Read the following excerpt and answer the questions that follow.

Helmer: I have got authority from the retiring manager to undertake the necessary changes in the staff and in the re-arrangement of the work and I must make use of the Christmas week for that, so as to have everything in order for the New Year, Nora. Then that was why this poor Krogstad-
Helmer: Hm!
Nora: (Leans against the back of his chair and strokes his hair) If you hadn’t been so busy I should have asked you a tremendously big favour, Torvald.
Helmer: What is that? Tell me.
Nora: There is no one who has such good taste as you. And I do so want to look nice at the fancy dress ball. Tovarld. Couldn’t you take my hand and decide what I shall go as, and what sort of dress I shall wear?
Helmer: Aha! So my obstinate little woman is obliged to get someone to come to her rescue.
Nora: Yes, Torvald, I can’t get along a bit without your help.
Helmer: Very well. I will think it over; we shall manage to hit upon something
Nora: That is nice of you (goes to the Christmas tree; a short pause) How pretty the red flowers look, but tell me, was it really something very bad that this Krogstad was guilty of?
Helmer: He forged someone’s name. Have you any idea what that means?
Nora: Isn’t it possible that he was driven by necessity?
Helmer: Yes; or, as in so many cases, by imprudence. I am not so heartless as to condemn a man altogether because of a single false step of that kind.
Nora: No, you wouldn’t, would you, Torvald?
Helmer: Many a man has been able to retrieve his character, if he has openly confessed his fault and taken his punishment.
Nora: Punishment -?
Helmer: But Krogstard did nothing of the sort; he got himself out of it by a cunning trick, and that is why he was gone under altogether.
Nora: But do you think it would -?
Helmer: Just think how a guilty man like that has to lie and play the hypocrite with everyone; how he has to wear a mask in the presence of those near dear to him, even before his own wife and children. And about the children ……… that is the most terrible part of it all, Nora.
Nora: How?
Helmer: Because such an atmosphere of lies infects and poisons the whole life of home. Each breath the children take in such a house is full of the germs of evil.
Nora: (coming near him) Are you sure of that?
Helmer: My dear I have often seen it in the course of my life as a lawyer. Almost everyone who has gone to the bad early in life has had a deceitful mother.
Nora: Why do you say ……….. mother?

QUESTION 2

a) Explain the events that lead to this excerpt. (4marks)
- Krogstad comes to the Helmer’s to blackmail Nora into convincing her husband Helmer not to sack him from his position at the bank.
- When he leaves Nora tells the children not to mention to anyone that Krogstad had been there
- As Krogstad is leaving Helmer on his way into the house sees him
- Nora lies to Helmer that no one had been to the house and Helmer gets angry with her for the lie
- Nora begins her attempt to dissuade Helmer from sacking Krogstad

b) In this excerpt, though Helmer and Nora are discussing about Krogstad, they are indirectly referring to Nora’s predicament. Explain. (4marks)
- Krogstad had forged someone signature for financial gain
- Nora forged her father’s signature to obtain a loan Krogstad
- When Nora suggests that Krogstad might have been driven by nessecity, she must be thinking about her own situation. She had been driven by the desire to save her husband life
- Thus when Helmer says that Krogstad should have confessed his fault and taken his punishment, Nora is alarmed since she had kept the loan as well a guarded secret and not confessed
- She must be wondering what her punishment would be

c) ‘……… so my obstinate little woman is obliged to get someone to her rescue? Explain the ‘rescue’ Nora needs at this point in time.
• Nora is in need of money so that she can pay off Krogstad’s loan.
• She also needs Helmer to stop his plan of sacking Krogstad from his job at the bank.
This would to Krogstad’s threats and blackmail

d) From your knowledge of the text, apart from the fact that Krogstad had forged a signature why else does Helmer detest him? krogstad, who is Helmer’s childhood playmate, exhibits too much familiarity at the bank. This makes Helmer, his boss, uncomfortable. Krogastad does not maintain the expected distance given that Helmer is his senior at the work place.

e) Describe any two styles used in this excerpt

i) Irony – Helmer openly criticizes Krogstad calling him hypocritical and that he has to wear a mask in the presence of those dear to him
“Just think of how a guilty man like that has to lie and play hypocrite ………”

This is ironical because he is condemning Krogstad infront of his wife Nora who is also guilty of the same thing
Effect – this brings out Helmer’s obstinate and hypocritical nature.
Nora’s secretive nature is also brought out since Helmer is still unaware of her loan/forgery

ii) Metaphor – Atmosphere of lies infects and poisons……..
Each breath the children take ……… is full of the germs of evil.
This means that if one (Krogstad) is a liar the trait is likely to spread to the children. The children’s morals would be compromised if a parent lies
……. To wear a mask in the presence of those near and dear to him.
This refers to deception/pretence. When the mask is pulled out the ruth will be known.

iii) Foreshadowing – When Helmer insists that Krogstad who has forged a signature must confess and be punished, it foreshadows his own wife’s situation. She forged a signature and has kept it a secret all this years. She confesses and this past mistake costs her her marriage.

f) Give one character trait of Nora from this excerpt.
- Inquisitive – “No you wouldn’t, would you Torvald?”/Punishment?/How?/Are you sure of that? E.t.c.
- Tactful/cunning/intelligent – she approaches Helmer wisely to plead Krogstad cause. “Hw pretty the red flowers look …… but tell me was it something very bad this Krogstad was guilty of?”

g) Add a question tag: I can’t get a long a bit without your help (1mark) I can’t get along a bit without your help, can I? (expect a comma after the statement, C must be lower case and the question mark, if any of them is missing mark wrong)

h) The discussion with Helmer leaves Nora terrified. Explain why this is so going by what happens immediately after this excerpt Helmer had made it clear to Nora that an individual who commits vices such as Krogstad’s and is deceptive is likely to corrupt the morals of the children and poison their home.
Nora is guilty of the same vice as Krogstad is accused of and she is terrified that she might corrupt her own children. That’s why she does not allow the children come to her after this discussion.

