Question 1.
Read the prose passage (text 1) and poem (text 2) supplied below
carefully, and answer the questions that follow. Text 1 - Prose The curlews
circled down, down, down like revolving wheels. Crying and calling to their
young hiding in the grass, which peeped softly in return. The stream that
passed near the nesting area splashed and swished as it crawled over the
small stones that lined its bed. A breeze lightly touched the field and the
reeds along the stream bowed and bobbed as if paying their respects.
Samantha watched this scene contemplatively as she sat on the fence at
the bottom of the field slowly swinging her legs. She had come to stay with
her aunt who live in the grim, grey farmhouse which seemed to squat and
frown behind her. At twelve years old, Samantha was slim with large
soulful, sad eyes. Her hair, lion tawny, made her hazel eyes appear amber.
Strands of her hair drifted on the breeze touching her like cobwebs. She
stared at the stream which blinked and twinkled like sequin, like those on
her mother’s frivolous evening gown. Samantha had been unceremoniously
left at her aunt’s whilst her parents went away on holiday. She could still
hear the ghastly gaiety of her mother’s laugh as the two of them drove
away. Her aunt had always made Samantha uneasy. She had beady,
bright eyes like a magpie, was twig thin, with long taloned hands with which
she, scratch, scratch, scratched at herself. At night Samantha was
convinced it was her aunt’s talons that squealed and scraped down the
bedroom windowpane, a threat which frightened her. It made sleep difficult.
An early riser, Samantha could escape through the kitchen door and head
for the comfort of the field. Sitting in today’s soft sunlight provided
Samantha with a sense of peace and turning her head she could see the
trees on the far end of the field that lay outside of the fence. These trees
were looking at her, of this Samantha was convinced, like protective
parents. ENG 2614 - Assignment 03 Unique Assignment No: 780527 Due
