Grade 10 English Belated Valentine

One day a young man was standing in the middle of the town proclaiming that he had the most beautiful heart in the whole valley. A large crowd gathered and they all admired his heart for it was perfect. There was not a mark or a flaw in it. Yes, they all agreed it truly was the most beautiful heart they had ever seen. The young man was very proud and boasted more loudly about his beautiful heart.
Suddenly, an old man appeared at the front of the crowd and said, "Why your heart is not nearly as beautiful as mine." The crowd and the young man looked at the old man's heart. It was beating strongly, but full of scars, it had places where pieces had been removed and other pieces put in, but they didn't fit quite right and there were several jagged edges. In fact, in some places there were deep gouges where whole pieces were missing. The people stared -- how can he say his heart is more beautiful, they thought?
The young man looked at the old man's heart and saw its state and laughed. "You must be joking," he said. "Compare your heart with mine, mine is perfect and yours is a mess of scars and tears." "Yes," said the old man, "yours is perfect looking but I would never trade with you. You see, every scar represents a person to whom I have given my love - I tear out a piece of my heart and give it to them, and often they give me a piece of their heart which fits into the empty place in my heart, but because the pieces aren't exact, I have some rough edges, which I cherish, because they remind me of the love we shared.
Sometimes I have given pieces of my heart away, and the other person hasn't returned a piece of his heart to me. These are the empty gouges -- giving love is taking a chance. Although these gouges are painful, they stay open, reminding me of the love I have for these people too, and I hope someday they may return and fill the space I have waiting. So now do you see what true beauty is?"
The young man stood silently with tears running down his cheeks. He walked up to the old man, reached into his perfect young and beautiful heart, and ripped a piece out. He offered it to the old man with trembling hands. The old man took his offering, placed it in his heart and then took a piece from his old scarred heart and placed it in the wound in the young man's heart. It fit, but not perfectly, as there were some jagged edges. The young man looked at his heart, not perfect anymore but more beautiful than ever, since love from the old man's heart flowed into his. They embraced and walked away side by side.
1- Why did the old man consider his heart more beautiful than the young man's? Do you agree with the old man? Why/Why not?
2- How did the old man describe reciprocated love in a metaphor? (look up recepracated in a dictionary)
3- This story is an allegory. Look up the word allegory on the internet and explain how this story is classified as one.
4- What is the moral message of this allegory?
5- Did you like this story? Why/ Why not?

answer key literature

1. Notes will vary but should include points similar to the following:
1.
a. This excerpt reveals that the story begins inside a house, and the

time is probably in the future (because of the voice-clock).
b. The mood suggests quietness, normality, emptiness, and perhaps a

hint that something is amiss.
2.
a. It is morning, and it is definitely in the future (because the whole

kitchen is run by robots).
b. The mood suggests that something is wrong because "the eggs were

shriveled" and the toast "like stone"; throwing away such a large

breakfast suggests wastefulness and deterioration.
3.
a. It has been raining, but now the sun is out. An atomic blast has

destroyed nearly everything for miles around.
b. The mood suggests a feeling of desolation, ruin, emptiness: the

house "stood alone in a city of rubble and ashes"; the "one house left

standing."
4.
a. The automated house continues to exist and function, but people have

not been inventive enough to stop from killing themselves.
b. The excerpt suggests an eerie, silent, and depressing mood: the

cigar fell away "into a mound of quiet ash"; the "empty chairs" faced

each other between the "silent walls."

18. 1. Notes will vary somewhat but should reflect the idea that Okeke

claims that love plays no part in the decision.
2. Notes will vary somewhat but should reflect the idea that Okeke says

that it is unchristian for a woman to teach school.
3. Notes will vary somewhat but should reflect the idea that Okeke

claims this will never happen because he will never meet Nene.
4. Notes will vary. Students could make notes suggesting that Okeke is

unable to persuade Nnaemeka not to marry Nene because Nnaemeka
a. does not share his father's traditional beliefs.
b. loves Nene and is determined to marry her.
c. wants his father's approval or acceptance but has no intention of

sacrificing his happiness just to get it.
d. believes that Nene is right for him regardless of what his father

says or believes.
55. 1. Luke tries to assert himself and maintain propriety in the

house, but he is easily cowed. The aside suggests that he is perceptive

and insightful; he knows that Smirnov will cause some problems.
2. Smirnov is arrogant, presumptuous, pompous, and demanding. The stage

direction ("angrily") suggests that he has a high opinion of himself

and a low opinion of Luke, or of servants in general.
3. Mrs. Popov tries to assert herself by throwing Smirnov out, but she

is indecisive. She waffles in her intentions and her feelings, and she

misconstrues her own confusion for anger. Despite her vows of mourning,

she is easily taken in by what is probably the first man who has

visited her since her husband died.
79. Notes will vary but could include the following:
1.
a. personification
b. There is something special about this night that "sings" to the

speaker and reminds him of his beloved.
2.
a. simile (and possibly personification)
b. The sense of loss he feels from writing the "saddest lines," or

admitting that he misses his beloved, covers him completely, like dew.
3.
a. repetition
b. The speaker seems to be trying to convince himself that he no longer

loves her, but each time he says it he realizes more and more that he

does still love her.
4.
a. personification
b. The speaker's love for his beloved lives, and he longs for her, but

she is gone.
30. Answers will vary. Students could say that, if the story were told

from Okeke's point of view, it is likely that
a. Nnaemeka would appear to be more stubborn and less sympathetic.
b. the reader would not meet Nene, and Okeke's feelings about her would

affect what the reader got to know about her.
c. the city of Lagos would be presented as a corrupting influence.
d. Okeke's anger and sadness would be more central to the story, and

the effects of his reactions on Nnaemeka and Nene would be less

central.
6. Answers will vary but should include points similar to the

following:
a. The house might be described as organized and efficient (it

continues to work every hour of the day in a highly efficient way); it

is protective of itself (it has a "preoccupation with self-protection";

it "tried to save itself"); and it is mortal-it can and does die (the

house "shuttered, oak bone on bone, its bared skeleton cringing").
b. The fire might be described as angry and vengeful ("The house gave

ground as the fire in ten billion angry sparks moved with flaming ease

from room to room. . . ."), and smart ("But the fire was clever. It had

sent flame outside the house. . . .").
c. Just as the house had a "sublime disregard for the situation," the

owners of these wonderfully inventive houses had a "sublime disregard"
for the dangers of self-annihilation.
83. Answers will vary. A description of the effect of the repetition of

"My soul is not satisfied that it has lost her" could point out that

the repetition
a. emphasizes the speaker's sense of loss.

13. D. radiation poisoning.
14. B. protective.
15. C. McClellans lived with a similar disregard for reality.
17. B. fire.
19. A. to make Okeke happy.
21. B. indifference.

Shakespeare Sonnet 130

My mistress' eyes are nothing like the sun;
Coral is far more red than her lips' red;
If snow be white, why then her breasts are dun;
If hairs be wires, black wires grow on her head.
I have seen roses damask'd, red and white,
But no such roses see I in her cheeks;
And in some perfumes is there more delight
Than in the breath that from my mistress reeks.
I love to hear her speak, yet well I know
That music hath a far more pleasing sound;
I grant I never saw a goddess go;
My mistress, when she walks, treads on the ground:
And yet, by heaven, I think my love as rare
As any she belied with false compare.
