As the title of the play informs us, the glass menagerie, or collection of animals, is the play’s central symbol. Laura’s collection of glass animal figurines represents a number of facets of her personality. Like the figurines, Laura is delicate, fanciful, and somehow old-fashioned. Glass is transparent, but, when light is shined upon it correctly, it refracts an entire rainbow of colors. Similarly, Laura, though quiet and bland around strangers, is a source of strange, multifaceted delight to those who choose to look at her in the right light. The menagerie also represents the imaginative world to which Laura devotes herself—a world that is colorful and enticing but based on fragile illusions.

Sub: Disruption of Water Supply in Our Locality
Dear Sir:
I, a resident Green Avenue, on behalf of the residents of the area, write to your esteemed self to request you to look into the problem of irregular and disrupted water supply in our area due to breakage of water supply line.
As a result the residents of Green Avenue have been facing severe water shortage for many weeks. Housewives don't have enough water for washing, cooking, cleaning, etc. The residents are forced to make alternative arrangements for water supply by hiring water tankers. We have already written letters to Water Supply Department but to no avail. By the time the Water Supply Department is able to provide permanent water supply, potable water can be supplied to the colony through portable tankers. There is another solution. The colony’s water supply can be temporarily connected to the Sarabha Nagar water supply system.
I on behalf of all the residents appeal to you to look into the problem and relieve us of the inconvenience we have been facing. We shall be exceedingly thankful for the prompt solution to our distress.
Thanking you,
Yours truly,
Raghav Sharma
President Green Avenue Welfare Society

Answer:
“Eleven” by Sandra Cisneros, uses many literary devices to characterize a complex eleven-year-old. Rachel, the ingenuous 1st person narrator, relates the details of her humiliating eleventh birthday. Although her diction reflects her age, Rachel conveys the difficulty of growing up with adult precision. She is embarrassed and feels helpless, but knows she will soon be home with her parents, and her terrible day will drift away. Rachel’s age is given away not only by the title, but by her word choice. She employs numerous similes, describing crying like uncontrollable hiccups, drinking milk to fast, and little animal noises. Her confidence rattles like “pennies in a tin Band-Aid Box,” and she is always on the edge of lapsing into another session of tears. However, Rachel’s diction does not simple betray her.
