Q.2. Attempt any TWO parts of the following questions            [200-225 words each].[10*101 
i) Discuss the use of Irony in highlighting the character of Ustad Mangu in the story “The New Constitution” 
Ustad Mangu was a tongawala. He was an illiterate , fellow; still he had knowledge about 
everything and had a good understanding of things. One day he was carrying two fares in 
his tonga. Perhaps they were money-lenders and had come to Lahore District Courts for 
some case. Ustad Mangu heard them talk about a new constitution that would come into 
force from April 1,1935. One of them hoped that a lot in India would change as well. 
Mangu's joy knew no bounds when he heard that. According to the writer, Ustad 
Mangu was already in seventhheavens because of his thinking that the new constitution would give him equal human rights which he was denied then 
He considered the news so great that he wanted to tell it as soon as Mangu's joy knew no bounds when he heard that. According to the writer, Ustad Mangu was already in seventh heavens because of his thinking that the new constitution would give him equal human rights which he was denied then. He considered the news so great that he wanted to tell it as soon as possible to all his friends and companions. When Nathoo came in, he cut a joke on him, ‘l have great news for you. It’s so good that it might make your hair grow back'. 
He ihought that the new constitution was going to force these white nee once for all to go back into their miserable holes. He had bending towards the left. So he thought that the Russian king [according to him, every country was ruled by a king] must have forced the goras to enforce the new constitution and give equal rights to all the Indians. So he was excited. One day he had two barristers at the back of his tonga.They were talking loudly about the same new constitution. They were talking mostly in English, so Ustad Mangu was unable to follow it. But he drew out a result that the two barristers were todies' as they did not seem to like the new constitution. 
 Three days later, Ustad Mangu picked up three students of Govt College who were going to Mozang. They were also along about the new constitution and hoped that it would give hem some benefits. In the light of all this information, 
Ustad Mangu hoped feverishly and excitedly that the lot of the common Indian would change with the enforcement of the new constitution. But all his high hopes were shattered when he was arrested ad put behind the bars for beating a gora soldier who had vsuted and abused him. His expectations did not come true ad he was mercilessly told*. What rubbish are you talking? What new consitution? It is the same old constitution, you W Due to illiteracy, he thinks with his own ideas. So although he has innocent views but it seems as foolery 
ii) How far would you agree that Take Pity is a story of human sympathy developing into love? 
“Take Pity" is about the feelings of sympathy develop into love. This story is the undaunted struggle of a woman, named Eva, a Jewish widow. 
Rosen was a coffee salesman. One day, Rosen went to see Kalish, the husband of Eva. He had come to know la Kaiish had died. 
Rosen sympathetically advises Eva to shift elsewhere (o avoid the creditors. But she refuses to do so. She is advised to start a new life by marrying a man of her own choice. But she is finished with marriage. Rosen offers her to marry him. She rejects the offer because it is motivated by pity, not love. 
charity. She fails to understand that pity and charity are as valuable human values as love and compassion. Rosen starts with taking pity but a time comes when he really starts loving Eva. So he makes his will that ail his property would go to Eva " after his death. In a fit of dejection, he attempts to commit suicide but is saved. 
After his suicidal attempt, he is taken to a mental hospital. There he narrates his story to a fellow who comes to find out the real cause of his attempt. As soon as he finishes his story, he sees Eva standing outside the window. She seems to accept his love. But this time, Rosen fails to understand her true emotions. The sight of Eva enrages him. He insults her and orders her to get off. So he shuts the window of love and pity that remains open in his heart for so long. 
<h3 style="text-align: left;">
(iii) What is your impression of Susan? How is she different from Lucy? </h3>
Ans:Susan represents the Victorian morality. She is a conservative woman and gets shocked to see the activities of Primrose. She thinks her an almost lost woman. She advises Lucy to disinherit Primrose of all her property to mend her ways. But Lucy rejects this advice. 
At the end of the play, we see the mother and daughter arguing with each other on the issue of marriage. Primrose tells her mother that marriage is a joyly fine institution. It provides pleasure and security to a woman. She knows about her weak social position. She is practical in her approach regarding marriage. Her man may be of ugly appearance but his physical appearance is smokescreen. He has a loving heart. His economic condition is sound and he has dependable character. She believes that her marriage with such a person would be most suitable for her. 
Lucy is a liberal and broad-minded woman. Her married life is a failure. She marries a charming man who deceives her. So she divorces him. She faces the challenges of life with courage and determination. She attains a good standard of life by virtue of patience and hard work. She runs her business successfully but she fails to pay proper attention to her daughter. Primrose. She remains worried about her daughter. 
