Question 6 (A)What are the narrator’s views on his ‘saheb’? Do you agree with the narrator’s view when he says, “I, for one, always keep to my place, always observe decorum.”?........


The narrator thinks sahib like the same pattern things. He likes dak Bangla's. sahib likes the old place very much more than his comfortable bungalow at the headquarters. he has an odd liking for queer places, uncouth people. If he didn’t, would he choose to be buried in this place instead of staying peacefully at the headquarters like other sahebs if his clothes are not ironed properly or his shoes not shined enough or if the driver shows up ten MINUTES LATE.

YES, I AGREE WITH THE NARRATOR VIEWS  “I, for one, always keep to my place, always observe decorum’’. A young man needs to go out once in a while with his mates, watch a movie, have a few drinks, that kind of thing. Instead, in these places, after ironing Saheb’s clothes and making his bed and arranging his papers and arguing with the cook over his meals, I have nothing to do but stare at the piles of sand and the wall of sky. I have noticed a strange thing: the sky seems solid and close when you are out here in the desert-like it wants to shut you in forever. You may think me odd, Sir, but watching the burning dunes by day and listening to the sand screeching in the open desert at night would make anyone odd. I am not saying there is anything wrong with my Collector Saheb. If he prefers this dak Bangla over all the other places, that’s his choice.

NARRATOR has never spoken about all this to Saheb.HE keeps HIS  thoughts to himself.

A. “The narrator of passage 1 comes from a happy, cultured family.” Comment on the given statement, with examples from the passage . My father, Jainulabdeen, had neither much formal education nor much wealth; despite these disadvantages, he possessed great innate wisdom and a true generosity of spirit. He had an ideal helpmate in my mother, Ashiamma. I do not recall the exact number of people she fed every day, but I am quite certain that far more outsiders ate with us than all the members of our own family put together.   My parents were widely regarded as an ideal couple. My mother’s lineage was the more distinguished, one of her forebears having been bestowed the title of ‘Bahadur’ by the British. I was one of many children—a short boy with rather undistinguished looks, born to tall and handsome parents. We lived in our ancestral house, which was built in the middle of the 19 th century. It was a fairly large pucca house, made of limestone and brick, on the Mosque Street ...

  Prayer Before Birth  Q3 (A)  In the Poem (passage 2), the phrase “I am not yet born; oh hear me” is repeated throughout  the poem. What effect does this paradoxical refrain create in the poem?...... "Prayer Before Birth" is a poem by the Anglo-Irish poet Louis MacNeice, written during World War II and first published in MacNeice's 1944 collection  Springboard . The speaker, an unborn child, prays for future guidance and protection from the horrors of the modern world, and possesses great foresight about humankind's capacity for self-destruction and violence. The speaker ultimately insists that, if this prayer cannot be answered, the speaker would rather not be born at all. The poem is thus a damning condemnation of the state humanity found itself in around the middle of the 20th century. The speaker makes a desperate plea (most likely to God, given that this is a “prayer”) asking for strength and guidance to navigate the world—a frightening, violent place in t...
