people have a deep desire not to be different. The political ads tell us to vote for the
‘winning candidate’. Advertisers know we always feel comfortable in doing what others do. All of us wish to be in the winning
team and vote for the candidate.
Propaganda is so effective that we need to detect and understand how it is used. Some propaganda sends truthful and worthy
messages – ‘Don’t Drink and Drive’, ‘Contribute to Charity’. Yet we must be aware that we are surrendering ourselves, our
independence of thoughts and actions to others.
Questions:
1. What is propaganda?
2. Where is the word ‘propaganda’ relevant?
3. What are the ideas sold in advertising called?
4. Mention one of the forms of propaganda as given in the passage.
5. How does one advertise in card stacking?
6. What do advertisers use in card stacking?
7. Name the type of propaganda that pressurizes the people.
8. Why do the propagandists succeed in bandwagon?
9. Some propaganda sends (truth / truthful) message. (Choose the right word)
10. Add a suitable prefix to the word ‘comfortable’ to form its antonym, ……………….. (in, un, re)

Passage – 9
Read the following passage and answer the questions set on it:
Smoking kills 9,00,000 people every year in India. World Health Organization (WHO) estimates that smoking-related deaths
worldwide will surpass 9 million annually by 2020, with 7 million of those deaths occurring in developing nations.
People start smoking for a variety of different reasons. Some think it looks cool. Others start because their family members or
friends smoke. Statistics show that about 9 out of 10 tobacco users start smoking before they are 18 years old. Most adults who
started smoking in their teens, never expected to become addicted. That is why people say it is just so much easier to not start
at all.
It is a hard habit to break because tobacco contains a drug called nicotine. This drug is highly addictive. Like heroin or other
addictive drugs, the body and mind quickly become so used to the nicotine in cigarettes that a person needs to have it just to
feel normal. The nicotine can raise one’s blood pressure, heart rate and oxygen demand for muscles, mainly for the heart.
Moreover, the second hand smoke which comes from two places i.e., smoke breathed out by the person who smokes and
smoke from the end of a burning cigarette causes health effects including cancer, breathing problems and asthma. Smoking is
one of the most preventable causes of death in our society. It is an expensive habit. The tobacco industry makes billions of
rupees each year and they do not care about anyone’s existence. All they want is money. The more cigarettes one buys, the
more the company earns.
Today’s generation needs to beware of electronic cigarettes (e-cigarettes). This contains cancer-causing chemicals and other
toxins. This also has a compound used in antifreeze. These battery-operated devices use cartridges filled with nicotine flavorings
and other chemicals and convert them into a vapour that is inhaled by the user. Counselling and medical help need to be sought
for smoking addicts.
Questions:
Answers:
In developing nations.
Before they are 18 years old.
The teenagers never expected to become addicted.
Nicotine.
Nicotine raises the oxygen demand for the heart.
Smoking.
Money or profits.
Counselling and medical help.
Addictive.
Unexpected.

Passage – 10
Read the following passage and answer the questions set on it:
One great Chinese traveller, Hiuen Tsang, had come to India. He studied Buddhism for some time in Nalanda University. While
returning to his country, he carried with him some manuscripts, granthas relating to Buddhism. He was sailing on the Bay of
Bengal to China. Two Buddhist scholars Gnangupta and Tyagaraja accompanied him on board the ship. They had planned to
travel with him till the ship crossed the Bay of Bengal and return to their homeland. Suddenly dark clouds appeared in the sky.
Terrific tempests and cyclonic winds began to blow. People on board the ship feared that the ship would sink. The Captain
ordered that if anyone had any heavy article, it should be thrown into the sea. Hiuen Tsang had heavy manuscripts and granthas.
He got ready to throw them into the sea. Gnangupta and Tyagaraja said to him that these works are ‘treasure house of
knowledge’. They did not want it to be thrown into the sea. Instead they volunteered to jump into the sea.
They confirmed to tell that man’s life is transitory and perishable. Knowledge is permanent and imperishable. They requested
Hiuen Tsang not to throw away these extraordinary granthas. They told that many people would obtain light which would lead
them on the path of ‘Nirvana’ i.e., Salvation. This would result in ‘supreme bliss’. After having said this, the two Indian scholars
jumped into the tempestuous sea. Hiuen Tsang continued his journey and mentioned about these two great people in his books.

Dear Sir
This is with regard to the irregular water supply to our area. For the past one month, we have had water supply only from 10-00
p.m. to 7-00 a.m. This is unacceptable. Water is the basic necessity of life and we should not be deprived of It. In cities not most
live in apartments and small houses with a limited storing capacity. If the water supply is limited to the night time, it poses
problems with regard to bathing, cooking, washing, etc. Please ensure that there is water supply at least for two hours each in
the morning and evening. Though this too would pose problems, it would at least be better than the present situation. Please
take immediate action and help us out in our predicament.
Thank you.
Yours faithfully,
Venkatesh Adiga
