  The Last Lesson by Alphonse Daudet Franz is scared of going to school as his French teacher M. Hamel had announced a test on participles which he had not learnt. Although, Franz wants day out of the school and enjoy beauty of nature- the bright sunshine, the birds chirping in the woods, but eventually decides to go to the school.

My Mother at Sixty-Six by Kamala Das

-
My Mother at Sixty Six The poet is driving from her parents home to Cochin by car, her mother by her side—sleeping – open mouthed very pale, colourless and frail-like a dead body indicating that her end was near. The poet looks at her and feels intense pain and agony to realize that soon death will cast her mother from her. She tries to divert her mind, looks outside at the young trees and happy children bursting out of their homes in a playful mood. After the security check at the airport she looks again at her mother’s face—pale and cold. The poet has always had a very intimate and close relationship with her mother and she has always felt the fear of being separated from her mother hence it is familiar. The poet reassures her mother that they will meet again. NCERT Book Solution Page No: 91 Think it Out 1. What is the kind of pain and ache that the poet feels?
