II. Annotate ANY TWO of the following in about 10-15 lines each : (2 × 4 = 8)
Question 1.
Books, Tis a dull and endless strife
come hear the woodland linnet.
Answer:
Context: These lines are extracted from the poem “The Tables Turned” written by William Wordsworth. These lines suggest how the poet creates interest in the study of nature.
Explanation: The poet thinks that nature is the main source of education. He shuns the books. Laborious study of the books is not advisable. Moreover it is an endless process. Rather than studying things from the books, the poet says, study of nature helps us to learn more. He wishes that everybody should know the importance of the wealth of this world. A bird like the linnet exhibits its happiness. One should know that the birds even though they have no knowledge of the book, enjoy the blessings of this nature. So, one should leave the books and know the importance of nature’s bounty.
General relevance: The wealth of the nature is to be recognised by all. The birds are happy because they enjoy the knowledge got from nature.
Question 2.

At the deep source of universal joy.

Fate wants to control but it cannot. It is undone before the talents of the writer. Universal joy is there in the mind of the writer. The writer cannot become a puppet in the hands of Fate.
General Relevance : It is known that, inspite of all the efforts of Fate, the writer wins the battle. The brave heart is led to victory.

Explanation : The mother describes how her role in the family, is important, the mother takes care of the children. She feeds them, gives them warmth at the time of need, and helps them flourish in life. Till the time they grow they will be in the lap of the mother. Eventhough the hearth in the house do not have the heat, the mother gives them the warmth. Here ‘me’ is use for the mother. If the mother is removed, the children shall be spoiled.
General Relevance : A mother is so important that no family or children can thrive without her. The condition of children shall be spoiled. So woman has the chief role in a family.
Question 4.
All are architects of Fate Working in these walls of time.
Answer:
Context: These lines are taken from the poem “The Builders” written by H.W. Longfellow. Here people are compared to builders. The life is the structure and time controls it.
Explanation: These two lines reveal the aim of the poet. People in this life lead their life in the order they want to have for themselves. Time moves on, deciding the fate of each and every person. The experience they have each day can be compared to a block, in the construction of the building. The future, whether great or small depends upon the things used for the construction.
General Relevance : The comparison of life with a building makes one, thoughtful. Time is the main source of construction which controls the quality of the building.
III. Answer ANY TWO of the following questions in about 10-15 lines : (2 × 4 = 8)
Question 1.
How do studies cure the diseases of the mind ?
Answer:
Francis Bacon was a great English essayist. In the essay ‘Of Studies’, he gives the benefits of studies and the importance of reading books. Being an essayist with great knowledge and experience, he tells us that studies are useful to cure some diseases of the mind. History can improve wisdom and poetry can improve imagination. Physical exercies cure the body weaknesses. Similarly, mathematics can cure the weakness of wavering mind. Weak thinking can be cured by the study of philosophy. For memory loss, the study of law shall work as a remedy. Thus study of books is useful not only to acquire knowledge but also to get the weaknesses treated.
Question 2.
What is meant by working like a master but not like a slave ?
Answer:
Swami Vivekananda was a great thinker and an orator. He became the disciple of Sri Ramakrishna Paramahamsa. He said ‘Work is Worship”. He explained that a work has got both good and bad intentions. The secret of work according to the author is that we have to work unattached. One should work like a master but not as a slave. When we think of a slave, he works but he expects something in return. He should work with love only. Selflessness is happiness. Existence, knowledge and bliss are the three aspects one should possess. God works but his work is a master’s work. There is love in it. Therefore master’s work will help the society. The secret of work lies in this service.
Question 3.
Explain the experiments of Bose about the growth and reaction of a plant.
Answer:
Aldous Huxley was an English Writer. He wrote a number of books. ‘J.C.Bose’ is an essay taken from the book “Testing Pilate:” It is about the experimenting on Seience and Technology. The author visited the institute of J.C.Bose, in Calcutta. He found that very small things were used by the scientist. At the institute the growth of a plant was shown on a smoked glass. While feeding, a plant exhaled oxygen and when the vessel was full, there rang a small bell.
If there was sunlight on the plant, the bell rang often. When it was gloomy, the bell stopped ringing. If a stimulant was added the bell rang wildly. Thus the growth and reaction of a plant was shown by J.C.Bose.
Question 4.
What was the accident that Dr. Barnard had ? How did he react to the accident ?
Answer:
Dr. Christian Barnard was a heart surgeon and a writer. He wrote the essay “In Celebration of Being Alive” giving his experiences at the time of an accident. Once when the doctor and his wife were crossing the road, there was an accident. A car hit them, both were in the hospital for sometime. At this time, the narrator had a doubt as to why, God could put him into trouble. Once when his father was alive, he said that God would test the individual by giving troubles at times. He was not satisfied. But when he saw two small boys, both having severe physical deformities, driving the breakfast trolly, he realised the fact. He thought that one should celebrate being alive.
IV. Answer ANY TWO of the following questions in about 10-15 lines: (2 × 4 = 8)
Question 1.
What is the appropriateness of the title ‘ The builders’ ? Do you agree with the poet about building one’s water ?
Answer:
‘The Builders’ is an interesting poem written by the great American poet H.W Longfellow. The poet compares men to builders. An individual’s life is controlled by time and he is the one who rc structs the building of life. According to the poet; everybody plans iia life according to his will. He experiences something and advances based on the previous experience. Everyday’s work is taken as a block in the construction of the building. There are people who build their character on good behaviour, with good blocks. Those lives have become buildings suitable for the dwelling of God. Thus people have to build huge buildings of character. The poet suggests the title, ‘The Builders’ and it is quite apt.
