(Think of the bedtime stories in Kalam\u2019s house; of who his friends were; and of what used to take place in the pond near his house.)<br \/>\n(iii) The author speaks both of people who were very aware of the differences among them and those who tried to bridge these differences. Can you identify such people in the text?<br \/>\n(iv) Narrate two incidents that show how differences can be created, and also how they can be resolved. How can people change their attitudes?<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h6>\n<p><strong>Ans: (i)<\/strong> He mentions two social groups of Rameshwaram \u2013 orthodox Brahmins and Muslims. Yes, these groups were easily identifiable. For example, by the way they dressed; Kalam wore a cap which marked him as a Muslim. Ramanadha Sastry wore a seared thread which marked him a Hindu.<\/p>\n<p><strong>(ii)<\/strong> No, they were not only aware of their differences but also they naturally shared friendships and experiences.<br \/>\nKalam\u2019s mother and grandmother would tell the children of his family bedtime stories about the events from the Ramayana and from the life of the prophet. During the Shri Sita Rama Kalyanam ceremony, his family used to arrange boats with a special platform for carrying idols of the Lord from the temple to the marriage site, situated in the middle of the pond called Rama Tirtha which was near his house.<\/p>\n<p><strong>(iii)<\/strong> The people who were very aware of the differences among them, were the young teacher who joined the Rameshwaram elementary school and came to teach Kalam\u2019s class, the fifth standard; and his science teacher\u2019s conservative wife who refused to serve Kalam in her ritually pull kitchen. Those who tried to bridge these differences were Kalam\u2019s science teacher Sivasubramania Iyer who invited, served and dined with him to break social barriers so that people could mingle easily; and Lakshmana Sastry who conveyed the strong sense of conviction to the new young teacher to reform him.<\/p>\n<p><strong>(iv)<\/strong> The first incident to show that how differences can be created is that when the new young teacher found a Muslim student sitting beside a Hindu student, he asked Kalam to sit in the last raw. His friend Ramanadha Sastry was heartbreaken. They informed their respective parents Lakshmana Sastry summoned the teacher and conveyed the strong sense of conviction which ultimately reformed him.<\/p>\n<p>The other incident shows that how differences can be resolved. The author\u2019s science teacher, Sivasubramania Iyer, though an orthodox Brahmin with a very conservative tried to bridge these differences.<br \/>\nPeople can change their attitudes by observing no difference in the way of Hindu\u2019s and a Muslim\u2019s eating of meals, drinking of water and cleaning of the floor.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">NCERT Solutions for Class 9 English My Childhood<\/p>\n<h6><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"2_i_Why_did_Abdul_Kalam_want_to_leave_Rameswaram_ii_What_did_his_father_say_to_this_iii_What_do_you_think_his_words_mean_Why_do_you_think_he_spoke_those_words\"><\/span><strong>2.

Why do you think he spoke those words?<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h6>\n<p><strong>Ans: (i)<\/strong> Kalam wanted to leave Rameswaram for further studies. He wanted to study at the district headquarters in Ramanathapuram.<\/p>\n<p><strong>(ii)<\/strong> Kalam&#8217;s father said that he knew that one day Kalam had to go away to grow. He gave him the analogy of a seagull that flies across the sun alone and without a nest. He then quoted Khalil Gibran to Kalam&#8217;s mother saying that her children were not their own children. They were the sons and daughters of Life&#8217;s longing for itself. They come through their parents, but not from them. They may give them their love, but not their thoughts as the children have their own thoughts.<\/p>\n<p><strong>(iii)<\/strong> Abdul Kalam\u2019s father\u2019s words bear great meanings. First, he inspired his son to go ahead above giving the example of the seagull. Secondly, he explained Kalam\u2019s mother to give his son opportunities to get higher education and to make progress. I think he spoke those words to encourage Abdul Kalam and to control the emotional attachment of his wife for Kalam.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">NCERT Solutions for Class 9 English My Childhood<\/p>\n<h6><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Thinking_about_Language\"><\/span><strong>Thinking about Language<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h6>\n<p><strong>I.
