ACTIVITY-02

Q.1 Read the extract and complete the activities given below:

             With that, Jo shouldered her broom and marched into the house, wondering what they would all say to her. Laurie was in a flutter of excitement at the idea of having company, and flew about to get ready, for as Mrs. March said, he was “a little gentleman”, and did honour to the coming guest by brushing his curly pate, putting on a fresh color, and trying to tidy up the room, which in spite of half a dozen servants, was anything but neat. Presently there came a loud ring, than a decided voice, asking for “Mr. Laurie”, and a surprised-looking servant came running up to announce a young lady.

 “All right, sent her up, it’s Miss Jo,” said Laurie, going to the door of his little parlor to meet Jo, who appeared, looking rosy and quite at her ease, with a covered dish in one hand and Beth’s three kittens in the other.

“Here I am, bag and baggage,” she said briskly. “Mother sent her love, and was glad if I could do anything for you. Meg wanted me to bring some of her blanc-mange, she makes it very nicely, and Beth thought her cats would be comforting. I knew you’d laugh at them, but I couldn’t refuse, she was so anxious to do something.”

 It so happened that Beth’s funny loan was just the thing, for in laughing over the kits, Laurie forgot his bashfulness, and grew sociable at once.

“That looks too pretty to eat,” he said, smiling with pleasure, as Jo uncovered the dish, and showed the blanc-mange, surrounded by a garland of green leaves, and the scarlet flowers of Amy’s pet geranium

Being Neighborly narrates the beginning of a lifelong friendship between Jo, the brightest and liveliest among the four sisters and Lourie their wealthy new neighbour.

Being Neighborly by Louisa May Alcott

 Unit 1.1 11th std. ( Maharashtra State Board)

Being Neighborly: Activity Sheet

Q.1 Read the extract and complete the activities given below.

       

     “What in the world are you going to do now, Jo?” asked Meg one snowy afternoon, as her sister came tramping through the hall, in rubber boots, old sacque and hood, with a broom in one hand and a shovel in the other. “Going out for exercise,” answered Jo with a mischievous twinkle in her eyes. “I should think two long walks this morning would have been enough! It’s cold and dull out, and I advise you to stay warm and dry by the fire, as I do,” said Meg with a shiver.

        “Never take advice! Can’t keep still all day, and not being a pussy-cat, I don’t like to doze by the fire. I like adventures, and I’m going to find some.”

        Meg went back to toast her feet and read "Ivanhoe"; and Jo began to dig paths with great energy. The snow was light, and with her broom, she soon swept a path all around the garden, for Beth to walk in when the sun came out and the invalid dolls needed air. Now, the garden separated the Marches’ house from that of Mr. Laurence. Both stood in a suburb of the city, which was still countrylike, with groves and lawns, large gardens, and quiet streets. A low hedge parted the two estates. On one side was an old, brown house, looking rather bare and shabby, robbed of the vines that in summer covered its walls and the flowers, which then surrounded it. On the other side was a stately stone mansion, plainly betokening every sort of comfort and luxury, from the big coach house and well-kept grounds to the conservatory and the glimpses of lovely things one caught between the rich curtains. Yet it seemed a lonely, lifeless sort of house, for no children frolicked on the lawn, no motherly face ever smiled at the windows, and few people went in and out, except the old gentleman and his grandson.

A.1 Complete the following statements :

 i. To Jo the fine house seemed lonely and lifeless

ii. Jo swept a path around the garden for Beth to walk in after the sun come out and the dolls needed air.

A.2  Jo doesn't want to be a pussy cat because_______

Ans: Jo doesn't want to be a pussy cat because she is an adventurous girl and she likes adventure. Therefore Jo doesn't want to be a pussy cat.

A3. Describe the contrast between March and Laurence's house.

Ans:  House of March is an old, brown house and it is bare and shabby but children always play around the house. On the other hand, Laurence's house was a stately stone mansion with well-kept grounds but it seemed lonely and lifeless and no children were frolicked around.

A4.  Describe your own house in your own words.

      ( Write your own answer)

A5. Do as directed:

1. 'I advise you to stay warm and dry by the fire.'

( Rewrite the sentence beginning with 'You')

Ans:  You are advised to stay warm and dry by the fire.'


2. 'Meg went back to toast her feet.' 

 (Identify the Tense in the above statement )

Ans- Simple past tense

A6 Give one word for the following group of words:

1. infant short jacket & hood - Sacque

2. Walking with slow heavy steps - tramping

3. Sleep for a short period of time- doze

4. Played cheerfully with fun- frolicked
