Identification and Explication
Read the following passages, identify the
author (full name) and the source (full title) and briefly answer (in about
150 words) the questions:
1. A singular disadvantage of the sea lies in the fact that after successfully
surmounting one wave you discover that there is another behind it just as
important and just as nervously anxious to do something effective in the
way of swamping boats. ...As each slaty wall of water approached, it shut
all else from the view of the men in the boat. ... There was a terrible
grace in the move of the waves, and they came in silence, asve for the
snarling of the crests.
Author:_____; Title:_____
* What kind of narrator do we have here? How do the perspective and the voice
contribute to the purpose of the story?
2. The bot resisted whatever he suspected was meant for his improvement and
contrived when he was vieally interested in something to lieave the
impression he was bored. Sheppard was not deceived. Secretly Johnson was
learning what he wanted him to learn－that his benefactor was impervious to
insult and that there were no cracks in his armor of kindness and patience
where a successful shaft could be driven.
Author:_____; Title:_____
* How does the author use irony in this passage? How does our perception
(hindsight?) of the irony assist in out understanding of the meanning of the
story?
3. ... For some time nobody said anything, then Laird said matter-of-factly,
"She's crying."
"Never mind," my father said. He spoke with
resignation, even good humour, the words which absolved and dismissed me
for good. "She's only a girl," he said.
I didn't protest that, even in my heart. Maybe it was true.
Author:_____; Title:_____
* What is the theme of the story? How does this passage contribute to the
theme?
4. She could see in the open square before her house the top of trees that
were all aquiver with the new spring life. The delicious breath of rain was
in the air. In the street below a peddler was crying hes wares. The notes
of a distant song which some one was singing reached her faintly, and
countless sparrows were twittering in the trees.
There were patches of blue sky showing here and there through the clouds
that had met and piled one above the other in the west facing her window.
Author:_____; Title:_____
* What kind of symbolic reading can one make of this passage? How is it
related to the whole story?
5. Fujio! Even when you have become a young man, laugh with pleasure at a
girl's delight when, told that it's a grasshopper, she is given a bell
cricket; laugh with affection at a girl's chargin when, told that it's a
bell crickets in this world. Probably you will find a girl like a
grasshopper whom you think is a bell cricket.
Author:_____; Title:_____
* How does this contemplation of the narrator add another dimension to the
story? By imaging Fujio as a young man, how does the meaning of the incident
in the story change?
