Answer:
Explanation:
Each one of us has some or the other qualities in ourselves which differentiates us from other people. The vital need is to search it out of our soul and when we have sought it, excel in it, and the need of the hour then is to be humble and not be overconfident. When we excel in a particular field, all have high expectations from us to perform well. There the humbleness and sincerity of our mind comes into play. I too possess a talent and this is how I became aware of it. One day, I went to play Badminton and I was astonished to find that the traditional and basic shots came naturally to me. I thought that this was the extra-ordinary trait gifted to me. I started to pursue my career as a badmintion player. I worked hard for two years until I became the champion at the district level. I had stepped into the professional panel of this game. I thought that I was the best in the district and this thought convinced me to decrease the length of my practise sessions and my mind was on the seventh heaven. I stopped paying attention to senior players or the coach’s advice. Days passed, it was time now for the state level tournament. After winning districts, I had lost my humble attitude and was full of over-confidence. I thought that I would conquer the state level forgetting that there were many other district level players like me. To my utter surprise, I was knocked out of the first round by a player whom I had defeated at the district level. It was an extremely shocking and traumatic moment for me. I had let down my parents and my coach and I felt ashamed to show my face to them. My coach came searching for me & I feared that he would lash out at me for losing such an important match but rather he was calm and affectionate. In a matter of five minutes, he taught me the greatest lesson of my life—hardwork and humbleness. He explained he had been noticing my change of attitude which was the cause of my downfall. He also pointed to my over confident behaviour and advised that one should always be rooted to the earth, on matter whatever height of success one reaches. Moreover one should always be humble and respectful at all times even to our opponents. Then on I vowed to ever follow my guide’s advice all my life. My coach wanted to teach this lesson in a practical way, therefore didn’t point my shortcomings earlier. Though I suffered a big defeat but it is never too late to pick up the shreds and weave a bed of roses for yourself.

Sylvia is a child who is different than other children. She tries to find solace in the Maine wilderness. She is walking along in the woods when she hears the whistle for the first time. She does not see where the whistle is coming from, and does not see the hunter, himself. She knows animal and bird sounds and, when she hears his whistle, she is immediately scared or alarmed. She is a child who has been terrorized by other children and who avoids people because she doesn't interact with them well, and has a hard time making friends. When she hears the whistle she knows that it is NOT a bird's whistle she is hearing and therefore it is coming from a person. This is something that is terrifying to her because a person could be an "enemy" or someone who could harm her, which is a great source of anxiety and fear. Sylvia is a person who is afraid of people. Her friends are the animals and creatures in the woods. They are where she finds comfort and security.
According to the book, when she hears the whistle she is "horror-stricken". She is afraid of people, especially boys after she has been tormented by a boy at school. It is natural, then, that a young girl who is afraid of people and afraid of young boys in general, would be scared when she heard the whistle of a boy she doesn't know in a place where she generally feels safe and secure. It would be natural for her to see whoever the boy was as an enemy.
