ib
t
A: Tagore’s “Gitanjali” is a famous book as a song of offering. The present poem “This is my prayer
a
to Thee my lord” is taken from Geetanjali.
r
Tagore dreamed for a heaven on earth. The poem begins with an appeal to the Almighty (God) for

blessings. Tagore believes that poverty of a person is not lack of wealth. It is lack of kindness at
du
heart. So he prays to God to make his heart free from poverty of kindness.

and slump with sorrows. The poet wants the strength to bare joys and sorrows with lighter heart.

What is the theme of the poem, “As I Grew Older”?
A:

The poem “As I Grew Older” is written by Langston Hughes. Hughes is a black poet. He wants
non-racist society. He has a dream for the bright future of his race. He feels that nothing can stop to
fulfill his dream. The poet begins the poem with a recollection. It is symbolic. When he was a child,
he had a dream. He nearly forgot the dream. Once it appeared bright like sun. It was bright because
he was innocent. He could not realize social and racial difference.
Now a wall raises between poet and his dream. It is a wall of injustice. It blocks the sunlight. He
is very much disappointed. He lies down in the shadow. As the poem comes closure, the poet’s tone
becomes hopeful. He wants to break the wall. He wants to drive the darkness. He wants to smash
the night. He wants to drive the shadow with bright sunlight. He is sure that there will be an end to
racial discrimination. Every one should have a dream. Everyone should try to fulfill the dream.
A: The poem “The Body” is an English translation of K.Siva Reddy’s Telugu Poem. In the poem, the
poet describes greatness of human body. The poet says that our body has great capacity to do any
kind of task. He closes his eyes. Still he can hear sounds of door movement, noise of fan and sound
of sweeping floor. His body floats like a ship. It floats in the words which are as powerful as sea.

The poet says that his body is a warship which carries powerful weapons of words. The body is
just like a very good field. It is as good as basic elements such as air, water and fire. Words take
birth from womb. They strike others just like powerful ocean weaves. They enclose the sky and
bring rain like clouds. Our body contains words as sweet as fruits. Our body also produces words

where they can win a variety of articles, pincushions, sweing machines, cameras or even a road
engine. The narrator wins a road engine in the lottery. The narrator feels thrilled at winning such a
rare prize. The prize brings him unexpected troubles. He cannot shift the road engine. There is no
use of the engine for him. The Gaiety land moves away. The municipality asks him to vacate the
grounds. Then he hires a temple elephant, 50 men and a driver to move the road engine. As they
move the engine, it rans into a compound wall and the narrator ends up in jail.
A swamiji comes to the town to perform yogic feats. He wants a road engine to perform a feet. But
it is averted by the police. Nature offers a relief to the narrator in the form of earthquakes.

c) How is “The Last Leaf” by O.Henry, a story of hope, friendship and sacrifice?
A: “The Last Leaf” is an interesting short story written by O.Henry. He always gives surprise endings
to his stories. The present story is about unselfish sacrifice of an old artist to save the life of a young
artist.
et
Sue and Johnsy are two young artists. They live in Newyork to make their living. It is the time of
a.n
Pneumonia. Jhonsy suffers from Pneumonia. Her condition is serious. Even the doctor has no hope
of her recovery. Johnsy can see an Ivy plant through the window. There is severe wind and snow
h
outside. The plant gradually loses its leaves. Sue has taken it to her mind. She feels that she will die
b
when the last leaf falls. She does not agree with Johnsy. She asks Johnsy to divert her mind from
the leaf and to take rest.
ati
The next morning, Sue finds one last leaf on the vine. She feels that her end will come. Through
pr
out the day there is wind and rain. The next morning there is a surprise to Sue. She still finds the
last leaf. It brings hope to her. She feels that she is not going to die. The reality is different. The leaf
du
she saw on the wall was painted by Behrman. The previous night he painted the master piece in bad
weather. He is an old and sick man. He becomes weak and dies after twodays. This great sacrifice
a
of the old man touches our heart.

