The Pot Maker: Class 9 English Chapter 2 Hinglish mein

Yeh unit hunar bhare haathon se kiye gaye kaam ke baare mein hai. Pehle ek chhoti kahani aati hai, ek ladki ki jo apne parivaar ka pot making ka craft seekhna chahti hai, aur kaise woh aakhir mein seekh leti hai. Phir ek poem un tamaam tarah ke workers ko salaam karti hai jo desh ko chalate rehte hain. Dono texts pehle apni textbook mein padho; yeh companion tumhe unhe samajhne, revise karne aur unke saath aane wale language work ki practice karne mein madad karta hai.

2.1 Before You Read: Skills aur Vocations

Apne aas-paas dekho. Ek tailor ne tumhari uniform silai, ek carpenter ne classroom ka darwaaza lagaya, aur ek potter ne woh matka banaya jo May mein paani thanda rakhta hai. Is tarah ka kaam lambi practice se seekha jaata hai aur aksar parivaaron mein peedhi-dar-peedhi aage badhta hai. Aise skill-based kaam ko vocation (व्यवसाय) kehte hain.

Tumhari textbook mein aise chaar workers dikhaye gaye hain: ek basket maker, ek potter, ek handloom weaver aur ek carpenter. Ek partner ke saath apne area ke paanch aur workers ke naam batao, jaise cobbler, mason ya goldsmith.

2.2 Kahani ko samjho: The Pot Maker

"The Pot Maker" Sentila naam ki ek ladki ki chhoti kahani hai, jo apne parivaar ki auraton ki tarah pots banana chahti hai, aur un logon ki bhi jo uske raaste mein aate hain ya uski madad karte hain. Tumhari textbook iska abridged (chhota kiya hua) version do parts mein deti hai. Kahani upar se shaant hai lekin iski ending bahut strong hai, isliye ise dheere padho aur dekho ki Sentila kaise badalti hai.

Setting. Kahani ek pahadi gaon mein hoti hai jahan pot making maaon se betiyon tak pahunchti hai. Clay ek door ki riverbank se aati hai, aur pots khule mein fire kiye jaate hain. Elders ki ek council gaon ke maamle suljhaati hai, aur ek khaas umar ki ladkiyan ek mahila ki dekhrekh mein ek dormitory mein raatein bitaati hain. Naam aur customs ek Naga gaon ki taraf ishaara karte hain, woh duniya jise Temsula Ao achhe se jaanti thi.

2.2.1 Part I: Ek chhupa sapna

Sentila jab se yaad kar sakti hai, tab se potter banna chahti hai. Uski daadi pots banati thi, aur uski maa Arenla bhi banati hai. Lekin Arenla ne tay kar liya hai ki uski beti weaving karegi. Isliye Sentila apni ichha apne tak rakhti hai, aur jin dinon use ghar par chhoda jaata hai, woh gaon ke sabse achhe potters ke paas jaati hai. Woh apni is utsuk chhoti mehmaan ko dekh kar muskuraate hain, yeh soch kar ki ek-do saal mein iska shauk khatam ho jaayega.

Itni secrecy kyun? Ek raat Sentila ne apni maa ko apne pita Mesoba se kehte suna tha ki pot making kabhi unki beti ko nahi sikhayi jaayegi. Arenla ke kaaran practical hain, aur woh teen groups mein aate hain (Fig. 2.2):

• Kamar-tod mehnat: clay ke liye riverbank tak lamba safar (woh kehti hai, solah kilometre), bhaari bojh ke saath khadi chadhaai, aur ghanton ki kutaai jo use thaka deti hai.
• Lambe intezaar ke baad kam kamaai: ek batch taiyaar hone mein mahine lag jaate hain, aur woh sirf kuch rupaye mein bikta hai.
• Ek behtar option: uski nazar mein weaving zyada kamaati hai, parivaar ko kapde deti hai, saaf-suthri rehti hai aur har mausam mein ghar ke andar chal sakti hai.

