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 Date: 17
