Q.18 Answer the following questions in 30-40 words:
(a) Who was Sam Weiner? What had happened to him? What was the narrator?s suspicion about Sam?

(b) Why does the author call her two-week stay in Antarctica a chilling experience?

(c) How does Mr. Lamb try to remove the baseless fears of Derry?

(d) What evidence do you get from the text to show that Mr. Jackson and Evans ?had already become warm enemies?
( 8 Marks )

(Ans) (a) Sam Weiner was a psychiatrist and a friend of the narrator. He had disappeared. Nobody knew where he was. The narrator suspected he was at Galesburg. The narrator used to tell him about Galesburg where he had gone to school. Sam said that he liked the sound of the place. Charley thought that Sam was in Galesburg in 1894.
(b) It was a frightening possibility owing to the stark contrast in physical parameters. The author, a south-Indian, had lived under the hot sun. Antarctica has 90% of the earth?s total ice. Not only circulatory and metabolic functions but even imagination is strained.
(c) Derry has developed withdrawal symptoms. He doesn?t like being near people. Mr. Lamb tells him the story of a person who was afraid of everything in the world. So he went into his room and locked the door. He got into his bed and stayed there for a while. Then a picture fell off the wall on to his head and killed him.

(d) Jackson addressed Evans as ?little Einstein? and mockingly enquired about him. He felt annoyed as Evans pointed out his ignorance about Einstein. Jackson genuinely loathed the long, wavy hair of Evans. He had taken away the nail scissor and nail file of Evans. He used the word ?bloody? too often while addressing Evans.

nice one.......

bad luck there was no 10 mark Q on evans...i like it a lot......

@adi.

lamp tells him things that matter and things no one has told him before. he tells derry not to be afraid of the world and withdraw inside his shell.
.most importantly lamp was a role model to derry as lamp too had lost his leg during the war but did not leave that to ruin his life.

@gurucharan. WArm enemies rite so must say inspite of all these he had compassion for james and even wishes him all the best
