ENGLISH आठवीं- A VISIT TO CAMBRIDGE

A Visit to Cambridge
1. (i) Did the prospect of meeting Stephen Hawking make the writer nervous? If so, why?
Answer: When normal people meet disabled people they tend to look sympathetic and give advice to have courage. The author was fed up of this attitude of normal people. He was apprehensive that some of the assistants of Professor Hawking may show same attitude. That is why he was nervous.
(ii) Did he at the same time feel very excited? If so, why?
Answer: Stephen Hawking is a celebrity because of his startling discoveries in astrophysics. Anybody can become excited at the prospect of meeting such a celebrity.
2. Guess the first question put to the scientist by the writer.
Answer: The likely first question put by the author can be as follows, "You mast have been brave to overcome your physical disability".
Professor Hawking’s statement that he was not brave rather it was compulsion for him to live with his disability indicates towards this.
3. Stephen Hawking said, "I’ve had no choice." Does the writer think there was a choice? What was it?
Answer: The author thinks disable people do get a choice. And that choice is to live creatively in spite of the obstacle of your disability. Once a disable person accepts defeat he will always be a burden for himself and for others. But if in spite of the disability he tries to excel in his chosen field then he becomes an asset for himself as well as for society. He should always be positive that he can also contribute towards his society.
4. "I could feel his anguish." What could be the anguish?
Answer: Stephen Hawking’s body is unable to keep pace with his vibrant mind. His mind is faster at thinking newer and newer ideas, while his body allows him to express his thoughts at a much slower pace. It must be like dreaming to fly only to find that somebody has clipped your wings. Anybody will feel the anguish and frustration in such situations.
5. What endeared the scientist to the writer so that he said he was looking at one of the most beautiful men in the world?
Answer: The way the author empathized with the scientist made him feel happy from inside. The fact that author was a little bit like Stephen Hawking also helped in matching their wavelengths. As a result there was a smile on Hawking’s face.
Beauty lies in the eyes of the beholder, is a very old saying. The definition of beauty varies as per situation and subject. The weak, pale and disable scientist may not look beautiful at all through conventional angle. But the radiance of intelligence and self-satisfaction of attaining so much in terms of discovery make Stepehn Hawking on of the most beautiful men in the world.
6. Read aloud the description of ‘the beautiful’ man. Which is the most beautiful sentence in the description?
Answer: The sentence describing the inner glow of Hawking’s personality which makes his physical looks irrelevant is probably one of the most beautiful descriptions of beauty.
7. (i) If ‘the lantern’ is the man, what would its ‘walls’ be?
Answer: The physical body is the ‘wall’ of the ‘lantern’
(ii) What is housed within the thin walls?
Answer: Within the thin walls of the ‘lantern’ is nothing but light which has the power to enlighten you.
(iii) What general conclusion does the writer draw from this comparison?
Answer: Everyone is a distinct soul and the soul is our true identity. The physical body is just like an accessory playing the supporting role.
8. What is the scientist’s message for the disabled?
Answer: Professor Hawking’s message for the disabled was that they should do things at which they are good.
9. Why does the writer refer to the guitar incident? Which idea does it support?
Answer: The writer was trying a thing he was not naturally inclined to do. It led to unnecessary embarrassment and waste of time for him. The incidence supports the advice given by Hawking.

The Duck And The Kangaroo
Said the Duck to the Kangaroo,
‘Good gracious! how you hop!
Over the fields and the water too,
As if you never would stop!
My life is a bore in this nasty pond,
And I long to go out in the world beyond!
I wish I could hop like you!’
Said the Duck to the Kangaroo.
‘Please give me a ride on your back!’
Said the Duck to the Kangaroo.
‘I would sit quite still, and say nothing but “Quack,”
The whole of the long day through!
And we’d go to the Dee, and the Jelly Bo Lee,
Over the land, and over the sea; —
Please take me on a ride! O do!’
Said the Duck to the Kangaroo.
Said the Kangaroo to the Duck,
‘This requires a little reflection;
Perhaps on the whole it might bring me luck,
And there seems but one objection,
Which is, if you’ll let me speak so bold,
Your feet are unpleasantly wet and cold,
And would probably give me the roo-
Matiz!’ said the Kangaroo.
Said the Duck, ‘As I sat on the rocks,
I have thought over that completely,
And I bought four pairs of worsted socks
Which fit my web-feet neatly.
And to keep out the cold I’ve bought a cloak,
And every day a cigar I’ll smoke,
All to follow my own dear true
Love of a Kangaroo!’
Said the Kangaroo, ‘I’m ready!
All in the moonlight pale,
But to balance me well, dear Duck, sit steady!
And quite at the end of my tail!’
So away they went with a hop and a bound,
And they hopped the whole world three times round;
And who so happy, — O who,
As the Duck and the Kangaroo?
EDWARD LEAR
This poem is about a duck and a kangaroo. The duck is getting bored of swimming
all day in its small pond. It wonders at the magnificent hopping skills of the
kangaroo. The duck asks the kangaroo if it can take a ride on kangaroo’s back and
see the whole world in doing so. The duck promises that it will sit quietly and not utter a single word except quack. This statement is somewhat hilarious because all the
word a duck can say is quack.
The kangaroo is apprehensive of getting cold because of wet feet of the duck. The
duck has already found a solution to this. It says that it has brought a woolen socks
to wear. The socks will help kangaroo protect against the feared cold. The duck has
also brought a sweater and would smoke cigar to keep away the cold.
Now the kangaroo is convinced and ready to let the duck take a piggy-back ride. It
allows the duck to sit still on its tail.
Finally their joyride begins and they encircle the earth three times!.

