Q3 of 12 Page 116

The poem evokes a mental picture of the scene. Draw a rough sketch to illustrate the episode.

I will draw a sketch of an episode joining different points with each other which are as follows:


a) The poem started with pulling a curtain on a conversation which was going on between landlady and tenant and there was consent of price between them as poem started with a line “The price seemed reasonable.”


b) Further, the scenario of place where landlady will give on rent was described as; the place was indifferent, strange and off premises. A poem was started with a scenic view of the location. It seems like a place was unfamiliar, mediocre in preference and not that well maintained.


c) Now with running conversation, a man who is seeking for rent told that he was an African this continued with a small silence as lady felt strange talking to him, she started the conversation again stating that “How dark?” this shows that she was asking about his skin colour. Lady owed her thoughts on her conversation stating colours dark or very dark and light or very light asking a man on call to describe his appearance and on the same line poem was running till the end.
