Q.1) Read the following extract and complete the activities given below.                  12 M

                At  a  corner  of  Sixth  Avenue  electric  lights  and cunningly  displayed  wares  behind  plateglass  made  a shop window attractive. Soapy took a stone and dashed it  through  the  glass.  People  came  running  round  the coner,  a  policeman  in  the  lead.  Soapy  stood  still  with his hands in his pockets, and smiled at the sight of brass buttons.

“Where’s  the  man  that  done  that?”  inquired  the officer agitatedly.

        “Don’t  you  think  that  I  might  have  had  something to do with it?” said Soapy, with a friendly voice, as one greets good fortune.

The  policeman  refused  to  accept  Soapy  even  as a  clue.  Men  who  smash  windows  do  not  remain  to chat  with  the  police.  They  take  to  their  heels.  The policeman saw a man half-way down the block running to catch a car. With drawn club he joined in the pursuit. Soapy,  with  disgust  in  his  heart,  drifted  along,  twice unsuccessful.

On  the  opposite  side  of  the  street  was  a  restaurant of  no  great  pretensions.  It  catered  to  large  appetites and  modest  purses.  Its  crockery  and  atmosphere  were thick;  its  soup  and  napery  thin.  Into  this  place  Soapy betook himself without challenge. At a table he sat and consumed beefsteak, flapjacks, doughnuts and pie. And then he told the waiter the fact that the minutest coin and himself were total strangers.

“Now, get busy and call a cop”, said Soapy. “And don’t keep a gentleman waiting.”

“No cop for you,” said the waiter, with a voice like butter cakes and an eye like the cherry in the Manhattan cocktail. “Hey, Con!”

Neatly  upon  his  left  ear  on  the  callous  pavement two  waiters  pitched  Soapy. He arose,  joint by joint, as a acarpenter’s rule opens, and dusted his clothes. Arrest seemed  now  but  an  elusive  dream.  The  island  seemed very far away. A policeman who stood before a drugstore two doors away laughed and walked down the street.

Standing among silent commuters in the yellow light Suburbs slide past his unseeing eyes

His shirt and pants are soggy and his black raincoat Stained with mud and his bag stuffed with books

Is falling apart. His eyes dimmed by age

Fade homeward through the humid monsoon night. Now I can see him getting off the train

His chappals are sticky with mud, but he hurries onward.

                                            Weavers, weaving at break of day,

Why do you weave a garment so gay?......

Blue as the wing of a halcyon wild,

 We weave the robes of a new-born child.

 

Weavers, weaving at fall of night,

Why do you weave a garment so bright?........

Like the plumes of a peacock, purple and green,

We weave the marriage-veils of a queen.

 

Weavers, weaving solemn and still,

What do you weave in the moonlight chill……

White as a feather and white as a cloud,

We weave a dead man’s funeral shroud.
