 Hello you all my lovely buddies and a very warm welcome to you all on this amazing platform and I, your English educator, Pooja Sharma here have something for you. What I have that is a poem. Yes, look we have read a chapter and it was all about freedom fighter. So it brings us to know that how essential and how much importance of freedom is in our life. So similarly we are becoming selfish. We just take care of ourselves that okay we have got freedom, we will not say anything, we will be late, we will be late. Just imagine of that kind of life. That if you are caged, if you are like locked in a room before your exams and it is going to be forever. You can't even be locked for a month by going out and breathing. Why do you have to go out? Like even in office we work. So what it happens that after certain of time we feel like we have to go out and breathe. So how you feel? How you feel if you are taken away from your best place and being caged. So these are the things we will talk about in this poem and the name of the poem is you can see a tiger in the zoo. Okay here I have a question and very prominent question. Do you really feel that the best place to place a tiger is to keep the tiger in the zoo? I repeat my question and I ask you, do you think you should keep the tiger in the zoo? Is that the best place for it? So I hope that you have given the answer and it must be no. Yes. So when we can't do anything with our freedom, we don't want anyone's interference in our life then how we can do with the other animals. So this is a poem and which is a thoughtful poem which makes us realize that how we are encroaching in animals life and because of us they are being going through, they are suffered for. So this is the picture of our book as well. Our book is this picture of our tiger in the zoo and let's talk about the author. First of all I salute this author to have this point of view and making the students, the children of this era understand about the importance of freedom of animals as well. So what is his name? His name is George Leslie Norris. You can remember George Leslie Norris, anyway you have to remember the name of the poet. Why it is important? You know that even in the questions it is asked that from the point of view of the author. So when you don't write the name of the author, it feels like you didn't even know the author's name. So if the point of view of the author is asked, then you can directly write that from the view of George Leslie Norris. So what you highlight, what you underline, what you write in caps, all those terms are your helpfulness. So he was born on 21st May 1921 and he died on 6th April 2006. He was a prize winning Welsh poet and short story writer. So you have to remember that he won prize and he was a Welsh poet as well as he was a short story writer. I mean he was very big, he didn't write like that. Children like short poems. He has written a lot of poems as well. And here is he. Let's move ahead with the introductory part of our poem. What is the poem? This poem talks about the contrast of a tiger in the zoo with a tiger in the natural habitat. Simply you will compare every time every where that there is a tiger who likes to put a very long stick, he roars openly and lives his life in his own way. And if we don't take it from the natural habitat and close it in a zoo, close it in a cage, then how their life changes. I have a question here. Again I would like to ask you after reading this and you have to tell me in the comment section. So what does this poem contrast to? A zoo life or a natural habitat life? Whose tiger? The poem moves from the zoo to the jungle and again back to the zoo means again and again there are 5 stanzas. So sometimes they take us to the zoo, sometimes they tell us about the natural habitat of the tiger. Then again this comparison goes all over the poem. Zoo has no freedom. You all know that when you live in a zoo there is no freedom. In the natural habitat that is their freedom. Even he is the one who can scare people. Terrorists can create us. We can get scared feeling like that. He is kept in a cemented cell behind the bars. Behind the bars means keeping it in a cage. He is used for the jail. If you use these words to tell that he is behind the bars means that he is present. He feels angry as well. You can see he is not used for the poet here. He is used for the tiger. In your childhood you must have heard about that that he is used for male and she is used for female and it is used for animals and non-living things. But gradually we got to learn about the things that even they are also having their life. So what is written? He is written for the tiger. So he feels angry and frustrated and helpless. This is all about in this poem. So this poem starts like this. I will read the poem where I feel that I have to tell you its Hindi meaning. I will definitely tell you about that. As well as what we are going to do. I will tell you its detailed description about the theme, the rhyming scheme and everything with the question and answers at the end. So you still remain till the end of the session and do like and share this session. Let's get started. He stalks in his vivid stripes. This is called a stripe. If the spelling is this, this is called a strip and this is stripes. The pronunciation changes and when you are connected with me and you are in my classes, you get good pronunciation. If the new pronunciation is added on then I will tell you everything. So this is a strip and this is stripes. So he stalks in his vivid stripes. Vivid means big big. The few steps of his cage. First he is told about the skin. After that, these few steps mean he is taking small steps. His small cage means like this. This is a cage here. If you have ever been to zoo then you will be able to relate it very well. If you have ever been to zoo then you will be able to relate it very well. And yes, I remember that I was to ask you something here at the end. So my question was that you don't like to go to certain place. You don't like to go anywhere like some people don't like to go to Nihal. Or there are some relatives who don't like to go there. They don't feel by because they are like, don't sit here don't do this, don't do that. So you have to sit at certain place and sit quietly. Even there are some teachers as well that you don't like to attend their classes because they take you to different places. So my question here is that even for like few days or few hours you can't survive then how you can think of an animal that can be forever