Ans. Poetry can follow a strict structure, or none at all, but many different types of poems use poetic devices.

Poetic devices are tools that a poet can use to create rhythm, enhance a poem's meaning, or intensify a mood or feeling. These devices help piece the poem together,

Montmerency is not portrayed as a mere dog.In face, he is treated at par with the human members of the rowing party.He is a fox-terrier who are clever,adventurous and fighters

Montmerency does not like cats.Once he saw a big black cat.He began to run after the poor cat.The cat showed no hurry.It sat down in the middle of the road.The look of the cat was such that Montmorency had to stop and look back at the cat.After a while,the cat went away.montmorency came back,embarrased.If anybody now says "cats" to Monmorency,he shrinks and looks up piteously at him as if to say "please don 't".

Montmorencyis adventurous.He cannot let any challenge unresponded.Whenever he saw the boiling kettle,it seemed to challenge him.He got an opportunity once to seize it by the spout.With a loud yelp left the boat and took a round of the island,running and stopping every now and then to bury his nose in cool mud.From that day he began to dread the kettle.

Montmorency is a fighter by nature.At Oxford he had eleven fights on the first day and fourteen on the second.He was so happy that he thought he had gone to heaven..!!!!

His ambition in life is to be shouted at. He feels proud after achieving such ambitions. He spoils the task of packing as he creates mess by putting his leg into the jam, worrying teaspoons and playing with the lemons.

An amusing incident is related to the kettle about which has been curious throughout the trip. But on burning his nose, he regarded it with a mixture of awe, suspicion, and hate.

Conjunctions grammatically join two clauses (independent or dependent, depending on the conjunction) so that it reads as one sentence. Connectors are used between two separate sentences. 

Eg.  I was sick so I could not go to school. 

Here so is the conjunction. 

Eg. It might rain. In that case, school will be shut. 

Here, In that case is a connector.

An ideal priest , the bishop is concerned about the suffering,hunger and want prevailing all around . He is always at a service of people who need his help, caring little for his own pleasures and comforts.

He sold his estate , furniture and personak belongings to raise money for needy people. He is so lovingand embracing that he personally visits sick and suffering people to comfort them .

As you might expect, Lemuel Gulliver is the star and central character of Gulliver's Travels. In fact, he narrates the novel himself, and he is the only genuinely developed character in the whole book. Other figures in Gulliver's Travels absolutely fade into the background. For example, Gulliver only mentions his wife, Mary, in passing as he stays home just long enough to get her pregnant again before heading out to the high seas. Yes, Gulliver is pretty much it when it comes to rounded, individual characters in this novel.

Gulliver is the son of a middle-class family in Nottinghamshire, England. He has studied medicine both in England and at the University of Leiden in Holland. Gulliver has also served as an apprentice under a master surgeon, Mr. James Bates. Mainly, Gulliver has two great gifts. For one, though, he isn't a nobleman, he's a really smart guy. Also, he is interested in people-watching ("My hours of leisure I spent [...] in observing the manners and dispositions of the people" (1.1.3)).

Both of these traits come in handy. First, Gulliver's medium-class birth means that he is pretty flexible in terms of the social circles he moves in. While he always wants to associate himself with "people of quality," he also falls relatively easily into conversation with working-class people and servants. What's more, his pragmatism and practical nature save his life over and over again. He's not too proud to lick the floor in front of the Luggnaggian King or to suck up pretty outrageously to the Queen of Brobdingnag. Gulliver is the central character of Gulliver's Travels, but there's nothing outsized or heroic about him. He really does seem to be a kind of Everyman, maybe more resourceful than many, but not too brave or powerful.

Mired Childhood - Murky Future 

Childhood is a time of joy and pleasure. It is exclusive phase of human life where we don't have any responsibility and burden of the world. But the global extent of child labour paints a murky picture. 

Recent estimates by the International Labour Organization (ILO) state that about 215 million children worldwide are involved in child labour, with more than half this number involved in its worst forms. India has an estimated 17 million child workers – the highest incidence in the world. According to a report by UNICEF, about 12 per cent of children in India aged 5-14 are engaged in child labour activities, including Rag Picking.

 In spite of the enforcement of many anti-child labour laws, the problem still exists. The adverse effects of this problem affect the growth, development, and progress of our nation. Proper implementation of the the child laws will solve half the matter. Besides, there lies some responsibilities on us as individual citizen to take care of our children. To abstain them from getting embroiled in the vicious circle of poverty and child labour, and assist them in best possible ways. They need to be guided on health and hygiene and we as elders should take steps in spreading awareness.

Our country needs more and more skilled manpower to achieve the objectives of growth, development and advancement. Building human resource by investing in human capital in terms of health and education should be the prime focus of the government to fight this challenge. It  must work harder and involve the people and NGOs to eradicate the problem from the country.

His mother offered them some food and then they managed to sleep in very small bed.

Ans. The Bishop was in the habit of selling everything he could lay his hands on to help other people. He sold off his estate and spent his savings in bits and pieces to help the poor. Recently, he sold the silver salt-cellars too. Persome was, thus, fed up with her brother’s generosity and called him incorrigible.

Providing some points, Write them in your own words.

  • The narrator, a happy-go-lucky young man like his two friends
  • Fond of animals, as seen in his interactions with cats and his dog, Montmorency.
  • Hypochondriac, imagining that he had all the imaginable diseases of the world, just by reading about them.
  • More sensible and practical than the other two and shows a knowledge and appreciation for the historical aspect of the English countryside.
  • Like his friends, he too disliked hard work, and was convinced that he had been labouring the most while the other two lazed about.
  • More romantic and imaginative soul, with his head often in the clouds, as he lost sight of the fact that he was steering time and again, while admiring the scenery. He was the most affected by the beauties of nature. In fact, he had turned down the inn at Datchet initially because it did not have honeysuckle growing over it and hence was not picturesque enough.
  • Keenest sense of aesthetics as he constantly critiques his friends choices of clothing.
  • sense of humour and maintained a steady balance between the diverse personalities of George and Harris .
