SECTION B very short answer question (2x 2= 4)
11.State the central issue in the poem Telephone Conversation'
Ans.
The poem is a scathing comment on the prevailing issues of racism and racist
prejudices. Soyinka, through his poem, depicts a conversation between a white
land-lady and a prospective black tenant and sheds a light on the prevailing
racial discrimination and hatred in the society at large.
12. Which tribes are specifically mentioned in the Essay write
about it.
Ans.
Some of the
common characteristics shared by tribal communities all over the world are
identified by the essayist. They live in organically unified and cohesive
groups. They show less interest in gathering wealth or using labour to
accumulate capital and interest. They accept a view where human beings, God and
nature are linked and trust in the ability of humans to interpret and spell
truth. Tribals live by intuition rather than reason, the space around them is
considered sacred rather than secular, and their time sense is considered as
personal rather than objective.
SECTION C- short answer question (2 x 3 =6)
13.What according to the poet are human beings out of tune means
in the poem 'The world is too much with us.
Ans.
This relatively simple poem angrily states that human beings are too preoccupied
with the material ("The world...getting and spending") and have lost
touch with the spiritual and with nature.
14. Why didn't John Garrideb like the idea of including Holmes
in the hunt for the third Garrideb?
Ans.
John Garrideb was afraid that Sherlock Holmes and his partner Watson will
suspect his motives and will jeopardise his plan. Involving a detective in a
plan that had a fake story, other that the fact that Garrideb, alias Killer
Evans, who had a criminal background was not safe.
SECTION D -long answer question (2 x 5 = 10)
15. Identify the common characteristics shared by the tribal
communities all over the world.
Ans.
The essayist identifies some common characteristics shared by tribal
communities all over the world. The tribals live in groups that are cohesive
and organically unified. They show very little interest in accumulating wealth
or in using labour as a device to gather interest and capital. The tribals
accept a world view in which nature, human beings and God are intimately linked
and they believe in the human ability to spell and interpret truth. They live
more by intuition than reason, they consider the space around them more sacred
than secular, and their sense of time is personal rather than objective.
16. Why do you think that poet has chosen the title Telephone
Conversation ? If you were to suggest another title for the poem. what would it
be?
Ans. However, the poet has chosen a very appropriate title for the poem - 'Telephonic Conversation'. It refers very aptly to the shallow racism being projected by the conversation between the landlady who is 'white' and the poet who is 'dark'.
