Poem- Uphills

 

Q 2 Answer the following questions in 30-40 words.

a.     The speaker is a traveller who questions a guide about the journey that he/she is on. He/She asks and receives answers about whether the journey will wind up-hill all the way and take all day long, whether he/she will recognise the place to rest, and will there be others on a journey and if a kind reception awaits him/her.

 

b.     The inn stands at the top of the hill and offers rest to those who have spent the entire day climbing. It stands out in the darkness of the night and sheds a powerful light. It represents security.

 

c.      The traveller is reassured that the door will be opened upon his/her arrival and those who have gone before will be ready to greet him/her. So the traveller won’t have to wait for long when he/she reaches the inn.

 

d.    The traveller is promised ‘beds for all who come’ to the inn. The image of the beds indicates rest, comfort, shelter and security. After a long struggle, the idea of resting is all that the speaker can look forward too.

 

Q 3 Answer the following questions in 100-120 words.

a.     The road winds uphill all the way because the road of life is a continual journey upwards. In the poem, the poetess draws on the imagery of flames, mountains, stairs and hills to emphasise on the upward progression of the spiritual journey. She suggests that the soul is moved upwards away from the earth and its pleasures as it learns more of God and heaven. The poetess emphasises on the idea that the upward progression of the soul is not a simple and easy process. Lots of distractions, concerns and doubts can weigh a person down and the upward movement can turn into one of a struggle instead one of joy.

 

b.    The road symbolises the journey the traveller takes because instead of being straight, the fact that it is winding and uphill suggests that the path is long and difficult. However, there is actually a road leading up the hill indicates that plenty of others have already taken the route that the traveller is contemplating. The speaker will not have to carve or find his/her own path since it has already been revealed to him/her. The road can be interpreted as literally as a long unseen destination; metaphorically, as representing the path that life takes; and a pathway and journey of faith.

Huck meets the Duke and the King

 Weave 1- Huck meets the Duke and the King

Q 1 Answer each of the following questions in 30-40 words

a)    Jim and the narrator were shocked when the young man solemnly and in confidence told them the secret of his birth. He said he was born a duke.

 

b)    The young man felt that though he was the rightful Duke of Bridgewater, he was forlorn, torn from his estate, degraded, hunted by men, despised by the cold world, tired and heart-broken. He felt that it was his fault for the kind of life he was leading.

 

c)     The young man said that he was the rightful Duke of Bridgewater. He asked Jim and the narrator to do something as frivolous as wait upon him and address him as ‘your Grace’/‘My Lord’ in order to make him feel better. The old man cried and declared that he was the Dauphin. He couldn’t correctly pronounce his name or the names of his parents.

 

d)     The narrator had learnt from his father that the best way to get along with people is to let them have their own way. He had no objections to doing that as long as it would keep peace in the family.

Q 2 Answer each of the following questions in 80-100 words.

a.     Jim and the narrator pitied him and tried to comfort him, but he said if they could acknowledge him, that would do him better than anything else. They agreed they would, provided he told them how. He said they ought to bow when they spoke to him, and say 'Your Grace’ or 'My Lord,' or 'Your Lordship' and he wouldn't mind it if they called him 'Bridgewater’ which he said was his title anyway. And one of them ought to wait on him at dinner and do any little thing for him that he wanted to be done.

 

b.     The old man didn't look comfortable over all that was going on around the ‘duke’. He seemed to have something on his mind. So, he told the ‘duke’ that although he was sorry for him, he was not the only person who had problems like that. He was not the only person who had a secret of his birth. Saying this he began to cry. He narrated that he was the poor disappeared Dauphin- ‘Looy the Seventeen’. He was the wandering, exiled, trampled-on and suffering rightful King of France.

B. Interrogation

we can ask the same question in three different ways to get the answer ‘Oui/Non’.

1.    Intonation

Write the sentence as it is and just add question mark

e.g. Tu as un stylo?      -  Oui, j’ai un stylo.

2.    Add ‘Est-ce que’

Add Est-ce que in the beginning of the sentence.

e.g. Est-ce que tu as un stylo?    - Oui, j’ai un stylo.

3.    Inversion – write the verb first and then the subject

e.g. As-tu un stylo?     - Oui, j’ai un stylo.

Note –1)  If there is tu/vous in the question, use je/nous in the answer and accordingly change the verb endings.

2) If there is il/elle in the sentence, while doing inversion add ‘–t-‘ in between the verb and the subject.

e.g. Il range la chambre.       Range-t-il la chambre?

If any of the above type question is asked answer is given with ‘oui/non’.

If the question is asked in negative and the answer is affirmative, use ‘Si’ instead of ‘Oui’.

e.g.  Tu n’as pas un stylo?

         Si, j’ai un stylo.
