From rest and sleep, which but thy pictures be, Much pleasure, then from thee much more must flow, And soonest our best men with thee do go, Rest of their bones, and souls' delivery. Thou art slave to Fate, Chance, kings, and desperate men, And dost with poison, war, and sickness dwell.

Slouching through the tawny grass Or loose-limbed lolling in the shade, Purring for the sun to pass And build a twilight barricade Around the vast arena where; In scattered herds, his grazing prey Do not suspect in what wild fear They'll join with him in fatal play; Till hunger draws slack sinews tight And vibrant as a hunter's bow; Then, like a fleck of mottled light, He slides across the still plateau. A tremor rakes the herds: they scent The pungent breeze of his advance; Heads rear and jerk in vigilant Compliance with the game of chance In which, of thousands, only one Is centred in the cheetah's eye; They wheel and then stampede, for none Knows which it is that has to die.

EXTRACT A Their most faithful disciples were the two cart-horses, Boxer and Clover. These 1 two had great difficulty in thinking anything out for themselves, but having once accepted the pigs as their teachers, they absorbed everything that they were told, and passed it on to the other animals by simple arguments. They were unfailing in their attendance at the secret meetings in the barn, and led the singing of 5 ‘Beasts of England’, with which the meetings always ended. Now, as it turned out, the Rebellion was achieved much earlier and more easily than anyone had expected. In past years Mr Jones, although a hard master, had been a capable farmer, but of late he had fallen on evil days. He had become much disheartened after losing money in a lawsuit, and had taken to 10 drinking more than was good for him. For whole days at a time he would lounge in his Windsor chair in the kitchen, reading the newspapers, drinking, and occasionally feeding Moses on bits of bread soaked in beer. His men were idle and dishonest, the fields were full of weeds, the buildings wanted roofing, the hedges were neglected, and the animals were underfed. 15 5.1. 5.1.1 Choose the correct answer. The word ‘disciples’ in line 1 means ... A assistants B slaves Cc followers D helpers (1) 5.1.2 What evidence is provided in the text to prove that they were ‘faithful disciples‘? Name TWO things.

Then Napoleon stood up to reply. He said very quietly that the windmill was nonsense and that he advised nobody to vote for it, and promptly sat down again; he had spoken for barely 30 seconds, and 5 seemed almost indifferent as to the effect he produced. At this Snowball sprang to his feet, and shouting down the sheep, who had begun bleating again, broke into a passionate appeal in favour of the windmill. Until now the animals had been about equally divided in their sympathies, but in a moment Snowball's eloquence had carried them away. In glowing sentences he painted a picture of Animal Farm 10 as it might be when sordid labour was lifted from the animals' backs. His imagination had now run far beyond chaff-cutters and turnip slicers. Electricity, he said, could operate threshing machines, ploughs, harrows, rollers and reapers and binders, besides supplying every stall with its own electric light, hot and cold water, and an electric heater. By the time he had finished speaking, there was no 15 doubt as to which way the vote would go. But just at this moment Napoleon stood up and, casting a peculiar sidelong look at Snowball, uttered a high-pitched whimper of a kind no one had ever heard him utter before. 5.5 Explain why the sheep keep interrupting Snowball when he speaks. (2) 5.6 In ashort paragraph, explain why you think either Snowball or Napoleon is the best candidate for the leadership of animal farm.

All the other animals immediately raced back to the farmhouse to give Squealer the news. Only Clover remained, and Benjamin, who lay down at Boxer's side, and, without speaking, kept the flies off him with his long tail. After about a 5 quarter of an hour Squealer appeared, full of sympathy and concern. He said that Comrade Napoleon had learned with the very deepest distress of this misfortune to one of the most loyal workers on the farm, and was already making arrangements to send Boxer to be treated in the hospital at Willingdon. The animals felt a little uneasy at this. Except for Mollie and Snowball, no other animal 10 had ever left the farm, and they did not like to think of their sick comrade in the hands of human beings. However, Squealer easily convinced them that the veterinary surgeon in Willingdon could treat Boxer's case more satisfactorily than could be done on the farm. And about half an hour later, when Boxer had somewhat recovered, he was with difficulty got on to his feet, and managed to 15 limp back to his stall, where Clover and Benjamin had prepared a good bed of straw for him. 5.10 In your own words, explain what has happened to Boxer.

Only flame.’ Piggy had settled himself in a coign between two rocks, and sat with the conch on his knees. 'We haven't made a fire,' he said, ‘what's any use. We couldn't keep a fire like that going, not if we tried.' ‘A fat lot you tried,’ said Jack contemptuously. ‘You just sat.' 'We used his specs,' said Simon, smearing a black cheek with his forearm. 'He helped that way.' ‘| got the conch,' said Piggy indignantly.

Ralph took the conch from him and looked round the circle of boys. ‘We've got to have special people for looking after the fire. Any day there may be a ship out there’ — he waved his arm at the taut wire of the horizon — and if we have a signal going they'll come and take us off. And another thing. We ought to have more rules. Where the conch is, that's a meeting. The same up here as down there.’ They assented. Piggy opened his mouth to speak, caught Jack's eye and shut it again.

