B. Imagine you are the narrator of passage 1. Write a diary entry in about 350-500 words describing a typical day in your house.



Dear diary,

 

Today I wake up early and see my father coming back from a very old mosque about 4 miles from our home after reading namaz and he brings a dozen coconuts tied together thrown over his shoulder. I don’t know the exact number of people my mother

fed outsiders but I am quite certain that far more than all the members of our own family put together. after feeding all the outsiders I and my mother ate together, sitting on the floor of the kitchen. She places a banana leaf before me, on which she then ladled rice and aromatic sambhar, a variety of sharp, home-made pickles, and a dollop of fresh coconut chutney and it is was soo delicious and after that, I played with other children from our locality.

 

In the evening me and my father take me for evening prayers in our locality where we all neighbors. I had no idea about the meaning of the Arabic prayers chanted, but I was convinced that they reached God. When we came out of the mosque after the prayers, people of different religions were sitting outside, waiting for my father. Many of them offered bowls of water to my father in which father dips his fingertips in them and says a prayer. This water was then carried home for them.

 

On the way home, we met Pakshi Lakshmana Sastry is a very close friend of my father’s and I remembered two men, each in his traditional attire, discussing spiritual matters and then I asked my father about the relevance of prayer and he gave me the most mesmerizing thought I ever heard.  My father told me there was nothing mysterious about prayer. Rather, prayer made possible a communion of the spirit between people. “When you pray,” he said, “you transcend your body and become a part of the cosmos, which knows no division of wealth, age, caste, or creed.”

 

When we get home I saw people visiting our home to offer thanks after being cured. My father smiled and asked them to thank Allah, the benevolent and merciful.

 

I enjoyed the whole day I learned so many new things and met new people. That’s my day.


Bye and see you soon.

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 ...

DU SOL Q3 A Part "Prayer Before Birth" In the Poem, 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  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...

DU SOL English Q 6 PART 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.”?

  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 wit...
