III. Paragraph Writing:<\/p>\n

Discuss in pairs\/groups of four each the answers to the following questions. Individually, note down the important points for each question and then develop the points into one-paragraph answers.<\/p>\n

Question 1.
\nThe approach of the Sexton, the postman, the blacksmith and the baker to the game is typical of their profession. Elaborate.
\nAnswer:
\nA Sexton is an officer of a church, the Postman a governmental official, the Blacksmith a person makes and repairs things made out of iron by hand and the Baker is someone who makes food by using an oven or another concentrated heat source. These are local people, old and who are cautious and do not take risks.<\/p>\n

The writer even pinpoints to a government official who he says don\u2019t take risks. These men behave typical to their profession and do not take risky runs or bowl aggressively; they slowed the match with mis-hits and cautious runs. It was a period of a lull where very little action took place.<\/p>\n

Question 2.
\nHow does the \u2018uncertainty and disorganization among the ranks of the invaders\u2019 add to the humour?
\nAnswer:
\nThere was no understanding among the fielders. There was a lot of uncertainty and disorganization. When the ball hit by the blacksmith, which had soared high up in the air, began it\u2019s decent, all the fielders began running to get under it to catch it.<\/p>\n

They kept looking only at the ball and not at the other fielders running, not one of them appeared to be aware that anyone else existed. All ran together, crashed against each other and fell down.<\/p>\n

This confusion was compounded by the contradictory instructions given by Hodge. The fact that all of the players running from their positions to catch one ball add to the humour.<\/p>\n

Question 3.
\nWrite a short note on the status quo episode.
\nAnswer:
\nMr Hodge, the captain of the English team tried to manage the cricket team. He, on the whole, was unhappy with how the players were placed and how the game was being played with orders given by different people. There were uncertainty and disorganization amongst the fielders. There were too many men on the field and none of them was aware of what the other was doing. Even Captain Hodge nearly caused confusion, instead of telling Southcott to catch the ball he instructed Livingstone to do so. But in the last minute, he remembered Livingstone\u2019s earlier drops and hastily shouted at Southcott to catch the ball. This way Captain Hodge put right the state of affairs.<\/p>\n

Question 4.
\nThis extract contains many humorous situations.
\na. Pick out any three situations and write them down.
\nb. Narrate any one of them in detail to your partner.
\nc. Write it in a paragraph.
\nAnswer:
\n(a) Twelve members in a team was a riot on the ground. Almost all the players didn\u2019t know what the other was doing. They were either too cautious or were extremely confused as to what was going on in the field. They constantly bumped into each other and many players were hurt in the process.
\n(b) The umpire was tipsy and made calls that added to the confusion.
\n(c) The field was not flat, and the players were constantly surprised by the direction the ball took.
\n(d) Towards the end, all three batsmen ran towards the same wicket, the bowlers ran to catch the ball. All the players crashed into each other, a fitting end, to this hilarious cricket match.<\/p>\n

5. The characters are humorously pictured. What is humorous about the following characters in the extract? Discuss it in groups of 4 or 5 each and then write a paragraph on each of them.
\na. Boone
\nb. The Blacksmith.
\nc. Mr Harcourt
\nAnswer:
\n(a) Boone: Mighty Boone is standing right behind the youth in the jumper when the sexton hits the ‘ ball towards the youth. The youth springs out of the ball\u2019s way, and the ball strikes Boone in the midriff like a red-hot cannot-ball upon a Spanish galleon, and with the sound of a drumstick upon an insufficiently stretched drum. Boone clapped his hands to his outraged stomach and found that the ball was in the way. He looked at it for a moment in astonishment and then threw it down angrily and started to massage the injured spot while the field rang with applause at the brilliance of the catch.<\/p>\n

(b) The Blacksmith: The blacksmith came onto the ground leaning heavily upon the shoulder of the baker, who was going to fun for him, and limping as if in great pain. He took guard, and looked around, savagely. He was clearly still in a great rage. The first ball he received he lashed at wildly and hit straight up into the air to an enormous height. Looking at it, he forgot his sprained ankle and started running to the other end. The baker, who was to run on his behalf, also ran along with him, and both of them finally dashed against Joe coming from the other end.<\/p>\n

(c) Mr Harcourt: Mr Harcourt was the fielder from Mr Pollock s team. When the blacksmith hit the ball high, he tried to catch it. But he had obviously lost sight of the ball altoge her if indeed, he had ever seen it for he was running around and around Boone and giggling foolishly.<\/p>\n

                                                              This is a ball-by-ball account of a cricket match played in Fordenden, an English village, between English and Scottish players. None of the players is professionally trained. Many rules of the game are changed in order to accommodate the players.<\/p>\n

                                                              There is a lot of excitement on the ground, with fielders crowding around the batsman, and the batsman themselves very tense. The strong sexton hits a ball which is caught, unwittingly, by the mighty Mr Boone in the process of protecting his stomach.<\/p>\n

                                                              Then it is the turn of the lame blacksmith to hit the ball, and he hits it very high. Though he had a runner, the baker, appointed to run on his behalf, he forgets his limp and starts running, with the baker too beside him.<\/p>\n

                                                              The opposite batsman too starts running, and all the three, eyes fixed on the ball, collide and fall down. Two fielders, both of them commanded to catch the ball, run together, and collide with another fielder, and fall down.<\/p>\n

                                                              A fourth one picks up the ball.
