POEM-6 THE TRAGIC STORY
By W.M.Thackeray
(Page-87)
MAIN TEACHING:

Oral and explanation online with some written work.

1. Explain the poem.

The poem ‘A tragic story’ written by William Makepeace Thackeray is a humorous poem which revolves around a foolish act done by a sage. Throughout the poem, the poet laughs at this wise man, who does not have any practical knowledge, but uses his theatrical knowledge and does foolish things. The poet narrates us about a sage, who lived in the past with a beautiful pigtail. He was worried about his pigtail, being hung behind him. He thought about this for a long time and swore that he would change the pigtail’s place, which is apparently impossible and funny. He would like to have it at his face and not dangling there behind him. This small thing is a serious problem for this wise man. He said that he had found a solution to change the position of his pigtail. So he turned him round continuously without stopping, throughout the day. He turned in different directions – he turned right and left, out and in, up and down. But the pigtail didn’t change a bit. Though his efforts were not slackened, and though he twisted, twirled and tacked, his pigtail hung faithfully and steadily behind him. 

Thus, this poem is amusing and the poet brings out the theme “How learned man lack practical common sense.”

CHAPTER-3
PRONOUNS I: GENERAL 
(Page-16)

A pronoun is a word that is used instead of a noun that has already been mentioned or is already known.
1. Note that all nouns, whether common or proper, are replaced with he, she, it or they, depending on whether the gender of the noun you want to replace with a pronoun is masculine, feminine, common or neuter and 
whether the noun is singular or plural in number. 
So, when you replace a noun with a pronoun, you must look at: 
(i) the gender of the noun
 A noun of the masculine gender must be replaced with he.
 A noun of the feminine gender must be replaced with she. 
 A noun of the neuter gender is usually replaced with it.
 A noun of the common gender may be replaced with he/she as required. 
(ii) the number of the noun to be replaced—singular or plural
 A singular noun must be replaced with a singular pronoun—he/she/it.
 A plural noun must be replaced with a plural pronoun—they.
 (a) Jeet said that Jeet had finished reading the book Jeet had bought last week.
 (b) Salim and Karan were going home when Salim and Karan met Jeet.
The above sentences may be rewritten by using pronouns:
 (c) Jeet said that he had finished reading the book he had bought last week.
 (d) Salim and Karan were going home when they met Jeet.

(Page-17)
2. Remember that since a pronoun is used instead of a noun that has already 
been mentioned or is already known, we must be careful in using a pronoun. 
Otherwise, there may be confusion.
For example:
(e) Jeet told Salim that he had not been chosen to play for the school team.
Usually, when a pronoun is used instead of a noun, the pronoun refers to the 
noun last mentioned. So, in (e) he should refer to Salim. But, even then, some 
confusion remains, for we are not sure who he refers to: Jeet or Salim.
You must not write sentences like this. Where necessary, you must use a noun 
again to make it absolutely clear as to what you want to say. So, depending on 
who he refers to in (e), the sentence should read:
(f) Jeet told Salim that Jeet had not been chosen to play for the school team. 
or
(g) Jeet told Salim that Salim had not been chosen to play for the school team.

3. When we want to use a pronoun instead of a noun in a sentence, we sometimes 
have to replace not only the noun, but other words as well:
(h) Vinod took out his book and started reading the book. 
When we rewrite the sentence using a pronoun, we get: 
(i) Vinod took out his book and started reading it.
The pronoun it has replaced two words: the book, that is, not only a noun (book), 
but also the definite article, the. 
Take another example:
(j) Once Hari and Govinda were great friends, but now Hari 
and Govinda do not speak to each other.
Rewritten, this sentence becomes:
(k) Once Hari and Govinda were great friends, but now they do not speak to each other.
The pronoun they has replaced three words: Hari and Govinda, that is, two proper nouns (Hari, Govinda) and the conjunction, and.It is clear, therefore, that sometimes in replacing nouns with pronouns, we have to leave out other words as well. A sentence thus becomes simpler and shorter.
