Meghna Thapar 5 years, 3 months ago

Humans impact the physical environment in many ways: overpopulation, pollution, burning fossil fuels, and deforestation. Changes like these have triggered climate change, soil erosion, poor air quality, and undrinkable water. The list of issues surrounding our environment go on, but there are three major ones that affect the majority of them overall: global warming and climate change; water pollution and ocean acidification; and loss of biodiversity.

ANSWER

If you live in a rapidly urbanising India, especially in the North, and feel that things are getting from bad to worse as far as civility, sensitivity and respect for law is concerned, you are not alone. I go out cycling almost every morning, at the crack of dawn. The total lawlessness that has come to grip the society scares me. As early as 5 am, our cycling group notices people huddled around their cars, drinking outside eateries or liquor joints, fighting, arguing loudly, or simply passing lewd comments at the women riders in our group. The comments do not vary from a Mercedes or a Maruti Swift. They are uniformly distasteful. We often see police vehicles at these joints too, and they are certainly not there

Compare and contrast mrs dorling and mrs S

Posted by Anushree Menon 5 years, 3 months ago

CBSE > Class 11 > English Core

1 answers

Yogita Ingle 5 years, 3 months ago

Mrs Dorling was a greedy woman who did not return the belongings to the narrator. She herself had offered to take Mrs S's things to her home to take care of them as long as they would be away. Mrs S had entrusted the task of taking care of her things before leaving to save their life from Nazi soldiers. After the war when the narrator returned, and went to her house to take her mother's things back, she did not welcome her with a smile. She kept her standing at the door, and asked her to come some other day. Her selfish, inconsiderate and avaricious behavior hurt the already hurt narrator. Her intentions of misappropriating the author's mother's goods were quite clear.

Mrs S was a great Jew woman who became victim of war. She had been living peacefully in Holland with her daughter, the author when they had to leave in hurry to save their life. Mrs S was a perfect homemaker. She had an admirable collection of household things such as crockery, cutlery, and upholstery. She took meticulous care of them, and often cleaned them. Mrs S had given her precious and expensive household things to Mrs Dorling with the intention of taking them back after the war was over. The unfortunate Mrs S didn't live long enough to go back to Holland, and claim her things back from Mrs Dorling.

In the village they had a very intimate relationship. But a turning point came when they were sent for in the city. The narrator went up to University. Now he was given a room of his own. It made all the difference. The common link of their friendship was broken. They saw very less of each other now.

The narrator was losing hope of making it to the island for the safety of all those aboard the ship, especially his young children. He had checked and rechecked his calculations, they were lost on the main compass and he was using the spare one which had not been corrected for magnetic variation. He did not have any firm conviction when he told Larry that they could see the island at 5 pm if they were lucky. Hence, the narrator began to get demoralised and felt that he was not the best captain. However, his son managed to surprise him later by giving him a hug for being the best father in the world, apart from being the best captain as he had actually found the island.

The problems of village schools are different in different place... The methods of teaching vary at different schools ... In villages students are kept in very narrow scope of mind like the important areas are not given that much emphasis ... They are only taught the words of book teachers do not penetrate into the concepts, that effects the thinking of students and closes their intellect into a box...