    Nora. What right have you to question me, Mr.Krogstad?–You, one of my husband’s subordinates! But since you ask, you shall know. Yes, Mrs. Linde is to have an appointment. And it was I who pleaded her cause, Mr. Krogstad, let me tell you that.
    Krogstad. I was right in what I thought, then.
    Nora (walking up and down the stage). Sometimes one has a tiny little bit of influence, I should hope. Because one is a woman, it does not necessarily follow that–. When anyone is in a subordinate position, Mr. Krogstad, they should really be careful to avoid offending anyone who–who–
    Krogstad. Who has influence?
    Nora. Exactly.
    Krogstad (changing his tone). Mrs. Helmer, you will be so good as to use your influence on my behalf.
    Nora. What? What do you mean?
    Krogstad. You will be so kind as to see that I am allowed to keep my subordinate position in the Bank.
    Nora. What do you mean by that? Who proposes to take your post away from you?
    Krogstad. Oh, there is no necessity to keep up the pretence of ignorance. I can quite understand that your friend is not very anxious to expose herself to the chance of rubbing shoulders with me; and I quite understand, too, whom I have to thank for being turned off.
    Nora. But I assure you–
    Krogstad. Very likely; but, to come to the point, the time has come when I should advise you to use your influence to prevent that.
    Nora. But, Mr. Krogstad, I have no influence.
    Krogstad. Haven’t you? I thought you said yourself just now–
    Nora. Naturally I did not mean you to put that construction on it. I! What should make you think I have any influence of that kind with my husband?
    Krogstad. Oh, I have known your husband from our student days. I don’t suppose he is any more unassailable than other husbands.
    Nora. If you speak slightingly of my husband, I shall turn you out of the house.
    Krogstad. You are bold, Mrs. Helmer.
    Nora. I am not afraid of you any longer. As soon as the New Year comes, I shall in a very short time be free of the whole thing.
    Krogstad (controlling himself ). Listen to me, Mrs.Helmer. If necessary, I am prepared to fight for my small post in the Bank as if I were fighting for my life.
    Nora. So it seems.
    Krogstad. It is not only for the sake of the money; indeed, that weighs least with me in the matter. There is another reason–well, I may as well tell you. My position is this. I daresay you know, like everybody else, that once, many years ago, I was guilty of an indiscretion
    Nora. I think I have heard something of the kind.
    Krogstad. The matter never came into court; but every way seemed to be closed to me after that. So I took to the business that you know of. I had to do something; and, honestly, I don’t think I’ve been one of the worst. But now I must cut myself free from all that. My sons are growing up; for their sake I must try and win back as much respect as I can in the town. This post in the Bank was like the first step up for me–and now your husband is going to kick me downstairs again into the mud.
    Nora. But you must believe me, Mr. Krogstad; it is not in my power to help you at all.
    Krogstad. Then it is because you haven’t the will; but I have means to compel you.

    (a) Krogstad asks four questions just before this excerpt. Which are they?

    (b) For what reasons has Krogstad visited Nora? Refer to what happens in the excerpt and in the rest of the play.

    (c) “I was right in what I thought, then.” What do you think Krogstad thought?

In certain holiday when the drum was beaten to call the people together, the King's gardener, hearing the drum, said to himself, "Even though it is holiday, the garden must be watered. Accordingly, I will ask the monkeys to water the garden for me so that I can be off to enjoy myself and keep holiday with the rest." So he called the monkeys and asked them to water the garden. When the monkeys had promised to water all the young trees faithfully, the gardener gave them water skins and the wooden pot with which to perform the task.

    After the gardener had gone, the monkeys took up the water skins and the watering pot and began to water the young trees. But the leader of the monkeys stopped them. "Wait," he said," we must be careful not to waste water. Before you water them, you must first pull up each tree and look at the size of the roots. Then you must give plenty of water to those which have long, deep root. For when this water is finished, we shall have hard work to get any more.
    "To be sure," said the other monkeys," that is what we must do." So, they pulled up all the trees just as their leader had told them to do and all the young trees died.

    WHY THE OWL IS NOT KING OF THE BIRDS: INDIANTALE

    WHY is it that Crows torment the Owls as they sleep in the daytime? For the same reason that the Owls try to kill the Crows while they sleep at night
    Listen to a tale of long ago and then you will see why.
    Once upon a time, the people who lived together when the world was young took a certain man for their king. The four-footed animals also took one of their numbers for their king. The fish in the ocean chose a king to rule over them. Then the birds gathered together on a great flat rock, crying:
    "Among men there is a king, and among the beasts, and the fish have one, too; but we bird have none. We ought to have a king. Let us choose one now."
    And so the birds talked the matter over and at last they all said, "Let us have the Owl for our king."
    No, not all, for one old Crow rose up and said, "For my part, I don't want the Owl to be our king. Look at him now while you are all crying that you want him for your king. See how sour he looks right now. If that's the cross look he wears when he is happy, how will he look when he is angry? I, for one, want no such sour-looking king!"
    Then the Crow flew up into the air crying, "I don't like it! I don't like it!" The Owl rose and followed him. From that time on the Crows and the Owls have been enemies. The birds chose a Turtle Dove to be their king, and then flew to their homes.

    i) You have been asked to narrate the above story to a group of young people. What four things would you do to attract their attention?

    ii) If you were narrating the above story to young children, how do you ensure you sustain their attention for the entire course of the narration?

    iii) How would you say the line “I don't like it! I don't like it!"?