taken away from the natural habitat. They are forever taken away from their natural habitat where they have to survive. So we remove them from there and keep them in the zoo. I am just taking the example although everyone feels that they like to stay in Nihal because there mama can't scold us. So this is an example where you are told to stay forever and you will have cruelty on you people will come to you they will poke you and it is possible that the people there will give you punishment and you don't want to entertain but they will come to you again and again to do this. So how it feels how it feels you can feel it if you don't feel it then this poem won't touch you and this is a touchy poem actually it is very touchy once when I was like this I and my all the students we were so overwhelmed that we got emotional because if you can't feel it then you have to clear the exam but it is not included but for the reason it's included just to know and just to make you realize that how important animals are as well. Let's move ahead So on pads of Velvet quiet in his quiet rage paragraph and it says that he stalks in his vivid stripes means what is on his body here you can see that there are very long stripes and you can take some steps in your cage because it's not wide he is a living animal and you have caged him he is locked in a cage if you want to I can hear some sound I don't know what of that ok on pads of Velvet quiet what is called as pads ok we talk about his legs you must have heard his legs the sound of his legs it's really heard because he is very soft soft so that's what written here he is very well witty and his quiet rage he should be lurking in shadow near the water hole where plump deer pass now the first is about the zoo first is about the zoo and the second one is about natural habitat so for natural habitat I will write N.H. ok so the second one tells instead of being caged he should be lurking in shadow means he should be outside in his natural habitat where he should be sliding through the long grass the grass in between if you have watched movies or national geography channel one category of people who eat food always watch this netgeo or discovery channel so if you watch discovery channel you have that glimpses and you can just think of that you will click on it yes I saw it there are a lot of grass they move so that is the moment it is sharing with us near the water hole water hole means water bodies can be like pond and a pond can also be said that what we are talking about in water body where they are roaming and why they are roaming there because they know because tiger knows that it is time when deer will come and drink water and I will slap them and I will slap them so where the plump deer also pass from there so what they do is they lurk around moving ahead the third paragraph says he should be snarling around the houses at the jungles edge bearing his white fangs his claws terrorizing the village again the third is telling us about the natural habitat where he should be in the villages what he should do he should be roaming around the houses terrorizing people where at the jungles edge where at the edge of the jungle edge means the boundary part of the jungle so the houses around there there is a tiger who looks around the houses and the people there they stop in their houses similar to that bearing his white fangs you can see fangs, fangs are the long teeth fangs is what long teeth don't tell a person that you have fangs as you can see Dracula and all Dracula and all have long teeth even of snakes as well they are called fangs and his claws you know that very well so claws and claws means we can call them nails sharp nails for that we can say that terrorizing the village and what he must be doing terrorizing the village means the people of the jungles there will be his terror his terror will spread so if he was in the natural habitat then it would be there but he is locked in a concrete cell now here again there is a zoo but where is he now he is locked in the concrete cell his strength behind bar he is talking about his cage where is his strength behind the cage and stalking the length of his cage ignoring visitors now he is just looking at the cage and if a visitor comes then how will he sit on his face I don't have a place like that so you can feel that if you have seen sometimes encountered tigers how they feel when they are doing what they are for they are not allowed to do what they are doing they are locked in a cage visitors come someone hits them always we have seen that someone will find a stone and hit them how will you feel if somebody comes to you and hits them if a bird is flying from above your mouth is very beautiful you cannot bear anything and if someone is sitting comfortably in the zoo then what we do we give them to eat as well now you don't know we are eating chips we gave them chips whatever food we have we give them to the rapper even I don't know how adults also do this so all these things are not right we should not do this this should not be in practice when he was the last voice at night the patrolling cars and stares with his brilliant eyes at the brilliant stars again this is about of his when he is placed in the zoo when he is placed in the zoo he lastly tells you what is happening in the zoo that is he was the last voice at night he is listening to the voice of the visitors they are coming and they are just calling they are calling him they are attracting him and he hears and lastly when he is placed in the zoo you know it very well it is used for tigers he heard the last voice at night he hears the last voice at night and the patrolling cars the last voice is of patrolling cars if you don't know patrolling cars let me tell you you must have seen that the jeep comes out of the jeep the car comes out of the jeep the police comes out and then we see that in that place if there are people gathered like we are talking about the covid time if people like 2 or 3 people they are in a group and they are gathered somewhere patrolling cars comes out and then he says go to your house you don't know about this contigious things and all patrolling cars means patrolling is different it is not PETR that is not a patrolling car it is patrolling it is patrolling means patrolling is under control so its patrolling car what they are doing that means ones who take care of the animals in the zoo they are thinking and they are overlooking and investigating that everything is at their place injury to any animal like that and stairs with his