Q.3. Attempt any TWO parts of the following questions [200-225 words each].            (10+10) 
<h3 style="text-align: left;">
(I) What is the theme of the poem “The Huntsman”? </h3>
<a href="https://www.blogger.com/blogger.g?blogID=4540382126610807499" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"></a> The poem narrates a story which is very simple. Butj throws light on two very important facts of life: First, life is a complicated thing, full of unexpected turns. Sometimes, a huntsman who is the master of situation becomes the hunted He falls a prey to a remorseless fate. Second, talking is a good thing and a great gift of God. But when a man talks, he should be cautious, of talking before the king. But Kagwa spoke and met this fate. The skull spoke when it was necessary to tatc First to surprise Kagwa and second, to get Kagwa killed. Kagwa learnt this truth too late. He realized after death that he should not have talked about the strange incident. Human life sometimes presents a person with a highly ironical situation in which he unknowingly moves to his destruction through the knowledge that he applies to othere That is, what he teams as the cause of the death of anothet person becomes very soon the cause of his own death. In the poem, the Kenyan huntsman, Kagwa, found the skull of a man in a forest while hunting a lion. The skull told him that talking was the cause of its owner’s death. Kagwa reported this matter to the king, who sent his guards to the skull. But, new the skull did not say anything, and so Kagwa was put to death Later, Kagwa’s skull told others that his talking was the cause of his death. The story, thus, brings out the theme of the ironical human situation in which many people do not avoid the cause of their death that they know to be that of the death of others. Thus, fate does not allow them to avoid death through the knowledge they already have to avoid it. (ii) What are the qualities of the Reb 
Such a fellow is always behaving in the most odd fashion to look distinguished in the society. When everybody in the society has short hair, he has long hair, when everybody else has long hair, he grows short hair. Similarly, if discussion about the lesson is the common way, he keeps quiet; if everyone keeps quiet during the lesson, he tries to discuss it by speaking off and on. 
When uniform is the fashion Of the day in society, he wears coloured clothes; when wearing coloured clothes becomes the fashion, he weans serious-type of clothes When m sts in the company of dog-lovers, he talk about his love for cats; when everybody is talking about cats, he shows Ns love tor dogs. 
When everybody loves to sit in the sun, he talcs about te need for rain; when rain comes and everybody is happy for l he feels sorry for the absence of sunlight When everybody in the society 
goes to the meeting, he stays at home and reads a book; when others stay at home and read books, he goes to the meetings. 
When people readily greet offers, he rejects them; when everyone else rejects the offers, he readily accepts and greets them. Having such (pseudo-) rebels in society is a good thing although one may not like to be one oneself. 
(iii) What is Keats afraid of death? Describe with reference to the poem When I have Fears?gives us hope and strength to look ahead. The most trifling incident and the greatest disaster 
should be faced without tears. The art of losing, in fact, means to live life, hoping for the best, and to 
be ready to face and accept the worst. 
In this sonnet, John Keats has presented some certain fears which he has in his mind. In this sonnet, 
he has expressed his fears about his untimely death. He is afraid because he may die before he has 
put his ideas on paper which he had in his mind. He wants to compose many books but his death 
will not allow him to do so. The heap of books would be a granary full of ripened grains. He says 
when he looks at the starry night full with huge cloudy symbols of high romance, he feels 
sorry because he would not live alive to enjoy these charming elements of nature. He would not 
be able to see the fair creature or his beloved’s face. His other fear was that he would not enjoy 
the beauty of stars at night as well as his beloved.At last he finds himself at the brink of the world. 
He was emotional because of his fear about the said above due to his incurable disease.His shapes his thoughts as: 
When I have fears that I may cease to be Before my pen has gleaned my teeming brain 
This is what but his emotional state of mind due to the fear of untimely death in his mind. 
He would not enjoy the one-sided love. He finds himself among these fears and 
then standing alone on the shore of the world, he thinks that love and fame have no importance for 
the dying man.

questions [200-225 words each]. </div>
<h3 style="text-align: left;">
(i) Discuss the importance of images in the essay Whistling of Birds? </h3>
The essay Wlstling of Birds by<a href="https://educational-wealth.blogspot.com/2019/05/dhlawrance-biography_4.html" target="_blank"> D.H. Lawrance</a> artistically contrasts the charm of the spring with the ravages of winter, the devastations of chilly frosty winter with the warmth and revival of spring. The winter symbolizes death and spring symbolizes life. The frost stays for many weeks until the birds start dying rapidly. Everywhere in the fields and under the hedges lie the lagged remains of lapwings, starlings, thrushes, redwings and innumerable ragged bloody cloaks of birds, when the flesh has been eaten by invisible beasts of prey. Then quite suddenly the change occurs. The chilly cold wind vanishes and the warm cozy wind starts blowing. In the afternoon, there are little gleams of sunshine and doves begin to cook, with a' laboured sound as if they are still winter stunned. In the evening, wild birds begin to whistle faintly in the black thorn thickets. The silvery sounds echo in the evening. Although the earth is still littered in the corpses of the winter-stricken birds and the earth still seems to be dead, yet the birds, notwithstanding all this, continue there whistling rather dimly and brokenly. They still seemed to be dominated by the gloom of winter. However, they are awarded that the new world has generated out of the ashes of the death. The cooing and singing of birds announce the arrival of spring, the awakening of earth from its deep and long slumber in the winter but such a transition from death to life is unbelievable. The turtle voice from the land and the birds whistle from the bushes. The wood pigeon bubble, the silver shining thrush and the black bird sing melodiously. All above depicts that whistling of the birds is a symbol of life. 
