I. Comment on Two of the following passages: (10 lines, 25 marks, Each)
A. "They are all so busy playing the ugly duckling ... And I don't feel a bit like a humble and ugly duckling. I do feel like a swan among geese - I can't help it. They make one feel so. And I don't care what they think of me."

B. "It's a shock. But I don't feel it very much, really. I don't feel any different. We've all got to die, and it doesn't seem to make any great difference, anyhow, whether you die or not. I can't feel any grief, you know. It leaves me cold."

C. "This man suffered too much. He hated all this, and somehow he couldn't get away. When I had a chance I begged him to try and leave while there was time."

D. "He hated sometimes the idea of being taken away - and then again ... But I don't understand these matters. I am a simple man. He thought it would scare you away – that you would give it up, thinking him dead."
