Section D (5x2=10)
Q.15 How has the author used the episode of the bank theft to
comment on satyajit's success in his career?
Ans-The
author has well knit the entire frame of the story. He wanted to explain a
common man's elevation from a client to the managing Director's post. He also
wanted to show how the success achieved through shortcut is short-lived. He
describes this event by considering it as the main episode and highlights how
Satyajit got promotion by the play of luck. The author describes how men reach
heights through such incidents on the basis of their luck. It was a matter of
luck that he got his post and hence didn't have any reasons for the same.
Without a solid foundation to attain what he did, his success ended in a short
time. The author wants to make it clear in his story that the tempo of failure
is faster than success.
Q.16 How does the author feel after hearing the news of her
mother's death?
Ans-When
the author heard the news of her mother's death, she was at a loss for words.
She was overcome with confusion when she returned from the principal's office.
She was in a state she would never be able to forget, even as an adult she
seems perplexed when working on a new piece.
When
the author was fourteen she had to travel for 36 hours in three train rides to
see her mother die. Her mother was lifeless and colorless and she suddenly
realized why she had been summoned home. She was stunned and lost control of
her body. Her chest felt heavy and her stomach ached from not eating for
several days.
