CHAPTER - 8
IN A TUNNEL
1.Answer the following questions.
a)Why are the carriage windows pulled up when the train goes through a tunnel?
Ans - The carriage windows are pulled up when the train goes through a tunnel to prevent the smoke from the engine to come into the carriage.
b) What kinds of things do you see in a tunnel (when you are on foot) ?
Ans - When you are on foot in a tunnel, one can see slimy, oozy trickles of water dripping down the walls. The bricks are a dull, sticky, sickly green. The light from outside shines in for quite a long way before it becomes considerably dark.
c) How many children are there in the tunnel?
Ans - There are three children in the tunnel.
d) Which child is the most frightened?
Ans - Phyllis is the most frightened.
e) Peter asks the others : ' and what's that '? What is the 'that' he refers to ?
Ans - That was a low humming sound on the railway line, signifying that a train was approaching the tunnel.
f) What are the wires over which Phyllis stumbles?
Ans - The wires over which Phyllis stumbles on the way to the manhole are those which connect the points or signals to the control.
g) How does the author describe the train 'hurtling by' ?
Ans - According to the author, the train hurtled by, with a rush, a roar and a rattle, and a long dazzling flash of lighted carriage windows, a small of smoke and a blast of hot air. All the while, there was the constant clanging, jangling and echoing noise in the vaulted roof of the tunnel.
h) Why does Phyllis compare the train to a dragon? In what ways was it similar to a dragon? Do you think this is a good comparison?
Ans - Phyllis compares the train to a dragon because it roars and puffs out smoke and fire like a dragon does. Also, the approaching train's lights look like eyes glowing in the dark, belonging to a fearsome creature like the dragon. It is a good comparison.
i) The train described here is a steam train. These days it is more usual to find electric and diesel trains on railway lines. Are these better? How? Are these less romantic to travel on?
Ans - Electrical trains run faster and are cheaper to operate. They emit no sound, and are weatherproof, without the dirt and heat of steam engines. Stream engines require large quantities of coal and water. To a certain extent, the modern trains, with so many amenities, do seem less romantic to travel on, when compared to the old- world charm of the steam trains.

POEMS 7, "THE WAY THROUGH THE WOODS"
INTRODUCTION
Summary of the poem :-
The poet starts the poem by telling the reader that he is talking about a road. A road which was closed seventy years ago for some reason. The harshness of weather and heaviness of rains have so far vanished all the traces of the road. And on the spot, there is no sign that once a road was there. The re-growth of Nature has covered it with coppice, heath, and anemones. Only the keeper of the territory knows that there was a road that is no longer visible to most of the people. Moreover, he says that it is the place where otter (a mammal) is not afraid of humans because it has seen only a few of them. If anybody visits the woods in a summer evening, he will only hear silence. A silence that can only be replaced by the galloping of a horse that walks through the misty atmosphere of the place. Only that rider could identify the road as being covered by the greenery. In the last two verses, the poet says that it was the road that was lost in the woods. And the woods show no sign of its previous existence.

Summary of 'Trespass' by John Clare
The poet dreaded working on a place without any path. As he walked through a
meadow, the poet kept a watch to see if the owner was coming by. The meadow
was beautiful at every stretch. As he entered the road from the meadow, he felt that every stranger he saw frowned at him and said that he had trespassed while
he was on his walk. The poet also felt that he would have a fine day everyday if he
had such a beautiful place like the meadow. However, as the meadow was not his, he could not consider it as it his own.

CHAPTER 6 : THE WHITE MOUSE CIRCUS
Opening – Journey to Bournemouth
The narrator, a small boy, was planning go to Norway. As his grandmother fell ill, her doctor advised them to go to Bournemouth, a place visited by old people. It was believed that the bracing fresh air of Bournemouth kept old people
alive for some extra years. Although the grandmother didn’t believe such things, she agreed to visit Bournemouth. She thought of obeying the doctor.
Next – William and Mary
Both, grandmother and the narrator reached Bournemouth and stayed at
Hotel Magnificent, an enormous building.
For the narrator, the hotel turned out to be a boring place because of the old people around. The only thing that the narrator liked was his mice – two mice which his
grandmother had gifted him as a consolation.
Next – No Mouse, Please!
But soon the hotel manager, Mr. Stringer, got to know that his mice were troubling the other people staying in the hotel.
Although the grandmother tried to help the boy (the narrator) by blaming the hotel for its rats running everywhere, Mr. Stringer, as a compromise, warned the narrator and his grandmother to keep the mice in the cage. When the boy reached his room, the chambermaid also gave him the same
warning – she said that would drown the mice if she found them roaming out of their cage. The narrator went in search of a safe place for the mice-training. He
wanted to train the mice. He had named them William and Mary. Finally, he found the ball-room of the hotel vacant. There was no one inside. It was huge room.
At the gate of the room, there stood a notice board which said that the room was reserved for the Annual Meeting of the Royal Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Children. The narrator liked this. He thought of the manager who was so cruel with him and these people who were meeting to discuss cruelty to children. He
liked these people. He went inside to be on the safe side. There was a large screen painted with Chinese dragons. He went behind the screen and started training his mice. First he trained William by making it walk across a tightly held string to make it eat a piece of cake kept on the other end of the string. He trained Mary almost the same way. Once he trained both the mice to walk on the string, he became very happy and dreamed of becoming the owner of a great White Mice Circus.

Poem 4. THE ECHOING GREEN
Summary of 'The Echoing Green' by William Blake
The poem The Echoing Green by William Blake is written in the appreciation of
nature in simple terms. However, if we go deep into it, we will find the theme of
life and death in the world. The poem is told by a young child who is playing in the
“Echoing Green” park. The poem has been divided into three stanzas which if we
go deep, depict the three stages of life. Each stanza is divided into 10 lines and
the rhyme scheme is AABB. Another interesting thing worth noticing is that the
first two stanzas end in “On the Echoing Green” while the final stanza ends in “On
the darkening Green”.
The sun rises on a green field where birds sing and children play. As they play,
“Old John with white hair” and other elderly observers laugh at their antics and
remember a time when they were young, energetic, and playful. Eventually the
little ones grow tired and the sun begins to set. The children gather back to their
mothers and prepare for a night’s rest.

Poem 3. THE POEM
Summary of 'The Poem' by Amy Lowell
This simple poem by Amy Lowell is full of wisdom. The poetess talks about the abundance that is hidden in each and everything of nature. This abundance can only be maintained if we follow the laws of nature.
The poetess says if we plant a simple looking twig at the right place where there is enough sunlight, and water it regularly; this twig will grow into a tall bush from whose boughs will hang beautiful flowers in bunches. Its leaves will sparkle in the bright sunlight; from its root emerge
freshness and abundant grass will grow beneath it.
However, if you keep the same twig and throw it in a closet, with other metal tools, it will wither and become useless dried up piece of wood that you would like throw into a bin.
The wisdom hidden in the poem is our life is like a twig; it will bear flowers only if we plant it in the soil of goodness and water it regularly with our hard work and perseverance. In the sunlight
of God’s love for us we will blossom into a fully grown bush.
However, if we throw ourselves into the closet of evil deeds, we will wither up and be discarded as a useless thing.
First let us watch and listen attentively to this video to help us understand the poet and poem better.
