Read the passage carefully and answer the questions set on it. Passage<\/p>\n

A small crowd had gathered around the entrance to the park. His curiosity aroused, Robert crossed the road to see what was happening. He found that the centre of attraction was an old man with a performing monkey. The monkey\u2019s tricks, he soon discovered, were in no way remarkable. So, after throwing a few pennies in the dirty hat which the man had placed on the pavement, Robert movedoff along with other members of the crowd.<\/p>\n

At this point the man suddenly let out a loud cry. Everyone turned to see what had happened. The man was bending over his monkey, which now lay quite still on the pavement. He picked up the apparently lifeless body and holding it close to him, began to weep. Ayoung man stepped forward from the crowd and taking some money from his pocket, dropped it into the hat. Robert and several other people did likewise, until the pennies in the hat were covered with silver coins. Meanwhile the man continued to hold the dead monkey in his arms and seemed to take no notice of what was going on about him.<\/p>\n

A few months later, Robert came across the old man, again in another part of the city. The man had a monkey, bought no doubt, with the money the crowd had given him. It did not, however, seem any better at its tricks than the previous one. Robert was pleased to see that the old man was still able to earn a living, though on this occasion,having partly paid for the monkey out of his own pocket, he did not feel inclined to throw any money into the hat.<\/p>\n

But the performance was not yet over. Once again the old man let out a loud cry. Once again the monkey lay still on the pavement. The man picked up the \u201cdead\u201d monkey and clutching it in his arms began to weep. The same young man stepped forward and threw some money into the hat.

\nAnswer:
\ndescendants<\/p>\n

Answer the following questions in 2-3 sentences each:<\/p>\n

Question 1.
\nWhy does Don Anselmo refuse to accept more money for his property?
\nAnswer:
\nThe initial understanding was that Don Anselmo would sell his property for twelve hundred dollars in cash, to the Americans. So he refuses to accept more money.<\/p>\n

Question 2.
\nAre the descendants of Don Anselmo entitled to the money they receive for the trees? Give reasons for your answer.
\nAnswer:
\nDon Anselmo is the oldest man in the village and almost everyone in the village is his relative. Since Don Anselmo himself feels that not he, but his descendants, have right over the trees, it is all right for them to receive money for the trees. It is as if Anselmo has bequeathed trees unto them.<\/p>\n

Question 3.
\nDescribe the old man\u2019s property.
\nAnswer:
\nThe old man\u2019s house was small and wretched but quaint. His orchard was gnarled and beautiful. A little creek ran through his land. The property extended across the river and was almost twice more than the eight acres it was originally thought to be.<\/p>\n

Question 4.
\nWhat did the Americans speak about with Don Anselmo to break the ice?
\nAnswer:
\nThe Americans spoke about the weather and rain to break the ice. They also spoke about Don Anselmo\u2019s family.<\/p>\n

Question 5.
\nThe storyteller offered the old man almost the double of what he had quoted earlier. Why?
\nAnswer:
\nThe storyteller offered the old man almost double what he had quoted earlier because he discovered that Don Anselmo owned much more than eight acres of land and it was almost twice what he had thought.<\/p>\n

Question 6.
\nAfter the survey, why did the Americans offer double the quoted price for the old Titan\u2019s land?
\nAnswer:
\nThe Americans were good people. When they found out that Don Anselmo owned almost twice what he had thought, they offered to pay double of the price they had quoted earlier.<\/p>\n

Question 7.
\nWhat changes did the Americans make to Don Anselmo\u2019s property?
\nAnswer:
\nThe Americans replastered the old house. They pruned the trees and patched the fence.<\/p>\n

Answer the following questions in 5-6 sentences each:<\/p>\n

Question 1.
\nWhat details describe Don Anselmo’s appearance when he first comes to the office? What details describe his behaviour? How does his behaviour contrast with his appearance?
\nAnswer:
\nDon Anselmo’s appearance and manners can be termed unusual because he was shabbily dressed, but was majestic in his behaviour. His coat was old, green and faded; gloves were torn and the cane was the skeleton of an umbrella. Yet he bowed to all in a ceremonious manner and was followed by a boy ready to take his orders. When the storyteller saw Anselmo in his suit, he was reminded of Senator Catron who had been very influential with the people up in the mountain. The storyteller remarked that it perhaps was one of his old Prince Alberts. Again, when Anselmo bowed, and slowly and carefully removed his hat and gloves, the storyteller was reminded of Charlie Chaplin who had come up with similar actions while portraying the character of a Janitor. In other words, the storyteller made indirect references to Anselmo’s majestic manner though his clothing and other accessories did not match the grandeur.<\/p>\n

Question 2.
\nWhat is the external conflict in \u2018Gentleman of Rio en Medio\u2019?
\nAnswer:
\n\u2018Gentleman of Rio en Medio\u2019 makes subtle references to the question of external conflict. We see external factors impinging upon the internal happiness and tradition. The story makes it clear that even when no one is at fault, there might be conflict because of external factors. In the story we see that the Americans cannot understand the idea of the old man planting trees for all his descendants. They buy the trees from the descendants to avoid friction. Everything seems to have been amicably settled.<\/p>\n