brilliant eyes and then who? If you have seen any animal at night, in the evening, from the evening part to the night, if we see them at night, their eyes shine differently, when the light goes on their eyes. So that is the way we can say that they stare with the bright, brilliant eyes. The eyes are so brilliant, we can see by the sparkles and by the brightness of their eyes. And that is the brilliant stars. And who are they looking at? They are looking at brilliant stars. This is all about and it is written by whom. You can tell me the name in the comment section as well because you have to learn the name of the poet. And the name of the poet is Leslie Norris. I have already told you the full name of the poet. You should always learn all the names. Poet names are very much important and about the poet and the author, it's also important for you. So let's move ahead and do this part, that is glossary part. Okay, so in the glossary part, what few words I have to tell you that is stocks means stem, stripes means belt, here it is not the belt, stripe means these lines. These lines are the stripes, okay, which are in the form of like wide length, lurking means hiding yourself, hiding and stalking means following. So these are the words which are important for you and I have told you. Moving ahead, I have because you always say that ma'am, please tell us about this thing, that thing. So I have this part here and I hope that you are going to love this. Theme is what freedom versus captivity, freedom versus captivity means freedom means freedom, captivity means that your freedom has been taken away and you have been locked up. Rhyming scheme is they are A, B, C, B and A, B, C, D. Look, I will tell you about the rhyming scheme one more time, how you can find it out. Look, stripes, cage, quiet and rage, okay. So A, B, C, okay, then again, cage and rage. So here, look, these are stripes. Then cage came, we did B. Let me change the color of here. So here, what did we do? A did it because stripes, from whom? It started with A, let's go. We said B because stripes and cage are together, we are not rhyming. So A, B then quiet is C, but cage is rhyming with rage, cage rage. So A, B, C, B in that way you have to remember, okay. So let's do this part. So rhyming scheme, you always remember and write it as well. Poetic devices, what are the poetic devices here used? I'll tell in detail in my classes as well on app. Ki metaphor kya hota, personification kya hota, alliteration kya hota, imagery kya hota, symbolism kya hota. But here you just learn by heart that metaphor ka use hua hai, personification ka use hua hai, alliteration ka use hua, imagery ka use hua hai, aur sathe sathe symbolism ka use hua hai. Now, the next thing is, are you all ready for the rapid fire round? Tell me in the comment section quickly about the rapid fire round. Are you all ready for that or not? I hope that you all are ready because you have been so long here, just to answer the questions which I'm going to ask you. So here a very first question is, the poem draws a contrast between kiske bheech mein contrast hai. Animals and human beings ke bheech mein tiger in a zoo or tiger in a forest and tiger in a zoo and humans and human are tiger in forest. So I can say that you have must answered it already with very question easily. That is a tiger in a zoo and tiger in a forest, okay. So this is the part, you find it out the answer in that easiest way. Next question is, the main contrasting idea which suggests about by the extract is that of, what's the idea? So here you have got the theme as well. Here you got the idea as well, central idea. You ask, the students say that somewhere central idea and theme like goes with each other. Dono ek hi jaisi hu jaati hai cheeze when we go through all these parts together, okay. So the option A is strength and weakness. B is nature and culture. C is beast and mortals. And D is confinement and freedom. So option D here is the correct. I hope that you have given the correct answer. Confine karna matlab ki baan dena choti si jage mein compact place mein rakh dena and freedom is you know very well. Aapki freedom ke sath mein. Hum wo kya likti hai? Tum log bhi likti thi pehle I don't know. What we write on like I profile my life, my rules, my freedom like that. So we are very much peculiar about our freedom but when it comes to animals we don't care. That's very bad. Now the next question and the third question is the tiger presents in the natural habitat is important. Natural habitat mein kyun saroori hai yaapko batana hai. From this poem we get to know about the example of deer as well. Deer ka ek example deke what the poet wants to tell us. So A, it's glory. It helps maintain the vegetation. Gives hunters a wild chase and it maintains the balance of the food chain. Deer ka example kyun diya hai because ye food chain ka process hai. If you have abhi toh padah hi hoga, definitely science mein toh aapne food chain ki baara mein jaana hi hoga ki bae korn kisko k hata hai phit korn kisko k hata hai phit korn kisko k hata hai se khate khate kate kate food chain ban jaati hai. So that is about the heart. So why a tiger must be in a natural habitat to maintain the balance of foods. And the next question with the answer I have, because some students might feel that we will not get the answer, so we will give the answer here as well, we have no problem. I just want you to do a lot of practice, till you do not practice, you feel it lack of confidence, but you practice, write your own answers, even you can get the hint from your hair as well, so make it compact and you can make your answer, don't worry. Okay, what does the poet convey through the poem? Everything can come through this question. If any question comes through this poem, this answer can be fit anywhere. You can write this answer anywhere, anytime. The poet tries to expose the miserable life led by the animals in the zoo. They expose that how animals are treated in the zoo and what they actually feel. He compares the life of the tiger in the zoo and its natural habitat. The animal have the right to freedom as well and should not be caged. They should be allowed to run free in the wild. So that's why I am always concerned about your future and your subject concerns. I have got everything to you and you must also have done what? Like and subscribe and definitely comment it and share the session. On this note, I am just going to say if you are an animal lover or not, but you must respect everyone's freedom. Okay, so thank you so much. Bye-bye.
