Q. read the extracts given below and comment on the value of freedom and education and how important it is for the growth of civilization and humanism.( A) But Ramlal was worried about Bholi. She had neither good looks nor intelligence.(Bholi)

B)However, for Valli, standing at the front door was every bit enjoyable as any of the elaborate games other children played. (Madam Rides the Bus

Explanation:

Sulekah had been referred to as Bholi as she was a little  behind her peer group in her mental attributes owing to a part of her brain been damaged due to a fall when she was ten months old. An attack of small pox left her permanently scarred too. Her speech was faulty and she stammered while speaking and was ridiculed for it. She had no encouragement or support from her parents and consequently she was a timid girl with low self -esteem and totally devoid of confidence. It was a twist of fate that Bholi’s future was made better when her father was forced to enroll her in the primary school for girls  upon the insistence of the Tehsildar.At school, it was with her teacher’s encouragement that she gained confidence and developed a sense ofself-esteem. The transformation is evident when she refuses to marry Bishamber, who being greedy and selfish commanded no respect from her. At the end she is referred to as Sulekah as a mark of respect for her rejuvenated spirit and confidence. She got determined to be a teacher in the school where she had imbibed the most invaluable lessons of her life. She also deserves the honour for her wisdom and her sensibility and obligation in supporting her parents in their old age

.Valli’s deepest desire was to undertake a bus ride at least once. Her desire to experience a bus ride was realized by systematic and organised planning. She had collected all the useful information by observing and planning and making discreet inquiries about the time of the bus, the duration of the journey as well as the fare. She was focused and saved every penny to finance her trip and finally accomplished it by efficient execution of her plans. Valli embodied characteristics of spunk and strategic approach in achieving her desire, though she was only a small girl of eight. Thus, the lessons throwlight on the value of freedom and education is important for the growth of civilization and humanism.

everyman: morality play

which phrase in this excerpt from the play everyman refers to god's judgment of people's souls after their death?

messenger: . .

ye think sin in the beginning full sweet,

which in( the end) causeth thy soul to weep,

when the body lieth in clay.

here shall you see how fellowship and jollity,

both strength, pleasure, and beauty,

will fade from thee as flower in may.

for ye shall hear, how our heavenly king

calleth everyman to a (general reckoning):

give audience, and hear what he doth say.

god: i perceive here in my majesty,

how that all the creatures be to me unkind,

living without dread in worldly prosperity:

of (ghostly sight) the people be so blind,

drowned in sin, they know me not for their god;

in worldly riches is all their mind,

they fear not( my righteousness), the sharp rod;

(my law that i shewed), when i for them die

hopefully this !

they are both made up so they are fake.
