CHECK YOUR UNDERSTANDING - ASSIGNMENT
short questions and answers

1. Who was alone on the ledge?
2. Why was he afraid?

3. Who tried to encourage him?
4. For nearly how many hours he remain hungry?
5. Who give him a piece of fish?
6. How did he fly?

ASSESSMENT:
Q1. Why was the young seagull afraid to fly? Do you think all young birds are
afraid to make their first flight, or are some birds more timid than others? Do you
think a human baby also finds it a challenge to take its first steps?

Q2. “The sight of the food maddened him.” What does this suggest? What
compelled the young seagull to finally fly?

Q3. “They were beckoning to him, calling shrilly.” Why did the seagull’s father
and mother threaten him and cajole him to fly?

Q4. Have you ever had a similar experience, where your parents encouraged you
to do something that you were too scared to try?
(You can write your own answer taking cues from the model answer provided
below)

Q5. In the case of a bird flying, it seems a natural act, and a foregone conclusion
that it should succeed. In the examples you have you have given in the answer to
the previous question, was your success guaranteed, or was it important for you
to try, regardless of a possibility of failure?