Jodie’s Fawn
The Duck And The Kangaroo
1. What had happened to Jody’s father?
Answer: Jody’s father was bitten by a rattlesnake.
2. How did the doe save Penny’s life?
Answer: Penny’s son Jody killed a doe and used its heart and liver to counter the
snake’s poison. It seems like an age old home remedy to cure snake bite.
3. Why does Jody want to bring the fawn home?
Answer: The fawn has become an orphan because its mother was killed by Jody. He
wants to bring the fawn to return the obligation because he was the one who made
the fawn an orphan.
4. How does Jody know that the fawn is a male?
Answer: Jody’s father shared with him that in a male fawn the spots are all in a line
and in females they are randomly arranged. This knowledge helped him recognize it
being a male fawn.
5. Jody didn’t want Mill-wheel with him for two reasons. What were they?
Answer: Jody was not sure if the fawn was dead or alive. If it was dead then Jody
didn’t want Mill-wheel to see the disappointment on his face. If the fawn was alive
then Jody did not want to share his happiness with anybody else.
6. Why was Mill-wheel afraid to leave Jody alone?
Answer: Mill-wheel was afraid of Jody losing his way in the jungle. That is why he
did not want to leave Jody alone.
7. How did Jody bring the fawn back home?
Answer: Although it was a baby but still it was too big for a child of Jodie’s age.
Jody carried fawn for some distance and as the fawn developed confidence on Jody,
he allowed the fawn to walk along with him. There were repeated episodes of Jody
carrying the fawn and the fawn following Jody।

8. Jody was filled with emotion after he found the fawn. Can you find at
least three words or phrases which show how he felt?
Answer: The sentence, “Jodie couldn’t trust himself to move” says about the pleasant
disbelief Jody felt after finding the pawn. The touch of fawn made him delirious.
Feeling delirious is like felling the height of delight. While holding the fawn Jody was
feeling like holding a fragile gift. The statement that it felt like made of bone china
indicates towards this.
9. How did the deer drink milk from the gourd?
Answer: The fawn was not used to have milk from a pot. It suckled on Jodie’s fingers
to drink milk instead.
10. Why didn’t the fawn follow Jody up the steps as he had thought it
would?
Answer: A step can be a surprising thing for a jungle fawn. It may have been frightening
for the fawn. That is why the fawn refuse to climb the steps.
11. Why did Penny Baxter allow Jody to go find the fawn and raise it?
Answer: Penny Baxter was impressed with the way Jody kept his nerves and saved
his father’s life. Moreover, he was also impressed by Jodie’s desire to give sustenance
to the orphaned fawn.
12. What did Doc Wilson mean when he said, “Nothing in the world ever
comes quite free”?
Answer: It is fact that the life is full of give and take. Doc Wilson is of the opinion
that to repay the fawn for its mother’s sacrifice it was mandatory to nurture it.
13. How did Jody look after the fawn, after he accepted the responsibility
for
doing this?
Answer: Jody rescued the fawn from the jungle. After bringing it to home he helped
it to have milk. This shows the level of commitment Jody was having towards taking
good care of the fawn.
14. How does Jody’s mother react when she hears that he is going to bring
the fawn home? Why does she react in this way?
Answer: Jody’s mother is worried about feeding the fawn within her limited means.
She agrees later after Jody was ready to part with his share of milk for the fawn।
