In this essay the writer gives her view about tolerance in the reconstruction of the world after World War II. According to the writer, two things are needed for building the European nations. First is the sound state of more » HubPages

mind and the second is t olerance. The writer points out that Second World War has brought great destruction in its wake. The pubic leaders, politicians, economists and traders are putting forward their views to rebuild Europe.

About Me

According to the writer, the real solution to the problem is psychological and not political or economic. All planning and policies of reconstruction can only succeed if there is proper state of mind behind it. England can be made beautiful if the people of England build every street and every house of England with devotion and motivation. The second thing for the reconstruction of England is tolerance. He is of the opinion that we can restore peace and order once again in the world if we practice tolerance with one another. Tolerance is a great virtue that can reconstruct human civilization once again. According to the writer, people talk much about the reconstruction of their country or nation. They f orget that they cannot build their nation unless they have a sound state of mind or right psychology. In public affairs, nations do not know much about one another. In the rebuilding of civilization, less dramatic and less emotional thing is needed. In his view, it is tolerance. iv. Ans .

What are Russell's views about Science and Values? (Science and Values) This essay is a part of Russell’s book. “The Impact of Science and Society”. Here he throws light on the relation between science and society. He says that science can be used to know this world as well as to change this world. When science is used to change the world, the result may be good or bad. Value men as some principle or quality that is valuable and desirable in itself. Science is closely related to values in the sense that its use can result in good or bad things, desirable or undesirable things, and happiness of mankind or suffering of mankind. Then Russell suggests how man should use science. If used unwisely, it can intensify Tyranny and war. If used wisely, it can confer two kinds of benefits. It can diminish bad things, and it can increase good things.

Write a character sketch of the woman depicted in the poem. Is an idealization of some kind necessary for our survival as sane human beings? (Woman’s Work).

Ans .

The woman mentioned in this poem is very hard working. She gets up very early in the morning. She prepares breakfast cleans the floor, feeds the children, presses the clothes, and buys foodstuff from the

1

bazaar. She is very patient and never grumbles during her work. She is imaginative also. She has her dreams of an ideal life. She yearns to go outside and enjoy sunshine, rain, winds, dew drops. She thinks of the mountains, the oceans, the trees, the star shine and moon glow. Such idealization is necessary in life. It saves us from the boring effect of our routine life and keeps us sane. ii.

Discuss in detail the use of elements of suspense and irony in The Huntsman. (The Huntsman).

ShafiSons Bookservice View my complete profile


Ans .

The poem “The Huntsman” by “Edward Lowbury” is full of suspense and irony. In this poem the poet discusses an example of a huntsman and creates a suspense that goes to the end of the story. Suspense means a state of uncertain expectation. “Irony” is a situation of which the result is quite contrary to our expectation. In this poem, the poet has made an effective use of the elements of suspense and irony. There is the element of suspense because the poem keeps the interest of the reader up to the very last. We do not know what will happen next. There is also the element of irony because the huntsman expected a prize but instead he is killed. The reader of the poem remains in suspense till the last of the poem and remains curious to know what happens the next. But at that time when he finds that the men of the king killed the huntsman then he becomes very sad and feels sorry for him. This is a great irony that the reader finds.

iii. Ans .

Write down a critical appreciation of the sonnet, "When I Have Fears". The poet of this poem named John Keats died at the very young age. The theme of the poem is the fear of early death. This poem is autobiographical. The poet was suffering from T.B. He knew that his death was near. The theme of this sonnet is fear of death. He fears that he may die young before writing all his poetry, before giving shape to his ideas. Death will deprive him of the beauty of Nature and the beauty of his beloved. Then he expresses his indifference to love and fame. On the whole the poem is very beautiful. We share the feelings of the poet.

iv . Ans .

Make a comparison between Tartary and Kubla Khan. Both the poems “Tartary and Kubla Khan are imaginative poems. In both of the poems the poets have wished some of the unnaturally things. The Wishes that could not be fulfilled are made by the poets in these poems. In the poem Tartary the poet Walter De La Mare is describing about the land somewhere in the east. The poet wishes to go to this land and be its ruler. Then he thinks of what he will have there. He says by being the lord of Tartary, he would enjoy sleep on beds made of ivory. He would sit on a throne made of gold. The poem Kubla Khan by Coleridge is the best poem of the poet. Though it is a fragment, it is the most satisfying poem of Coleridge. It does not contain any profound idea; its beauty lies in its atmosphere. In this poem the poet relates that Kubla Khan, the first Mongol Emperor of China, ordered a magnificent pleasure house to be built a Xandau. It was to be built near the scared river Aleph. The area of ten miles of fertile ground was enclosed with wall and towers. The river ran into a lifeless ocean amidst wild noise. Kubla Khan heard voices of his dead ancestors telling him that war was near. The palace he built was a strong one. It was a miracle of care device. Therefore it can be said here that comparatively both the poems are imaginary. In these poems the poets have seen about the dreams of which could not be fulfilled easily. Both the poems have described some of the fairy atmosphere. The reader sees that in both the poems the unnecessary wishes have been shown and are not to be fulfilled in the real world.