Tagore insisted that education should be imparted in an atmosphere of nature with all it’s beauty,
colours, sounds, forms and such other manifestations. In his opinion, education, in natural
surroundings, develops intimacy with the world and power of communication with nature. Nature,
according to him, was manuscript of God. So he emphasized that education must enable a person to
Jr. INTER ENGLISH
realize his immediate relationship with nature. It should take the child nearer nature and, therefore,
in close proximity of God. It should help him to learn freely and spontaneously from the book of
Nature. Since nature never betrays the heart that loves her. She will provide the child with
spontaneous development and natural growth.

Animal and Plant species have begun dying or changing because of global warming.
ad
There are trends of animal population moving northward if they can, of species adapting slightly
en
because of climatic change, of plants blooming earlier, and of an increase in pests and parasites. The
most noticeable changes in plants and animals have to do with the earlier onset of spring. The best

Emperor penguins have dropped from 300 breeding pairs to just nine in the western Antarctic
Peninsula. Polar bears are dropping in numbers and weight in the Arctic; two-thirds of a certain frog
species which lives on mountain tops have died. Population of animals that adapt better to warmth
or can move and live farther north are adapting better than other populations of the same species.

The architects of the Indian Republic hoped that, as secular ethos took roots, democratic institutions
spread and a secular – scientific outlook consolidated itself, the Indian society would outgrow the
evil of caste system. This did not happen. What has happened is that the India of our dreams began

egalitarian society. This has happened by default. Today there is widespread cynicism on whether or
not the war against caste is winnable, experiences spread over five decades of nation-building leave

Many people think of bees simply as a summer time nuisance. But these small and hard working
n
e
insects actually make it possible for many of your favourite foods to reach your table. From apples
.e
to almonds to the pumpkin in our pumpkin pies, we have bees to thank. Now, a condition known as
Colony Collapse Disorder is causing bee populations to plummet, which means these foods are also
w w
at risk. In the United States alone, more than 25 percent of the managed honey bee population has
disappeared since 1990. Researchers think this Colony Collapse Disorder may be caused by global
w
warming, pesticide use and habitat loss. Bees are one of myriad of other animals, including birds,
bats, beetles and butterflies, called pollinators. Pollinators transfer pollen and seeds from one flower
to another, fertilizing the plant so it can grow and produce food. Cross – pollination helps at least 30
percent of the world’s crops and 90 percent of our wild plants to thrive. Without bees to spread seeds,
many plants – including food crops - would die off.

There are three stages in meditation. The first is what is called [Dharana], concentrating the mind
upon an object. I try to concentrate my mind opinion this glass, excluding every other object from
my mind except this glass. But the mind is wavering ....... When it has become strong and does not
waver so much, It is called [Dhyana], meditation. And then there is a still higher state when the
differentiation between the glass and myself is lost [Samadhi or Absorption]. The mind and the glass
Jr. INTER ENGLISH
are identical. I do not see any difference. All the senses stop and all powers that have been working
through other channels of other senses [are focussed in the mind]. Then this glass is under the power
of the mind entirely. This is to be realized. It is a tremendous play played by the Yogis. (from Swami
Vivekananda’s lecture Meditation).

Anything worth having doesn’t come easy. When it comes to money, one can either be born with a

silver spoon in one’s mouth or work to get rich. Since not everyone can be born rich, most rely on

their jobs to get them to the top of the monetary ladder. It is not easy to secure a high-paying job.

Such posts require in depth knowledge and proper qualifications from good institutes. Management
professionals are the highest paid in India. They are the soul of any organization. Their role is to

SECTION – B
Throughout the 1700’s and 1800’s, continual rebellion occurred as the Indian people tried to drive
the British out. The British government took control of the East India Company after a large
rebellion in 1857. Conditions for the sepoys, Indian soldiers in the British army, caused unrest
among them. They had lower pay than the Indians of the upper caste and saw discrimination in
matters of privilege and promotion by the British officers. The situation which finally pushed the
Jr. INTER ENGLISH

soldiers to rebel was that tallow from cows and lard from pigs were put into the gun cartridges. The
soldiers had to bite off the tallow or wax before putting them into their rifles. This offended both
Muslims and Hindus for religious reasons. Mangal Pandy, a 29 year old sepoy played a key role in
Sepoy Mutiny. He urged the other sepoys to revolt against the British. Most of these rebels were
defeated by spring, 1859. However, the revolt brought about great changes in relations between India
and Britain.