Question 2.
How does the poetess portray the bond between the mother and her children in the poem “Any Woman” ?
Answer:
Katharine Tynan wrote the poem “Any Woman”. The poem is an interesting account of a woman in the house. She describes how a mother is interested in her children. The mother is like a pillar in the family. She is like the heat from the Sunlight giving warmth to her ‘ children. She shows love towards the children and they grow happily in her lap. She is like a twist bringing all the children together. If the care of the mother fails, the children shall be spoiled. A mother decorates the house, prepares the food for the childrenguards them from all dangers. Thus she has the affection and the children grow under the care of a mother.
Question 3.
Attempt a critical appreciation of the poem “On his having Arrived at the age of twenty three”.
Answer:
On His Having Arrived at the Age of Twenty Three1 is a poem written by, John Milton. It is a sonnet. A sonnet has fourteen lines. In the first eight lines, we find a problem and in the last six lines the solution is given. In the first part, Milton has a complaint against God. He tells that time is like a thief and he has no buds or blossoms in life. His ambition for writing has no progress. So groans in his mind. But afterwards his introspection help him to understand reality. God is the taskmaster and he endows everything out of his grace. Everything in this world is directed by God. Whatever is given to an individual, is given according to his will. Thus the poem is about maturity of mind and talents.
Question 4.
Why does Wordsworth consider nature to be a good teacher ?
Answer:
The Tables Turned’ is a famous poem written by William Wordsworth. He was a romantic poet and his love towards nature is of great value. The poet believes that nature is the main source for education. From books, we learn only a little but nature gives us complete knowledge. The beautiful scenery, the lustrous plants and trees, the birds and all that is there give us complete knowledge of the creation. The birds do not read books but they know the secrets of this world. For research, we dissect and kill certain creatures. But if we have an affectionate heart, we can acquire a lot of knowledge from the nature. So, the poet thinks that the nature is a good teacher.
V. Answer ANY ONE of the following questions in about 25 lines : (1 × 8 = 8)
Question 1.
Write the character sketch of Tom Sawyer.
Answer:
Tom Sawyer was the young hero in the novel “The Adventures of Tom Sawyer” written by Mark Twaim, an American writer. Tom was a boy of a tender age. He was a misfit in the school. His behaviour with Becky Thatcher is interesting because he had a liking for her. He expressed it boldy. He was equally like by the girl. Tom had another friend, Huck- leberry Finn, who was emtidy, and spent his time fishing and summing. Tom liked this boy because he wanted to have adventures in life.
Tom went to the graveyard one day along with Huck, to see the ghosts. It was a mysterious experience for him. The three men who came there to rob a dead body quarrelled among themselves. One of them, a doctor was killed by Injun Joe. Tom was frightened to watch Injun killing the doctor. Tom had a liking to wander and his stay at Jackson’s island, was wonderful.
The parents arranged a funeral, thinking that Tom and Huck were dead, which indeed created a humorous occasion for Tom’s jolly mind. Tom’s presence at the church created a hilarious situation. Tom’s determination to save Muff Potter and his brave witness at the court, adds to his virtuous behaviour. His relationship with Becky Thatcher was .very much appreciative.
Tom wanted to save Widow Bougals. His determination to punish Injun Joe and his pursuasion in the search of the treasure in the cave, were note worthy. Tom got the treasure and changed Huck, the dirty, lazy and unworthy boy to a neat and tidy boy. Thus Tom was typical of the days of Mark Twainer in America.
Question 2.
Give a character analysis of Huckleburry Finn.
Answer:
Huckleberry Finn is an important character along with Tom Sawyer. Though Tom happens to be the prominent and dynamic character, its role become complete with the help of this character.
Huck was an outcast, without a house to live in. He had his father but he was a drunkard without paying any interest at the life of Huck. Huck became a friend to Tom because he seemed to be adventurous. Huck could attract Tom with his strange descriptions and oaths. When Tom wanted to go to as a pirate, Huck accompanied him. When they attended the funeral mourning of themselves, Huck’s behaviour was acceptable to Tom.
When there was the search for the hidden treasure, Huck helped Tom. Huck was daring enough to pursue things lonely. Huck knew the plan of Injun and his companion, to kill Widow Dougals. He did not hesitate to interfere in the matter. Moreover he took the help of Mr. Welsh. Thus his role becomes important at the right time. Huck is untidy in the beginning but became civilised in course of time. He could not enter into anybody’s house in the beginning, but became an important figure, when he saved the life of Widow Dougals. The character of Huck supplements the character of Tom. The novelist showed his skill in carving the characters, in the novel, “The Adventures of Tom Sawyer”.
Question 3.
Describe in detail the major incidents in which Tom and Huck were involved.
Answer:
Mark Twain wrote the novel “The adventures of Tom Sawyer” depicting the conditions of young boys, in America, in his time. Tom Sawyer and Huckelberry Finn are the two important characters in the story.
Torp was under the care of Aunt polly and Huckleberry Finn was an out cast whose father was an aweful drunkar Finn was accustomed to while away time. He did not think of his dirty dress or dirty habits in general. But Tom liked him. He admired him because he seemed to be adventurous. The two boys turn out important events in the story.
In the beginning Tom wanted to see the ghosts at the burial ground. Both of them went there and found the doctor killed by Injun Joe. It was a gruve some event and they did not forget it for a long time. They left their places and wanted to become pirates. When they left the houses, people thought that they were dead and arranged the funeral. Both of them enjoyed the occasion well. Tom and Huck followed Injun and watched his activities. Thus Huck helped Tom in this search.
For the treasure available at the dilapidated house, both went and tried. Huck traced the spot and Tom traced Injun. He found injun to have been dead in the cave. The position of Huck was Changed. He became a neat and tidy person. He became someone in the society. All this happened because of Tom’s effort only. Huck was adopted by Widow Dougals because of Tom only. Thus the important events happened by the effort of both of these boys.