However, one cannot completely overlook certain other possibilities. Although there are no more references to the descendants, one point becomes apparent. The descendants have been attracted by money, which is the first sign of commercialisation. This can be taken as an indication of traditional values giving way to commercial factors.<\/p>\n

Question 3.
\n\u201cI did not sell the trees because I could not, they are not mine\u201d. How did the old man support this statement?
\nAnswer:
\nThe lesson \u2018Gentleman of Rio en Medio\u2019 has a strange plot. Don Anselmo surprises the narrator, sellers and the readers with his refusal to take more money than what is mentioned in the contract for his property. Even when he is told that the surveyor had discovered that his property was almost double of what it was thought to be, he refuses to take more money.<\/p>\n

If this strangeness is surprising, his stand on the trees in the orchard is even stranger. After selling the orchard to the Americans, he states that he has sold only the orchard, and not the trees in the orchard. He adds that even if he wanted, he wouldn\u2019t be able to sell the trees as the trees didn\u2019t belong to him. He adds that he had planted a tree each for the children of the village as and when they were born and hence they were the rightful inheritors of the trees. Although his logic is strange, we cannot question his integrity because we should remember that he had refused money earlier with equally strange logic.<\/p>\n

Gentleman of Rio en Medio Summary in English<\/h3>\n

“Gentleman of Rio en Medio\u201d was written by Juan A.A. Sedillo. This prose is based on the story of Author s actual legal case. Rio en Medio is a place in Santa Fe county, New Mexico, United States. The storyteller (author) as a lawyer and held public office.
\nThe hero of the lesson was Don Anselmo. He was the most respectful old man of that village. He had a small house and orchard. r$F The storyteller was the mediator, between Don Anselmo and American people. The American people wanted to buy Don Anselmo\u2019s property. But Don Anselmo was not in a hurry to sell his property. He was an old man and plenty of time. He lived in his ancestral land. He tilled the same land they had tilled. He had a small, unpleasant house. It was built in an old fashion. A small narrow stream was flowing throughout his land. A lot of trees were grown in his orchard and it was beautiful.<\/p>\n

After much effort and negotiation of the storyteller, the Oldman agreed to sell his property. It took months of time. The oldman came to the office on the day of sale. He wore old, green faded coat. By looking the old man, author remembers the Senator Catron (Thomas Benton Catron, a senator from New Mexico, 1912-1917). had the great power to control the mountain people. The oldman\u2019s coat was similar to Prince Alberts, that means old man was wearing his old, long, double-breasted coat. He wore old and tom gloves and his fingertips can be seen through them. He carried a cane, it was only the skeleton of a worn-out umbrella. Behind him, one of his relative boy was followed. The boy (young man) was dark and his eyes are like a gazelle, (large beautiful eyes of small deer).<\/p>\n

The old man\u2019s behaviour was completely different from others. He bowed to all the persons in the room and removed his hat and gloves. This action is similar to that of Charlie Chaplin\u2019s action once he did it in a picture. Chaplin\u2019s role was the Janitor in a bank. The old man gave his things to the boy and sat on a chair. The conversation was started about the rain and his faniily. The old man was very proud of his large family. Finally, the mediator came to the topic. The old man was agreed to sell his property for twelve hundred dollars in cash. The buyer got survey of the land and came to know that the land extended and it almost doubles, what they want to purchase and agreed before. So they were very good people and ready to pay twice the amount. They kept the money ready in front of the old man.
\n\"KSEEB<\/p>\n

The old man thought for a moment and the story teller\u2019s proposal made him insult, because he was a man of principles. He didn\u2019t agree to take more money from them. Authoritatively he said that he is ready to sell his house aid land for twelve hundred dollars only. The storyteller argued but the old man was not ready to accept more money. Finally he signed the deed and took the money and went out as usual. A month later the buyers renovated the house and orchard, and they moved there to live, but the childen of the village were overrunning their property. They came everyday, played under the trees and built little fences and took flowers. Buyers warned them but they simply laughed and talked good naturedly in Spanish. This complaint came back to the office.<\/p>\n

To solve the problem the story-teller sent a messenger to call Don Anselmo. It took a week to arrange the meeting. When the old man came, the problem was discussed. The storyteller asked the old man being the most respected man of the village, why couldn’t he stop the children from doing so. The buyers might enjoy their new home in peace. After hearing, Don Anselmo replied that he sold his property to them because they were good people, but he didn\u2019t sell them the trees in the orchard. The story-teller tried to explain that generally if the land\/orchard is sold the possession of the trees in that place is also to buyers.<\/p>\n

The old man accepted the matter and continued that he is the oldest man in the village, everyone in the village were his relatives and all the children are nieces, nephews, and grandchildren. Every time a child has been bom in Rio en Medio, he had planted a tree for that child. The trees in that orchard are not his, that belong to the children of the village. So he had no right to sell and he didn\u2019t sell it. Legally the buyers owned the trees but the old man was so generous and he refused to accept the fortune form him. Afterwards, the buyers bought all the trees individually from the descendants of Don Anselmo. It took most of the following winter.<\/p>\n
