C. 1.
Questions 1. ‘The life of the Negro is still sadly crippled by the
manacles of segregation and the chains of discrimination’. Elaborate.
Answer:
It
has the clear meaning that the life of Negro is still like that of a disabled
person because it is captivated with the handcuffs of separation (on basis of
race) and the fetters of discrimination. The Negroes are thought to be inferior
to the whites and so are not given the proper rights of a citizen but are
tormented everywhere. In such circumstances, Negroes are like a disabled person
who cannot do anything on and for its own. They are racially discriminated
everywhere and are still fettered. They are tribulated, tortured, and
tormented. They are not given the right to vote, they are not allowed to go to
public places and are cut off from society as if they are not allowed to go to
public places and are cut off from society as if they are not humans. This
inhuman act done with them has crippled their life.
2. What would be fatal for the nation? Why? Explain.
Answer:
It
would be fatal for the nation to overlook the urgency of the moment and to
underestimate the determination of the Negro. It would be so because the
sweltering summer of the Negro’s legitimate discontent will not pass until
there is an invigorating autumn of freedom. Negro is granted his citizenship
rights and they will begin a revolt for their rights and justice. The
whirlwinds of this revolt will continue to shake the foundations of the nation
until the bright day of justice emerges and if the nation does not even
understand them and do something for Negroes, this revolt will take a furious
form and that could be seriously fatal and injurious for the nation.
3. What was the ‘dream’? How many times “I have a dream’ appears in
the lesson? Discuss the importance of this repetition?
Answer:
The
‘dream’ is that someday the racial discrimination would come to an end, the son
of slaves and owners will share the same table of fraternity, Mississippi state
will calm down with justice and freedom, his children will never have to suffer
racial discrimination, Albama has black and white children together hands in
hands. ‘I have a dream’ phrase is repeated Nine times in the chapter. The
importance of repetition is that the writer wants to draw the attention of
people towards the dream because it is the dream after which they have to start
the revolt and to see the dream come true, they have to fight against the
brutality of the government. This repetition is done to signify its meaning.
Questions 4. What is the pledge? When will it be fulfilled?
Answer: The
pledge is to always march ahead on the path of freedom and never to turn back
but to move ahead with chest puffed. It will be fulfilled when the Negroes get
their rights and freedom. They get justice and are not tortured, tormented,
segregated, discriminated, and separated from the rest of society. It will be
fulfilled when Negros are free from the clutches of slavery and are given
citizenship rights.
Questions 5. Do you have a dream for your state? Narrate your dream
in your own words.
Answer: I have a dream that my
state is a clean and tidy state where all the people are employed. All children
go to school. All the people are literate. The roads are plain without holes
and ditches in them. Stray animals do not roam here and there around the city.
The city is green and spotlessly clean.
Everybody follows the traffic rules. The government rules justly. There is no
discrimination on the basis of race, color, caste, creed, etc. None of the
officials are Corrupt. Everybody has the same rights to give a vote or to elect
their own representative. Everybody gets proper food, clothes, and shelter.
Justice, nonviolence, and truth prevail everywhere.
C. 3. Composition
Write a paragraph of about 100 words on each of the following
Questions 1. Human rights.
Answer: Right,
are the necessities of human life. They make our life meaningful. This removes
discrimination in society. This encourages peace and harmony. This makes
everybody’s life move smoothly. Today this has not importance everywhere and is
present in the constitution. There are courts to see if these are really
implemented well and everybody gets this. It seems that nobody should be
exploited. We should raise a voice against if anybody’s rights are violated.
Then only it can really be meaningful.
Questions 2. Secularism.
Answer: Secularism
means that no religion is the state religion. All religions have equal status.
In India, we follow secularism. It is in our ‘Constitution’. The government
does not discriminate among any religion. It wants all religions to remain and
prosper in the country. It does not support or favor any particular religion.
Holidays are given for festivals of all religions. It promotes peace and
harmony in society. It strengthens the unity of the country.
