Answer the following question.
“There was a sudden and wonderful change in his soul”. What brought about the change in Soapy?
उत्तर
"There was a sudden and wonderful change in his soul". It was brought about when Soapy saw his old childhood home. Through the window he saw a light shining, and heard sweet music that sounded familiar to him. He had spent many happy peaceful moments there when his life contained such things as mothers, flowers, high hopes, friends, clean thoughts and clean clothes. He then saw with sick fear how he had fallen. He saw worthless days, his wrong desires, his dead hopes, and the lost power of his mind. He decided to fight to change his life. He would pull himself up, out of the mud. He would make a man of himself again.

The central idea of the poem 'The Solitary Reaper' is _____.
The village consisted of less than thirty houses, only one of them built with brick and cement. Painted a brilliant yellow and blue all over with gorgeous carvings of gods and gargoyles on its balustrade, it was known as the Big House. The other houses, distributed in four streets, were generally of bamboo thatch, straw, mud, and other unspecified material.

Margot stood apart from these children who could never remember a time when there wasn’t rain and rain and rain. They were all nine years old, and if there had been a day, seven years ago, when the sun came out for an hour and showed its face to the stunned world, they could not recall. Sometimes, at night, she heard them stir, in remembrance, and she knew they were dreaming and remembering an old or a yellow crayon or a coin large enough to buy the world with. She knew they thought they remembered a warmness, like a blushing in the face, in the body, in the arms and legs and trembling hands. But then they always awoke to the tatting drum, the endless shaking down of clear bead necklaces upon the roof, the walk, the gardens, the forests, and their dreams were gone. All day yesterday they had read in class about the sun. About how like a lemon it was, and how hot. And they had written small stories or essays or poems about it:
I think the snn is a flower,
That blooms for just one hour.
