CLASS VII ENGLISH CHAPTER 7 CHANDNI

-

 1. Why did Abbu Khan’s goats want to run away? What happened to them in the hills? 

Ans. Abbu Khan’s goats wanted to run away because they wanted freedom to go to the beautiful hills and enjoy eating the fresh green grass. A wolf used to kill and eat them in the hills. 

2. Abbu Khan said, “No more goats in my house ever again.” Then he changed his mind. Why? 

Ans. Abbu Khan said, “No more goats in my house ever again.” Then he changed his mind because he felt very lonely. 

3. Why did he buy a young goat? 

Ans. He bought a young goat with a thought that the young goat will stay with him for a longer time and it will not leave him for freedom.

4. Why did Chandni hate the rope round her neck? 

Ans. Chandni hated the rope around her neck because it pulled her back from going to the beautiful hills. She wanted to be free of it knowing the possible consequences. 

5. “Now Abbu Khan understood Chandni’s problem...” What was Chandni’s problem? 

Ans. Chandni’s problem was that knowing the consequences, she wanted to go to the hills. She chose freedom over life. She thought that it was better to face the wolf while being free than staying chained forever.

6. Why did Chandni refuse to join the group of wild goats?

Ans. Chandni refused to join the group of wild goats because she wanted to enjoy her freedom entirely.

7. Why did the wise old bird say, “Chandni is the winner”? 

Ans. The wise old bird said, “Chandni is the winner” because she faced her fear like a warrior. She did not stay chained just to be alive. Instead, she fought for her freedom. She did not lose her freedom. 

8. “Death in an open field is better than life in a small hut,” Chandni said to herself. Was it the right decision? Give reasons for your answer.

Ans.“Death in an open field is better than life in a small hut,” Chandni said to herself. Although it was a tough and brave decision, I think that freedom is more important because that defines an individual, develops the personality and helps to decide what is right from wrong. If not given freedom then a person will never be able to make right decisions and live a complete life. One cannot live life on another person's terms. (You can write your own answers)

9. Freedom is life. Discuss this with reference to ‘Chandni’ and ‘I Want Something in a Cage’. 

Ans.Freedom is life. In the lesson “I Want Something in a Cage”, the strange man frees two doves from the cage. They were set free, they enjoyed freedom. The strange man, who had spent 10 years in jail, knew the value of freedom. In the chapter “Chandni” too, the struggle is for freedom but at the cost of her own life.

Class 9 THE SOLITARY REAPER

-
  “The Solitary Reaper” is a poem by the English poet William Wordsworth. The poem was inspired by the poet’s trip to Scotland in 1803 with his sister Dorothy Wordsworth. It was first published in 1807. In the poem, the speaker tries—and fails—to describe the song he heard a young woman singing as she cuts grain in a Scottish field. The speaker does not understand the song, and he cannot tell what it was about. Nor can he find the language to describe its beauty. "The Solitary Reaper" is a poem about music: the song a Scottish girl sings as she cuts hay with a sickle. Though the poem’s narrator cannot understand what the girl is actually singing about, the girl’s song sticks with him, its melancholy beauty echoing in his head “long after” its sound has faded. In this way, the poem suggests the ability of art to transcend cultural boundaries and even language itself. Art, in the poem, can communicate feeling or emotion even in the absence of concrete understanding. And yet, at