So the figure, with feet that dragged behind it, slid up the mountain. Yard by yard, puff by puff, the breeze hauled the figure through the blue flowers, over the boulders and red stones, till it lay huddled among the 5 shattered rocks of the mountain-top. Here the breeze was fitful and allowed the strings of the parachute to tangle and festoon: and the figure sat, its helmeted head between its knees, held by a complication of lines. When the breeze blew the lines would strain taut and some accident of this pull lifted the head and chest upright so that the figure seemed to peer across the brow of the 10 mountain. Then, each time the wind dropped, the lines would slacken and the figure bow forward again, sinking its head between its knees. So as the stars moved across the sky, the figure sat on the mountain-top and bowed and sank and bowed again. [Chapter 6] 6.7. What sign does the outside world send to the boys?

The number of marks allocated to each question serves as a guide to the expected length of your answer. EXTRACT A Marta was the eldest of my father's children, and she was sixteen years old when 1 our mother died and our father lost the last of his water-cases to old Jan Redlinghuis of Bitterwater. It was the water-case that killed my mother. Many, many times she cried to my father to give in to old Jan Redlinghuis whose water- rights had been fixed by law long before my father built his water-furrow from the 5 Ghamka river. But my father could not rest. If he could but get a fair share of the river-water for his furrow, he would say, his farm of Zeekoegatt would be as rich as the farm of Bitterwater and we should then have a town-house in Platkops dorp and my mother should wear a black cashmere dress all the days of her life. My father could not see that my mother did not care 10 about the black cashmere dress or the town-house in Platkops dorp. My mother was a very gentle woman with a disease of the heart, and all she cared about was to have peace in the house and her children happy around her. And for so long as my father was at law about his water-rights there could be no peace on all the farm of Zeekoegatt. With each new water-case came more bitterness and sorrow to us 15 all. Even between my parents at last came bitterness and sorrow. 9.1 Burget de Jager fought for his fair share of the river-water for his furrow. 9.1.1 Give ONE reason why you think this man is fighting a losing battle.

So it is that God has helped me." 5 At sun-down Marta died, and when they ran to tell Jan Redlinghuis they could not find him. All that night they looked for him, and the next day also. We buried Marta in my mother's grave at Zeekoegatt ... And still they could not find Redlinghuis. Six days they looked for him, and at last they found his body in the mountains. God knows what madness had driven old Jan Redlinghuis to the mountains when his 10 wife lay dying, but there it was they found him, and at Bitterwater he was buried. That night my father came to me and said: 'It is true what you said to me Sukey. It is blood that | have led on my lands to water them, and this night will | close the furrow that | built from the Ghamka river. God forgive me, | will do it.’ It was in my heart to say to him: 'The blood is already so deep in the lands that 15 nothing we can do will now wash it out.'

EXTRACT A He read a lot, but his attention was arrested sometimes, quite suddenly and 1 compellingly, by the sunken place under the rug where his leg used to be. There was his one leg, and next to it, the rug flapped loose. Then looking, he felt his leg not there; he felt it go, slowly, from the toe to the thigh. He felt that he had no leg. After a few minutes he went back to his book. He never let the realisation quite 5 teach him; he let himself realise it physically, but he never quite let it get at him. He felt it pressing up, coming, coming, dark, crushing, ready to burst — but he always turned away, just in time, back to his book. That was his system; that was the way he was to do it. He would let it come near, irresistibly near, again and again, ready to catch him alone in the garden. And again and again he would turn it back, justin 10 time. Slowly it would become a habit, with the reassuring strength of a habit. It would become such a habit never to get to the point of realising it, that he never would realise it. And one day he would find that he had achieved what he wanted: he would feel as if he had always been like that. Then the danger would be over, forever. 15 10.1 Quote a line that indicates that the young man is deliberately denying the fact that he lost a leg. (2) 10.2 The man is using reading as a way of ...

"Yes, she laughed. ‘Only for him it would have to be a kind of little car, with wheels.’ ‘Or maybe he could be taught to use crutches. I'm sure the farmers would like to know that he was being kept active." ‘The poor old thing,’ she said, bending over the locust again. And reaching back somewhere into an inquisitive childhood she picked up a thin wand of twig and prodded the locust, very gently. 'Funny thing is, it's even the same leg, the left one. ‘She looked round at him and smiled. 'l know,' he nodded, laughing. ‘The two of us ...' And then he shook his head and, smiling, said it again: ‘The two of us." She was laughing and just then she flicked the twig more sharply than she meant to and at the touch of it there was a sudden flurried papery whirr, and the locust flew away. She stood there with the stick in her hand, half afraid of the creature again, and appealed, unnerved as a child, 'What happened. What happened.’ There was a moment of silence. ‘Don't be a fool.'

She was dreaming of luxurious dinners with gleaming silver and tapestries peopling the walls with classical figures and exotic birds in a fairy forest; she dreamt of exquisite dishes served on valuable china and whispered compliments listened to with a sphinx-like smile, while toying with the pink flesh of a trout or the wing of a hazel-hen. She had a rich friend, who had been with her at convent school, but she did not like going to see her now; the contrast was so painful when she went home. She spent whole days in tears; misery, regrets, hopeless longings caused her such bitter distress. One evening her husband came home with a broad smile on his face and a large envelope in his hands: 'Look!' he cried. 'Here's something for you, dear!’ She tore open the envelope eagerly and pulled out a printed card with the words: 'The Minister Of Public Instruction and Mme Georges Ramponneau request the honour of the company of M and Mme Loisel at the Ministry on the evening of Monday, January 18".'