Isse Sentila ka mann bilkul nahi badalta. Apni chhupi visits mein woh dekh-dekh kar poora process seekh leti hai. Kahani mein potter's wheel ka koi zikr nahi hai: potters naram clay ke ek lump ko, ek haath uske andar rakh kar, ghumaate hain aur bahar ki shape ek flat spatula se thapthapa kar banate hain, aur Sentila woh lagaataar thap-thap ghanton sun sakti thi. Uske baad finishing, sukhaana aur kiln (भट्ठा) mein firing hoti hai. Firing sabse risky stage hai, kyunki galat garmi ek saath saare pots kharaab kar sakti hai.

Arenla apni beti ke gaayab rehne se dhokha nahi khaati, lekin kuch nahi kehti. Jaldi hi ladki ki visits poore gaon mein charcha ka vishay ban jaati hain, aur gossip chinta mein badal jaati hai: agar potters apni hi betiyon ko sikhaana band kar dein, to aane wale saalon mein pots kaun banayega? Elders Mesoba ko safaai dene ke liye bulaate hain. Soch-samajh kar aur izzat ke saath, woh apni patni ka bachaav karta hai. Woh kehta hai ki koi inkaar nahi hua, bas yeh ichha thi ki ladki pehle ek beemari se theek ho jaaye, aur woh vaada karta hai ki ek din Sentila un sab mein sabse achhi potter banegi.

Elders uska jawaab maan lete hain lekin uske saath ghar ek warning bhejte hain. Unki nazar mein, jo craft poore gaon ke kaam aata hai aur uski yaadein sambhaalta hai, woh expert ki milkiyat nahi hota; woh use sirf amaanat ki tarah rakhti hai. Isliye Arenla ko yeh sikhana hi hoga, Sentila ko bhi aur seekhne ke liye taiyaar kisi bhi aur insaan ko bhi. Mesoba ghar jaakar apni patni se is baare mein baat karta hai.

2.2.2 Part II: Craft seekhna

Lessons agle saal shuru hote hain. Pehle Sentila kaam ka bhaari hissa seekhti hai, riverbank par dao (ek bhaari blade) se grey aur laal clay khodne se lekar use bhigone aur shed mein kootne tak. Woh jaldi seekhti hai, aur jald hi uski clay naram aur taiyaar ho jaati hai.

Shape dene par woh atak jaati hai. Lump uske haathon mein tik kar nahi rehta. Arenla kuch nahi kehti; woh apne kone se dekhti rehti hai aur har baar jab beti haar maan leti hai, chupchaap khud pot bana deti hai. Lagbhag poora ek saal aise hi guzar jaata hai. Sentila ki sharm badhti jaati hai, kyunki jo skill use sabse zyada chahiye, wahi use nahi mil raha.

Madad parivaar ke bahar se aati hai. Jab Sentila kaafi badi ho jaati hai, to local custom ke hisaab se use kuch raatein ladkiyon ki ek dormitory mein bitaani hoti hain, jise ek dayalu widow chalati hai jise ladkiyan Onula, yaani 'Aunty', kehti hain. Onula ko Sentila ke ghar ke jhagde ka pata hai aur woh madad karna chahti hai. Use mauka ek shaam milta hai jab baaki ladkiyan ek music programme mein gayi hoti hain aur Sentila akele apni clay nikaalti hai. Onula turant samajh jaati hai ki gadbad kya hai: ladki itni tension mein hai ki kuch bhi theek nahi ho raha, aur aakhir mein be-shape lump uske thake haathon se gir jaata hai.

Onula ka sikhaana simple hai. Woh ladki ko tasalli deti hai, uske saamne ek pot banati hai aur use phir se koshish karne ko kehti hai. Ab shaant mann se Sentila kaamyaab hoti hai, aur uska pot ek baat chhod kar har tarah se achha hai. Onula use batati hai ki mouth theek nahi hai, aur use seekhne ke liye sahi insaan uski apni maa hai.

