Answer and Explanation:

How do the dog's instinctive actions compare to the man's rational ones?

Just by relying on his instincts, the dog is able to survive. He may not know how things work or why they are the way they are, but he knows what to do and when to do it. For instance, he knows that, if the man fails to build a fire, he (the dog) can dig himself a hole in the snow to keep himself warm until the next morning.

The man, on the other hand, makes blunder after blunder by relying on his judgment. To be fair, it is his arrogance that gets in the way. He seems to have lost respect for nature, trusting his own skills and knowledge too much. Unfortunately, that is what leads him to his death. Had he been humbler, had he been respectful and acknowledged the power of nature, his fate could have been different.

What do you  think London is trying to tell us about the difference between human and animal abilities to  survive?

In a sense, animals seem to be more intelligent than humans. Our intellect is somehow keeping us further and further apart from our instincts. We are becoming less effective in surviving because we are becoming less respectful toward nature. Animals, on the other hand, know their own limitations. They know when to walk, when to stop, when to rest, when to look for food. They have not lost contact with what they ancestors, so to speak, learned. They have it in them, naturally, effortlessly. That seems to be one of the themes London explores in this story.

At the end of chapter 10 how does Huck decide he will get information from town
inn [45]

Answer: Huck wonders about the dead man, but Jim warns that it’s bad luck to think about such things. Huck has already incurred bad luck, according to Jim, by finding and handling a snake’s shed skin. Sure enough, bad luck comes: as a joke, Huck puts a dead rattlesnake near Jim’s sleeping place, and its mate comes and bites Jim. Jim’s leg swells but gets better after several days. A while later, Huck decides to go ashore to get information. Jim agrees, but has Huck disguise himself as a girl, using one of the dresses they took from the houseboat. Huck practices his girl impersonation and then sets out for the Illinois shore. In a formerly abandoned shack, he finds a woman who looks about forty years old and appears to be a newcomer to the town. Huck is relieved because, as a newcomer, the woman will not be able to recognize him. Still, he resolves to remember that he is pretending to be a girl.

Critically analyse the poem Goodbye Party for Miss Pushpa TS by Nissim Ezekiel.
kaheart [24]

A brief analysis of the poem "Goodbye Party for Miss Pushpa TS" by Nissim Ezekiel, taking into consideration the cultural aspects surrounding the poem, is the following:

  • The poem imitates the way an Indian man would talk in English as he makes a speech during a farewell party to Miss Pushpa. We can notice his excessive use of continuous tenses, even in places where the idea of an action in progress is not necessary.
  • We can also notice that the speaker loses his train of thought. That is an interesting way the author has found of mirroring a real-life, spontaneous speech. It is quite common for a person who is talking to get lost for a moment.
  • We can mention the exaggerated compliments about Miss Pushpa's sweet temper and helpfulness. This is most likely a cultural aspect, and these qualities must be relevant in Indian society.
  • The author is not concerned with meter or rhyme for this poem, since his purpose is to imitate a natural, spontaneous speech. Each of the 7 stanzas focuses on a different point in the speaker's train of thought.

<h3>Tips to write an analysis of a poem:</h3>
  • Read the whole poem more than once, paying attention to different aspects. First, try to understand what the poem is about, what its general message is.
  • Then, pay attention to the poem's structure - rhymes, meter, stanzas, rhythm. These elements can have an impact in the poem's message.
  • Notice the author's word choice as well, such as the presence of dialect, or the use of sensory language (words that appeal to the five senses). Figurative language, such as metaphor or personification, should also be commented on.
