        \nThe white boy, while playing the role of the master, walked majestically up and down and shouted at the big boy in a commanding tone.

                  Jamaican Fragment Additional Questions and Answers<\/h3>\n

                  Question 1.
                  \nWhy did the game in the morning amaze the narrator?
                  \nOR
                  \n\u2018I puzzled within myself says the narrator. What conclusion did he come to after this puzzling thought?
                  \nOR
                  \nWhat conclusions did the narrator reach, looking at the two boys playing the game?
                  \nAnswer:
                  \nThe game in the morning both amazed and upset the narrator. Although it seemed to be a simple game of master and servant, the narrator was surprised that the dark boy, in spite of being older and stronger, was playing the servant. This was in spite of their evidently equal social status. This makes the narrator wonder whether the Jamaicans considered themselves inferior and accepted the superiority of the whites even as children.<\/p>\n

                  Question 2.
                  \nWhat, according to the author A.L. Hendricks, did the little boy sense in the game?
                  \nAnswer:
                  \nThe author A.L. Hendricks watches the game of a black boy and a white boy and notices that the black boy is taking orders from the white boy. The author then wonders whether the black boy, even before growing up, has accepted the superiority of the whites and is prepared to follow their orders even when he is in his own country.<\/p>\n

                  Question 3.
                  \nwill save him this puzzle\u2019. What did the narrator think the man would puzzle all day? Was the narrator right?
                  \nAnswer:
                  \nThe narrator thinks that the white man watching the two boys play would make the same mistake that he himself had made the previous day. On the second day, since the white boy was playing the role of a servant, the author thinks that the white man would puzzle over the possible superiority of the blacks over the whites. He is wrong in his assumption because the white man is the father of the two boys and knows fully well that the boys are only playing a game.<\/p>\n

                  Question 4.
                  \nWith what thoughts did the author go to the white man?
                  \nAnswer:
                  \nThe author went to the white man with the thought of setting his wrong ideas right. He knows that he was wrong in jumping to conclusions about the game of the little children. He doesn’t want another adult to make the same mistake. If he was worried over the black boy’s acceptance of his inferiority so young in life, the previous day, the author thinks, the white man would be worried over the white boy’s inferior role the next day. The author wants to clear this misconception because by now he knows that only adults are guilty of such thoughts and not children.<\/p>\n

                  Jamaican Fragment Summary in English<\/h3>\n

                  In the prose \u2018Jamaican fragment\u2019 the author A L Hendricks says how prejudice misleads the person\u2019s opinion. This incident happened in the author’s life. He depicted it very nicely.<\/p>\n

                  Every day the narrator used to walk a half-mile from his home to the railway track in the morning and evening. The walk is pleasant to him because of the red and green-roofed bungalows, green lawns, and garden on either side and it gives good exercise.<\/p>\n

                  One morning the narrator noticed that two little boys were playing in the garden. One is black and another is white. The narrator observed the children. The black boy might be 5 years and the white boy is a little lesser maybe 4 years old. The white boy is shouting and commanding the black boy. Whatever the white boy orders, the black boy did the same. The narrator was also a Jamaican black man. He was puzzled within himself. Hundreds of questions came into his. mind.<\/p>\n

                  The children were very small, really they were infants. At a very small age how could they discriminate? Who were they? Was the black boy a servant\u2019s son? Who was he? They wore the same type of dress. Were they neighbors or playmates. Whoever might be? Were we, as a race really inferior that even in our infancy we realized our deficiencies and accepted a position as the white man\u2019s servant?<\/p>\n

                  The author went on asking these questions to himself for a whole day. His faith in his people was shaken. He didn\u2019t find the boys in the afternoon. Again he thought deeply.<\/p>\n

                  The next morning he found the boys and observed them. To his surprise, the dark boy was commanding and white boy did everything.<\/p>\n

                  Then the narrator understood that was a game and he remembered what he played in his childhood. He smiled within himself. A white man was standing by the gate. The narrator recalled what he thought the previous day and night. The thought came to his mind that the black race is superior to white. How silly the grown-ups are to misinterpret a child\u2019s action. Then he would try to clarify and drive away all the doubts from his mind. The narrator said these to these white men. He was surprised to hear the outburst of the narrator and said that the two boys were brothers and his children and introduced a brown woman as his wife.<\/p>\n

                  The narrator smiled and his soul laughed within him. He said to his heart about his country and his people\u2019s greatness and he was left proud of both. The white man smiled at the narrator and went away to catch the train.<\/p>\n