Agle session mein Sentila apni maa ke haathon ko pehle se kahin zyada dhyaan se dekhti hai, khaaskar har pot ke upar ke paas: woh wahan haath aur spatula kaise pakadti hai, uski thap-thap kaise dheemi hoti hai, aur woh opening ke chaaron taraf clay ka ek patla roll rim ki tarah kaise lagaati hai. Phir, ek dhoop bhari subah, dono jaldi kaam shuru karti hain, kyunki pots ko sookhne ke liye dhoop chahiye aur achhe din kam hote hain. Arenla apna batch jaldi khatam kar leti hai. Yeh keh kar ki uske sir aur kamar mein dard hai, woh kaam Sentila ko saunp deti hai aur shed se chali jaati hai.

Hairaan aur thodi anichha se, Sentila shuru karti hai. Is baar kuch alag hai. Pehla pot pata chalne se pehle hi ban jaata hai, phir agla, phir uske baad wala; uske haath usi tezi aur bharose se chalte hain jo usne apni maa ke haathon mein dekha tha. Jab woh aakhir mein ginti hai, to uski row Arenla ki row se sirf ek pot chhoti hai. Thak kar woh maa ke saath khaana khaane andar jaati hai aur dekhti hai ki Arenla zameen par bejaan padi hai.

Sentila madad ke liye bhaagti hai; gaon wale aate hain aur Mesoba ko bulaya jaata hai. Agli subah, jab uski maa ka shareer ghar se bahar le jaaya jaata hai, Sentila rote hue maafi maangti uske peeche bhaagti hai. Woh chillaati hai ki woh nahi chahti thi ki sab aise ho; skill bas apne aap aa gaya. Shok manaane wale log uljhan mein hain. Sirf Onula ko lagta hai ki in shabdon ke peeche kuch asaadhaaran hai.

Baad mein work shed ke paas se guzarte hue, Onula dekhti hai ki darwaaza poori tarah band nahi hai aur andar jhaankti hai. Wahan din ka kaam rakha hai: Arenla ka batch aur Sentila ka batch, abhi bhi geele, do lines mein. Woh itne perfectly milte hain ki Onula ek banane wale ke pots ko doosre ke pots se alag nahi pehchaan paati, phir bhi use pakka yakeen hai ki yeh saare pots ek hi jode haathon ne nahi banaye. Woh der tak wahan rukti hai, yeh mehsoos karte hue ki usne kuch adbhut dekha hai. Kahani ek chhoti line par khatam hoti hai jo sab kuch keh deti hai: "A new pot maker was born."

2.3 Characters, Themes aur Message

Kahani mein bas kuch hi characters hain, aur har ek Sentila ke safar ko alag tarah se shape deta hai (Fig. 2.3).

• Sentila: passionate, determined aur observant. Woh ek saal ki naakaami ke baad bhi lagi rehti hai, dekh kar seekhti hai, aur itni sensitive hai ki aakhir mein guilt aur dukh dono mehsoos karti hai. Woh chupke se sapne dekhne wali ladki se ek sachchi potter ban jaati hai.
• Arenla: ek master potter, bhaari kaam aur kam kamaai se thaki hui. Woh apni beti ke liye aasaan zindagi chahti hai. Woh chupchaap apni misaal se sikhati hai, aur aakhri din Sentila ko kaam karne ke liye akela chhod deti hai. Uska pyaar shabdon se zyada kaamon mein dikhta hai.
• Mesoba: vinamr, izzat dene wala aur parivaar ka rakshak. Woh elders ke saamne samajhdaari bhare jawaab se apne parivaar ka bachaav karta hai aur phir apni patni se baat karta hai.
• Onula: dayalu, samajhdaar aur baarik nazar wali. Woh turant dekh leti hai ki ladki itni tense hai ki achha kaam nahi kar sakti, aur aakhir mein sirf wahi Sentila ki pukaar ko samajhti hai.
• Gaon ki council: parampara ki awaaz. Elders maante hain ki community ke crafts aage badhne chahiye, private nahi rakhne chahiye.

