Answer:
Sue had bumped her head and there was a big bump above her eyes. She had two black eyes, and a deep cut on her arm. She showed remarkable maturity for a seven-year-old when she said that she didn’t want to worry them when her father was trying to save all of them.

This observation was made by farmer John Byro after looking into the mouth of the horse. It matched his horse tooth for tooth. He would have claimed it as his own horse if he had not known their parents or the fame of their family for honesty. The resemblance was so striking that he called it the twin of his horse.

The story describes the entire phase of the relationship shared by the author and his grandmother. In his early childhood, the author shared a strong bond with his grandmother. However, that tie of friendship loosened a little when they both shifted to his parents’ city house. She no longer accompanied him to the school and could not help him with his lessons. There was a further crack in the relationship when the author joined the university as he was given a private room and the common link between them was snapped. They were further distanced from each other when the author went abroad for five years.

In spite of changes in the course of the relationship (due to the demands of the situation), their feelings for each other remained unchanged. Though she did not display her emotions, when the author was leaving for abroad, she wholeheartedly celebrated his homecoming when he returned.

Tutankhamun, also known as Tut, was a teenager when he died. He was the last successor of his powerful Pharaoh Dynasty which ruled Egypt and its empire for centuries. He was laid on rest, heavily loaded with gold.

The author and his grandmother shared a relationship which was very strong.The author had a lot of respect and admiration for his grandmother and her love for the author was limitless.Earlier, they shared everything including the room.This closeness strengthened their bond. When the author was asked to shift to the city along with his grandmother to stay with his parents,their relationship underwent a change. Their interaction became less as the author grew older. He moved to a foreign university for five years. Even though now the physical proximity was less, conversation lesser,but the basic foundation of their relationship was extremely strong. The grandmother kept a tenacious hold on to her life till her grandson returned from abroad. Only after seeing him, she breathed her last. 

They hid the horse in old barn of a deserted vineyard, where they found some food for the horse like oats.

John Bryo was an Assryian farmer whose horse was stolen by Aram and Mourad. He was a good friend of their family and he made the children realise that the act of stealing was bad deed.

He came to the narrator's house to inform that he got the horse back and it had become more stronger and better to ride.

He arranged a meeting in which Ranga could meet Ratna and get impressed with her quality of singing. The narrator was a frequent visitor to Rama Rao’s place and Ratna was quite free with him. On a Friday, he called Ratna to his house to deliver the buttermilk made by Rama Rao’s wife. He asked Ratna to sing for him and sent for Ranga at the same time. Ranga arrived while Ratna was rendering the melodious song. In this way, Ranga was able to meet her there.

The narrator came back without her belonging because she believed that the memory objectives are linked with the items. So they immediately lost value once they are in a strange surrounding after some time. In the case old, the narrator, her belongings lost means when they have seen at Dorling’s house. She understood that taking them back they will be strange in her new home. And that is the reason why she did not come back to claim them.

The author's grandmother had many admirable qualities in her. She was strong, spiritual, kind, generous, and courageous. She was a very strong woman who could adapt herself to any new challenging situation. May be she derived that strength from her devotion to God. For example, at the village she single handedly looked after herself and the author. Her real strength came to light when she was called to the city. Her life underwent change; her relationship with the narrator was deeply affected. She became more lonely and forlorn. However, she accepted the changes stoically. When the narrator went abroad, she endured the five year long separation courageously. At the close of her life also, she took a very courageous decision of not talking to any of the family members. She felt she had omitted to pray to God; so she decided to give all her time to praying to God. All the above mentioned examples prove she was a strong lady.   

Ratna was Ram Rao’s niece. She was just eleven years old. She lived in a big town and had come to live at his uncle’s home in Hosahali after her parents’ death. She was quite pretty and had many qualities. She could play the Veena and harmonium. She could also sing melodiously. Masti Venkatesha Iyengar planned to get Ranga married to Ratna. At the end he succeeded in his plan and Ratna was happily married to Ranga.

