CLASS 6-NATURAL VEGETATION

CLASS 6-THE CHOCOLATE - CREAM SOLDIER

The Chocolate-Cream Soldier

EX A1.

Q1.

A1.The man describes a cavalry charge a 'funny sight' because he is an experienced soldier who sees no glory in war and so has a different view about it. To him a cavalry charge is like slinging a handful of peas on a window pane -first one soldier comes, then two or three follow close behind him and then all the rest in a lump.

Q2.

A2.According to the stranger the first man in the cavalry charge that day was the funniest of sights.He led the charge with much animation and a war-cry. He represented a person who was under the illusion that he had done a great thing. Whereas in reality he had committed the gravest of mistake of leading his regiment into a suicidal attack.

Q3.

A3.Raina thought Sergius was nobel and brave but the man thought that he was the biggest fool. According to him he ought to be court – martialled for leading himself and his regiment into a suicidal attack. He had been lucky because the enemy did not have cartridges.

Q4.

A4.The 'soldierly thing' that Raina wanted to do was to help the man escape. She wanted to go to the balcony to check if it was safe for him to climb down.

Q5.

A5. 'It' refers to death. The man did not have the courage to walk into the streets full of soldiers who would not hesitate to shoot him down in cold blood.

EX A2.
1.
a) Serguis is being referred to here.

b)The exaggerative and overly dramatic quality of Sergius is being implied by this comparison.

c)The people in the enemy camp nearly burst out with laughter at the sight of him charging in the overly heroic manner.
  

2.
a)The speaker of this line is the soldier from the enemy camp.


b)The thought of climbing down the balcony and into the street filled with enemy troops makes the speaker giddy.


c)The speaker had come up fast enough because he was being chased. But now after having rested for a while in the comforts of a cosy room,the prospect of going back and facing death makes him
afraid.

CLASS 6-PIANO

Piano

EX A1.

Q1.

A1.The song takes him back to his childhood days.

Q2.

A2.The child is the poet when he was very small.He would be sitting beneath a grand piano as his mother played it,taking his mother's elegant feet into in small hands and listening to the loud chords of music.

Q3.

A3.The poet's heart weeps as he yarns to return to happy days of his childhood.

Q4.

A4.He longs to go back to the old Sunday evening in winter when it used to snow outside and they,mother and son, used to sit in the warm comfortable indoors and sing melodious hymns with the help of the piano.

 

EX A2.

Q1.

A1. The poet has reached adulthood, a stage in life which is related with independence of will and power of right. But he still anticipates giving all that up. He longs to go back to his childhood. He is so overcome emotionally that he throws away the ego of his manhood,breaking the unquestioned law that a man isn't supposed to show emotions by crying for his childhood.

Q2.

A2.The poet who was listening to the lady singing now feels it would be futile for her to continue as he is already so affected by his childhood memories that he is just physically present ,his mind is elsewhere.Without any consideration for his adulthood,he bursts out into tears recalling his childhood years.

Q3.

A3.The words 'betrays me back' show the immense struggle that the poet goes through with his own opposing longings.The need to remain firmly footed in his adulthood and the extreme longing to give up for the innocence and thrills of childhood rip him apart and he gives in to the latter.
 

Q4.

A4.The poet shows a man experiencing nostalgia as he listens to a woman singing which reminds him of his childhood.The music brings back his childhood memories of sitting at his mother's feet while she played the piano.