My dear Udayasri
How are you ? How are you studying ? I received your letter and noted the contents. I felt very happy for you getting highest marks in your class. As you know, the Board of Intermediate Education has introduced the grading system in the results, instead of marks. It is a very good decision. It avoids tension from the students and removes unhealthy competition.
Now I have found that getting a good grade is not very difficult. If you attend the classes regularly and follow instructions, you can get a good grade. If you get more than 91% of marks, you are awarded 10/ 10 points in each subject. Based on the average of all subjects, your grading is fixed. There is no doubt that grades bring in several toppers and avoid committing of suicides of students for the sake of ranks.
I find that grades are good and encouraging and appreciate the BIE for introducing it. I suggest you to put in hard work and get quality education without feeling any tension of marks and ranks. Convey ‘ my profound regards to your parents and best wishes to your brother.
With love
Yours lovingly

XV. Read the following passage and make notes. (1 × 5 = 5)
Is it possible for the colour of a uniform to affect the outcome of a sports match ? British anthropologists (scientists who study human behaviour) think so. In 2004, researchers studied the results of Olympic competitions in boxing, tae-know-do, and wrestling. These sports were great to study because uniform colours were randomly assigned. In each sport, contestants wearing red had a slight advantage. Those with red uniforms won a little more than half the time. Was this a matter of chance ? Or did red uniforms suggest danger and strength to opponents ? Many scientists have studied “the red effect.” Some have found that the colour of wrestler’s uniforms may affect a referee’s scoring. But nobody knows for sure. It’s not clear what effect red has on players, opponents, referees, and fans, or if it has any effect at all. It’s a great question to ask. And until it’s answered, you can be sure there will be many teams who are pinning their hopes on red.
Answer:
According to British Scientists – results of Olympics and Wrestling – contestants with red uniforms had a slight advantage.
Doubt is not cleared – the red effect – It may affect a referee’s scoring – players, opponents, referees and fans – the effect is not known – many teams opt for red uniforms.