THE PEACOCK 
by Sujata Bhatt. 
In this poem the poet appreciates the royal, fascinating, mind blowing, precious, magnificent , gorgeous things of a peacock. A peacock is referred as India's animal so all that she appreciates is of India. the word mentioned of "then, a flash of turquoise in the pi pal tree" it means of a color that is bluish- green, named after a precious stone. so the whole poem is talking about  INDIA. and she illustrates in her own words that if you are reading an interesting book and some thing just irritates like of a wind, a steady hum of bees, or the bushes near nearby, or the cat that stretches " will break free your attention on what you were reading is to take a view of the peacock. 

Yes, Dr. Sadao can be called a brave man because he risked his life and saved a prisoner of war who belonged to a rival country. He put his duty as a doctor and humanity above everything else.

In the poem, the water rises from the ‘land and the bottomless sea’ to reach the sky. There, it transforms itself into vague formation of clouds, different in their structure than the water from which they originate. After wandering, these clouds descend to the earth in the form of rain to provide relief to the drought-ridden areas and infuse life into the unborn and latent seeds. The rain renders the earth with beauty and purity.

In science, we learn the cyclical process of rain in terms like evaporation, condensation, precipitation, flowing rivers, ground water and ocean water etc, while in the poem the same process becomes interesting and unusual. The rain speaks itself to describe its course. The poem puts forward how rain never loses its core essence even after changing into various forms.

Residents of the Bhirung Raut Ki Gali, where Ustad Bishmillah Khan was bom on March 21,1916, were in a state of shock. His cousin, 94-year -old Mohd Idrish Khan had tears welled up in his eyes. Shubhan Khan, the caretaker of Bismillah’s land, recalled “Whenever in Dumaraon, he would give rupees two to the boys and rupees five to the girls of the locality”. He was very keen to play Shehnai again in the local Bihariji’s Temple where he had started playing Shehnai with his father, Bachai Khan, at the age of six.

His original name was Quamaruddin and became Bishmillah only after he became famous as a Shehnai player in Varanasi. His father Bachai Khan was the official Shehnai player of Keshav Prasad Singh, the Maharaja of the erstwhile Dumaraon estate, Bismillah used to accompany him. For Bismillah Khan, the connection to music began at a very early age. By his teens, he had already become a master of the Shehnai. On the day India got freedom, Bismillah Khan, then a sprightly young man of 31 years old, had the rare honour of playing from Red Fort.

But Bishmillah Khan won’t just be remembered for elevating the Shehnai from an installment heard only in weddings and Naubatkhanas to one that was appreciated in concert halls globally across the world. His life was a witness to the plurality that is India. A practicing Muslim,he would take a daily dip in River Ganges in his younger days after a bout of kusti in Benia Baga Akhada. Every morning, Bismillah Khan would do riyaaz at the Balaji temple on the banks of the river. Even during his final hours in a Varanasi hospital, music didn’t desert Bismillah Khan.

A few hours before he left this worldly home early on Monday, the Shehnai wizard hummed a thumri to show that he was feeling better. This was typical of a man for whom life revolved around music. Throughout his life, he abided by the principle that all religions are one and the same. What marked Bismillah Khan was his simplicity and disregard for the riches that come with musical fame. Till the very end, he used a cycle rickshaw to travel around Varanasi. But the pressure of providing for some 60 family members took its toll during his later years.

Pyotr Petrovich Milkin was portrayed as an irresponsible man and a coward. He visited Kondraski family frequently and had dinner with the family.

It was obvious that Pyotr was in love with Nastya, Kondraski’s daughter. However, in order to escape from marriage commitments, he lied to Kondraski saying he was a drunkard and was a mad person and always went to the extreme of getting a medical certificate from a doctor certifying he was mad but Kondraski did not believe him.

Yes , I think they spice our lives and make us feel joy but sometimes it can hurts someone feelings so we should do jokes but make sure that it don't hurt anyone feelings.

No, Albert was not impolite while answering questions of history teacher. He just kept his point of view in front of the teacher as he could see know reason why one should learn dates ; one could always look them up in book. It is a matter of personal choice and depends on which subject a person is interested in.
