    Question 4.
    \nThe author of the poem ‘Off to Outer Space Tomorrow Morning\u2019.
    \nAnswer:
    \nNorman Nicholson<\/p>\n

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

    Question 1.
    \nWhy does the poet say \u2018you can take a last look\u2019 and \u2018you can cross out my name in the telephone book\u2019?
    \nAnswer:
    \nThe poet might be saying these words both teasingly and seriously. In the first instance, going by the jovial tone throughout the poem, we can say that it is his way of saying goodbye and as it is the space voyage, he would be out of touch with his near and dear ones. So he says they can take a last look and cross out his name from the telephone book. However, we cannot rule out another more serious interpretation. Maybe deep down, the speaker has a doubt whether he will ever come back because anything can happen to him. So maybe he indirectly refers to this tragic possibility.<\/p>\n

    Question 2.
    \n\u2018Space\u2019 and \u2018confinement\u2019 signify concepts that are opposite. Why does the poet choose to talk about \u2018solitary confinement\u2019 in \u2018outer space\u2019?
    \nAnswer:
    \nSpace is boundless, vast and open. Yet, unlike on the earth, none can freely move around in space. One has to remain in the spaceship. That is why the poet refers to his existence in the spaceship as solitary confinement.<\/p>\n

    Question 3.
    \nWhy does Norman Nicholson feel that he is imprisoned in space?
    \nAnswer:
    \nThe speaker would be totally cut off from the world. Nobody would visit him nor would he have a friend near him. He would not write any letters nor would he receive any. He would be like a prisoner.<\/p>\n

    Question 4.
    \nThe speaker in \u2018Off to Outer Space Tomorrow Morning\u2019 is uncertain of his return. How does he express this?
    \nAnswer:
    \nThe speaker says that people can take a last\u2019 look at him as he is all set to go to outer space. The word \u2018last\u2019 is indicative of the fact that the speaker is uncertain of his return. Further, the speaker says that his name could be crossed out from the telephone book. It is as if he has the feeling that his existence on the earth needn\u2019t be recorded.<\/p>\n

    Answer the following questions in 6-8 sentences each:<\/p>\n

    Question 1.
    \nWhat indirect references does the poet make to the interferences that people suffer from in life?
    \nAnswer:
    \nWhen he says that he won’t give a damn for the person he addresses, there is the suggestion that in our day-to-day existence, we cannot live our lives without bothering about what other people say or what other people think of us. Again, his statement that when he reaches space after having travelled twenty-hundred light-years, he would no longer care for others who explode and show their anger, shows his disdain for interferences by others in our lives. Thus the poem, though in a light vein, makes indirect references to some of the unhealthy aspects of life on the earth.<\/p>\n

    Question 2.
    \nHow does the poet describe life in space?
    \nOR
    \nWhat are the feelings of the poet in the poem \u2018Off to Outer Space Tomorrow Morning\u2019?
    \nAnswer:
    \nThe poet uses a unique technique. Through negative references he conveys positive feelings. When he compares the life in outer space to solitary confinement in a jail and when he says there would be no friend who would enquire after his well-being, it is as though he laments about his loneliness. But then, the tone, that is light and jovial, persists throughout the poem and we can make out that he is looking forward to the experience of being alone amidst the vastness of the outer space with no one to disturb him. The poet has no sense of regret as such an existence offers him the splendour of being the centre of his own gravity, a universe by himself, with tea cups circling around him like the planets in orbit.<\/p>\n

    Read the following extracts and answer the questions given below them:<\/p>\n

    Question 1.
    \n\u201cThere won\u2019t be any calendar Daylight will he on the switch and winter under lock.\u201d
    \na) Why are calendars useless in outer space?
    \nb) Winter under lock\u201d – what does this mean?
    \nAnswer:
    \na) There is no concept of day and night in space, hence no concept of time. Therefore, calendars are useless in outer space.
    \nb) \u2018Winter under lock\u2019 means that there is no change of seasons.<\/p>\n

    Question 2.
    \n\u201cThere won\u2019t be any calendar, there won\u2019t be any clock\u201d.
    \na) Who has made this statement?
    \nb) Where is the speaker experiencing this?
    \nc) Why will there be no calendars or clocks?
    \nAnswer:
    \na) The poet Norman Nicholson.
    \nb) In space.
    \nc) There is no concept of time or day and night in space. So there is no need for calendars or clocks.<\/p>\n

    Question 3.
    \n\u2018With the teacups circling round me like the planets round the Sun\u2019.
    \na) Where does the speaker experience this?
    \nOR
    \nWhere does this happen?
    \nb) Why does the speaker have the above feeling?
    \nOR
    \nWhy would the poet feel so?
    \nAnswer:
    \na) In outer space.
    \nb) The earth has the force of gravity, but in space, there is no gravitational force. Hence the poet says that when the capsule doors are shut and when he is on the space flight beyond the earth\u2019s gravitational force, the teacups would fly around him like the planets in an orbit around the sun.<\/p>\n

    Question 4.
    \n\u201cIn solitary confinement as complete as any gaol.\u201d
    \na) What is referred to as \u2018solitary confinement\u2019?
    \nOR
    \nWhat two aspects are compared in the line?
    \nb) Why does the speaker say so?
    \nAnswer:
    \na) Life in the spaceship is referred to as solitary confinement.<\/p>\n

    b) The speaker uses this comparison to highlight the fact that he is going to be totally cut off from the world. Though space is vast and open, one cannot move about freely like on the earth. One has to remain in the spaceship. That is why the poet refers to his existence in the spaceship as solitary confinement.<\/p>\n