The Old Man and the Sea by Hemingway Q.5


i. Ans .

The Old man fights against the Marlin to the very end without being despaired. Discuss. Santiago was an old fisherman. Once for 84 days, he could catch no fish. On the 85th day, he went far out into the sea. At noon he was able to hook a big Marlin. After a struggle of 48 hours, he was able to kill the fish. He was able to defeat the fish in three stages. At the first stage, he saw the stick dip sharply. He at once learnt that a big fish was eating the bait. Then he felt a hard pull. The big fish swam off with the bait in its mouth. Santiago learnt against this pull and weight of the fish. Four hours passed but the fish was swimming steadily towards the North-East. The old man solidly braced with the line across his back. At sunset time it was still the same. He softly said, aloud, “Fish, I’ll stay with you until I am dead”. At the second stage, near the noon of the second day, the line rose slowly and steadily. Then ahead of the boat, the fish came up. The old man saw that the marlin was two feet longer than the skiff. But he was not afraid. He cried aloud: “But I will kill you before this day ends”. At the third stage, on the morning of the t hird day, the M arlin rose again. Now it was tired and weak. It was tired and weak. It began to circle the boat. The old man tried to pull the fish close enough for harpooning, but in vain. His hands were pulped and he was nearly blind with fatigue. Yet he decided to make a final attempt on the ninth circle. He forgot his pain, gathered his strength and put it against the power of the fish. The fish came over on to his side and swam gently. Its bill was almost touching the planks of the skiff. The old man lifted the harpoon as high as he could and drove it down with all his strength into the fish’s side. The fish rose high out of water. Then it fell into the water with a crash. The old man saw the fish on its back with its silver belly up. He had killed the fish. The first forty-eight hours of struggle were over.

ii. Ans .

Discuss the ending of the novel. This novel has 1a tragic ending. Some of the critics and readers have objected to this end of the novel. According to them, the story takes us nowhere. In the first part of the story, the old man struggles against the big fish and gains it. In the last part of the story, the old man fights against the sharks and loses the big fish. So this story of great gain and great loss is esthetically satisfying. The writer has a purpose in writing this story. He is not concerned mainly with the good or bad end. He wants to show that life is a contest, a battle that requires skill and courage. The value of a life does not

Page 4 of 8


depend on success on failure. Greatness lies in continuous struggle and indomitable will. The old man loses the battle he has won. But he does not lose heart. He says: “Man is not made for defeat. A man can be destroyed but cannot be defeated.” Without the present end of the story, the writer could not have explained his point. iii. Ans .

Narrate the hand game competition between the Old Man and the Negro. The old man remembered the time in the public house of Casablanca where he had played the hand game with the great Negro from Cienfuegos. He was the strongest man on the ducks. The trial of strength between the Negro and Santiago lasted one day and one night. There was a table in the house. A chalk line was drawn on it. They raised their arms straight up and gripped each other’s hand tightly. Each one was trying down the hand of the other on the table. There were many spectators. The room was lighted. The spectators betted. They went in and out of the room. Santiago looked at the arms and the hands of the Negro and at his face. Both the contestants were strong. They exerted all their strength. The result was that blood came out from under the fingernails of both. They looked each other in the eye and at their hands. The chances in favour or against would change back and forth all night. Peoples served the Negro rum and lighted a cigarette for him. After drinking rum, the Negro put in added strength. There was a time when Santiago was near to defeat but the old man raised his hand again. The old man released all his strength and forced the hand of the Negro down. Now Santiago was the champion. There was a return match, but the Negro has been sufficiently demoralised.

iv . Ans .

What were Santiago's views about his failure? The old man keeps up his spirits when the hunted fish is attacked by the sharks. He fights with the sharks

and kills them with his knife, harpoon and later on with his club. But he couldn’t beat the sharks during the way to the coast due to his loneliness “I wish I had the boy. To help me and see this.” The sharks take away the best part of the hunted fish but he is not disappointed. He encourages himself saying, “Do not think old man. Sail on this course and take it when it comes”. In the end, he sleeps peacefully and dreams of lions. He asks the boy to prepare his fishing gear as he wants to go on another expedition this time with him. All this shows that the old man sustains his hope and optimism till the end of the novel.
