(മണ്ണും മനുഷ്യനും) സൂചനയും കഥയും വിശകലനം ചെയ്ത് ‘മണ്ണും മനുഷ്യനും’ എന്ന ശില്പത്തിന്റെ ആശയം വിശദീകരിച്ച് കുറിപ്പ് തയ്യാറാക്കുക.Complete the following web:
Robert: I told you to throw the girl out. You have fifty armed soldiers and dozens of strong servants to carry out my orders. Are they afraid of her? Steward: No sir, we are afraid of you, but she puts courage in us. She really doesn't seem to be afraid of anything. Perhaps you could frighten her, sir. Robert (grimly): Perhaps, where is she now? Steward: Down in the courtyard, sir. (Robert goes to the window and asks the soldiers to send the girl up.) (The girl enters. She is a well-built, strong country girl of 17 to 18 years. The squire's glare neither frightens her nor stops her. She speaks confidently.) Joan: Good morning, Captain Squire. You are to give me a horse and armour and some soldiers, and send me to the Dauphin. Robert: This girl is mad. Why didn't you tell me so, you blockhead? Steward: Sir, do not anger her. Give her what she wants. Robert: I shall send you back to your father with orders to put you under lock and key. Joan: You think you will, squire. But it won't happen that way. You said you would not see me. But here I am. Robert: So, you are assuming that I'll give you what you want. Joan: Yes, squire. (Continues busily) A horse will cost sixteen francs. It is a big amount of money. But I can save it on the armour. I don't need beautiful armour made to my measure. I can find a soldier's armour that will fit me well enough. I shall not want many soldiers. The Dauphin will give me all I need, to free Orleans.
(B) Read the following passage and do the given activities:
Who said to whom:
The asparagus appeared. I watched her thrust them down her throat in large mouthfuls. At last, she finished. “Coffee?” I said. “Yes, just an ice cream and coffee,” she answered. I was past caring now, so I ordered coffee for myself and an ice cream and coffee for her. “You know, there’s one thing I thoroughly believe in,” she said, as she ate the ice cream. “One should always get up from a meal feeling one could eat a little more.” “Are you still hungry?” I asked faintly. “Oh, no, I’m not hungry. You see, I don’t eat luncheon. I have a cup of coffee in the morning and then dinner, but I never eat more than one thing for luncheon. I was speaking for you.” “Oh, I see.” Then a terrible thing happened. While we were waiting for the coffee, the head waiter came up to us bearing a large basket full of huge peaches. But surely peaches were not in season then? Lord knew what they cost! I knew a little later, for my guest, going on with her conversation, absent-mindedly took one. “You see, you’ve filled your stomach with a lot of meat,” my one miserable little chop, “and you can’t eat any more. But I’ve just had a snack and I shall enjoy a peach.”