<h3 style="text-align: left;">

Q:5 Attempt any two parts of the following questions[200-250 words each] 
<h3 style="text-align: left;">
(1) DO you think that old man possess a positive mind set.</h3>
Santiago is an old man. He is a fisherman by profession. He fishes also in a skiff in the Gulf-stream near Havana, Cuba. The old man is thin and gaunt with deep wrinkles in the back of his neck. His face has brown blotches. His hands have the deep-creased scars for handling heavy fish on the cords. Everything about him is old except his eyes. They are of the same colour as the sea and are cheerful and undefeated. He is the central character of the novel. The story of the novel deals with his struggle against a big fish and some sharks. We can study his character under four aspects. 
The most important quality in the old man is his self- confidence. He is old and weak yet he has full confidence in his strength. He has the fighting power against bad circumstances. He struggles for 48 hours against the big fish. He fights very bravely against the sharks. He is tired and exhausted. He loses everything. But he is not ready to yield. He is destroyed but he is not ready to accept his defeat. 
The old man has the Christian virtues of humility, natural piety and compassion. When the boy praises him, he is not flattered. He knows that others are better fishermen than he. He is kind to his fellow beings. He believes in God and prays to Him in trouble. He is compassionate to all. He feels pity for the birds who fail to catch any fish. But he knows that he is a harsh fisherman and he cannot do otherwise without. 
The old man is very humorous. He is never harsh or angry. He talks to the fish in a funny way. When he catches the fish, he apologises to them and then kills them. He praises himself for his courage and confidence. He thanks God because the fish are not as intelligent as human beings who kill them. He prays to God that he will make a pilgrimmage if he catches the fish. 
The old man has a symbolic importance in the novel. He represents man in conflict with the forces of nature. He is only a simple fisherman. But through his great struggle, he rises to the level of a hero. His relation with Manolin is also symbolic.The boy is a symbol of his lost youth.

 (ii) DO you think that the novel "The old man and sea" possess tragic dimensions?</h3>
There is an abundance of meaning in this story. As always, Hemingway’s code hero, who in this novel is Santiago, has a message for us. The message is that while a man may grow old and be wholly down on his luck, he can still dare, stick to the rules, persist when he is defeated and thwarted, and thus by the manner of his losing win a moral victory. On another level, the story can be read as an allegory entirely personal to its author, as an account of his own struggle, his determination, and his literary vicissitudes. Like Hemingway, Santiago is a master who sets out his lines with more care and precision than his competitors. But he has not had any luck for a long time. Once he was very strong, the champion; yet his whole reputation are imperiled now, and he is growing old. Still he feels that he has strength enough; he knows the devices and techniques of his trade; he is resolute, and he is still out for a really big success. He did prove his strength before, but he has got to prove it again, and he does so. After he has caught his prize, the sharks come and take it all away from him, as they will always try to do. But he caught it, he fought it welt, he did all he could and it was a lot; and at the end he is happy.

(iii) Is the old man a cowardly character?</h3>
The old man, Santiago, is not a cowardly character. He is a fisherman lives in a village. He fishes for living. He has to go without a fish. Our first impression of Santiago is that of a failure. But as we go through the novel, we find a man who is resolute, courageous, strong and undefeated. 
This old man is thin and gaunt. There are deep wrinkles in the back of his neck. He has brown blotches on his cheeks. His hands have deep creased scars from handling heavy fish. Everything about him is old except his eyes that are of the colour of the sea and are cheerful and undefeated. 
Santiago is the best fisherman of all. Santiago is an idealist. He considers fishing is more than occupation. He thinks that it is a way of life. He is conscious of the moods of the weather and sensitive to sunrise. He is well-aware of the far-off hills. He knows the thrill of the contest between man and fish. He is conscious of the patience of man in front of the sea. He believes in love, loyalty and respect. 
Santiago is man of determination and resolution. After eighty days’ failure, he decides to far out to catch a big fish. He succeeds in catching a big marlin but he losses the battle at the hands of sharks. He is ready to fight beyond the limits of his strength. We can’t say him defeated as he has gone on trying. He is morally victorious. His belief in that “the man can be destroyed but not defeated” sets up him a man of strong determination.
