POEM-1
BEAUTIFUL INSIDE-PAULS HOLMES
What does the poet of beautiful inside say about INNER BEAUTY?
THEME : Appearance are deceptive
INTERODUCTION :
According to the poet Paul Holmes, the things which we see as unattractive
from outside need not be the same from inside. It can be beautiful from inside
INNER BEAUTY:
Beauty comes from inside. The inner beauty is more valuable than ones
outer appearance. A beautiful man may have a cruel heart. A man can smile
beautifully yet he can be a villain. He may be dishonest and with a cruel heart.
A GEODE:
A geode may look dull, grey and plain. But when water enters through a
crack it split. We can see beautiful purple crystals inside it. In same way a Person
may look plain, but may have a beautiful heart.
A BEAUTIFUL HEART:
A heart which is generous to needy, kind to sufferers and which weeps on
others pain is a beautiful heart. When we are close to person, we can see the beauty
of heart.
HUGHIES CASE:
In Hughies case, he mistook the baron for a beggar by his outer appearance.
The millionaire was just posing as a model for a beggar. His appearance was the
cause for the misunderstanding.
CONCLUSION:
Beauty fades with time but good qualities remain forever. We must find men
with such inner beauty and cherish them. We must prize them for their real value.

The Shilpi. poem-7
The physical Appearance of The Shilpi.
or
Shilpi's Changing A Rock Into A God's Statue
Shilpi means sculptor. The physical appearance of the Shilpi is portrayed quite beautifully in the poem
"Shilpi", At the beginning of making an idol, the Shilpi has a steady throb. The Shilpi has changing moods. So,
there is variation in the tempo. In his good mood, his hammer moves very quickly. In the mean time, it moves
slowly in his sad mood. The shilpi has, of course, bleary eyes. His muscles are not only tense, but also steady.
He has attained heirlooms of rich traditions through decades of constant practice. When the idol is shaped fully,
he steps back and surveys it with close scrutiny. Following that, he makes a sharp critical glare at it. He has
strived a lot for many days to create the idol. At present, the tools hammer and chisel are laid aside. Some
people look at him with pride first and with reverence later. The Shilpi has created an idol. Thus, he assumes
the role of the creator. The physical appearance of the Shilpi is portrayed in this manner. The Shilpi has a
steady throb at the beginning of making a gods statue. He has changing moods and so there is variation in the
tempo. In his good mood, his hammer moves very quickly. In the mean time, it moves slowly in his sad mood.
Later, the knocking softens and fades to a mild judicious tap. The virgin rock takes form when rough lines melt
and sharp edges change into smooth well-moulded curves. When god's statue is shaped fully, the Shilpi surveys
it with close scrutiny

If you can force your heart, and nerve and sinew

To serve your then long after they are gone;
And so hold on when there is nothing in you
Except the will which says to them, Hold on!
If you can fill the unforgiving minute

With sixty seconds worth of distance run,
Yours is the earth and everything thats in it,
And, what is more, youll be a man, my so.
2. Going for water (3rd, 4th & 5th stanzas)

- Robert Frost.
We ran as if to meet the moon
That slowly dawned behind the trees
.
The barren boughs without the leaves

without the birds, without the breeze.
But once within the wood, we paused

like gnomes that hid us from the moon,
ready to run to hiding new
with laughter when she found us soon.
Each laid on other a staying hand

to listen ere we dared to look,
and in the hush we joined to make
we heard, we knew we heard the brook
3. The cry of the Children
Elizabath Barrett Browing.
(The first nine lines of the poem)
For oh say the children, we are weary,
and we cannot run or leap
From your pleasures fair and fine!
If we cared for any meadows, it were merely
To drop down in them and sleep.
Our knees tremble surely in the stooping.
We fall upon our faces, trying to go;
and, underneath our heavy eyelids drooping,
the reddest flower would look as pale as snow.
4. MIGRANT BIRD
- Famida Y. Basheer
The globes my world. The clouds my kin
I care not where the skies begin;
I spread my wings through all the din;
Through fears and fright I fly my flight
No walls for me, no vigil gates,

No flags, no machine guns that blast
Citizens of those border states
Brothers of her brothers sons.
No maps, no boundaries to block

My sojourn into unknown lands.
I spawn and splash in distant spills,
I breed my brood wherer I will.
I wont look down. No I will not,

with speed of wings I hasten past
And close my eyes against the sun
.
To dream my dreams and make them last.

UNIT-5
A CLOSE ENCOUNTER
- Rex Coker
Synopsis
Introduction
The Wild Experiment
Initial Succes
Sibling Rivalry
Happy Reunion
Quality Time
Conclusion
Characters Involved
Rex Coker and his brother
Moral Value: Optimism
Introduction
.
In the story A Close Encounter the author Rex Coker narrates a playful incident which
might have actually killed his brother. Many unschooled experts, at a tender age, being good at
tinkering, out of their inquisitiveness come up with small inventions.
Rex Coker lets the story revolve around how his brother on blueprinting his ideas
overexerted himself during the summer months to come out with a gripping experiment
The Wild Experiment

There was a damaged Schwinn bike lying upside down in the authors backyard. The
authors brother, like a serious mechanic,
went on adding different things like DC battery, two cables to operate the motor and a
pulley of a Yazoo lawn mower with a belt to the gear system of the bike.
Initial Success
The inventor saddled up on his beast of an invention, put his bike helmet on along
with his leather gloves. He put his hand down and threw the switch. The beast came to life and
the bike hurried off into the distance, but disappeared around the corner.
Sibling Rivalry
The rider of the bike was caught under the clothes live and so was thrown off the bike. The
author ran to his brother thinking that he was dead.
The author turned him over and his brother began to fight for not helping
him to stop the bike.
Happy Reunion
The rider asked the author what made him feel that he was smarter than him. The author
said, Well if you were smarter than me you would have bailed off before the clothes line.
Hearing this both the brothers laughed and looked at the direction of the invention.
Quality Time
The tires were warped and the battery had come loose and flew into the neighbours
backyard. The inventor said, Well, look at it this way. At least we had some quality time,
together today.
Conclusion
Every child is inquisitive by nature. If this inquisitiveness is nurtured in a constructive
manner, the world is sure to become fertile with all natural resources nurtured by scientific thinking
entangled with a harmonious life between nature and humans.
Moral: A man with a positive attitude is like a fruit of all seasons.
He is always welcome.