2.3.1 Themes

• Passion aur perseverance (लगन): Sentila ka sapna secrecy, ek saal ki naakaami aur sharm ke baad bhi zinda rehta hai.
• Ek traditional skill aage badhaana: elders craft ko community ki saanjhi daulat maante hain, jo experts ko agli peedhi ko deni hi hai.
• Handmade kaam ki izzat aur mushkilein: pot making thakaane wala aur kam kamaai wala kaam hai, phir bhi usmein skill, sundarta aur itihaas hai.
• Maa ka chupchaap pyaar: Arenla kabhi apni beti ki taareef nahi karti, lekin uski misaal, aur shaayad use akela chhodne ka uska faisla, Sentila ko potter banata hai.
• Mentor se seekhna: kabhi-kabhi ek dayalu bahar ka insaan woh dekh leta hai jo parivaar nahi dekh paata.

2.4 Critical Reflection: Kahani

Kahani par exam questions do tarah ke hote hain. Extract-based questions tumhe ek passage dete hain aur inference, cause and effect, character, word meaning aur writer ki choices test karte hain. Answer-type questions 40–120 words mein samjhaane, describe karne ya apni opinion dene ko kehte hain.

• Pehle question padho, phir passage, aur un words ko underline karo jo uska jawaab dete hain.
• Assertion-and-reason question mein check karo ki reason sach mein assertion ko explain karta hai, sirf yeh nahi ki dono sach hain.
• Word-meaning question mein har option ko sentence mein rakh kar dekho; sahi option matlab ko bana kar rakhta hai.
• Lambe answer mein ek point banao, kahani ke kisi event se use support karo, aur batao ki woh kya dikhata hai.

2.5 Context mein Vocabulary aur Structures

Unit ka yeh hissa crafts aur paise se jude words banata hai, aur teen grammar points sikhata hai: noun clauses, relative clauses aur determiners.

2.5.1 Ek craft ke words

Kisi bhi craft ke words teen groups mein aate hain. Tools ya implements woh hain jinse worker kaam karta hai (with). Raw materials woh hain jinse product banta hai (from). Processes kaam ki actions hain, jo aksar -ing words ki tarah likhe jaate hain. Yahan kahani ki pot making vocabulary isi tarah sort ki gayi hai.

2.5.2 Paise aur rozi-roti ke words

Arenla ki shikaayat paise ke words se bhari hai: uski kamaai ek pittance hai, kuch rupaye mein milti hai, aur uski mehnat ka reward ya return kam hai. Har vocation rozi-roti kamaane ka ek zariya bhi hai, isliye economy ke basic words jaanna kaam aata hai. Inhe unke meanings aur examples ke saath seekho.

2.5.3 Noun clauses

Clause words ka ek group hota hai jiska apna subject aur verb hota hai. Main clause akele ek sentence ki tarah khada ho sakta hai. Subordinate clause nahi ho sakta; woh main clause par depend karta hai. Jab subordinate clause ek noun ka kaam karta hai, yaani subject, object ya complement ka, to woh noun clause hota hai.

• Subject ki tarah: What Onula said gave Sentila courage.
• Verb ke object ki tarah: Sentila hoped that she would become a potter.
• Preposition ke object ki tarah: The elders worried about what would happen to the craft.
• Complement ki tarah: The trouble was that the clay kept collapsing.

Quick test: clause ki jagah it ya something rakho. Agar sentence phir bhi theek lagta hai (Sentila hoped something), to tumne noun clause dhoondh liya (Fig. 2.4).

2.5.4 Relative (adjectival) clauses

Relative clause main clause ke kisi noun ya pronoun ko describe karta hai, bilkul ek adjective ki tarah. Yeh aam taur par us noun ke theek baad aata hai aur ek relative word se shuru hota hai.

• who logon ke liye, subject ki tarah: The potters who lived by the river were famous.
• whom logon ke liye, object ki tarah: The widow, whom the girls loved, ran the dormitory.
• whose possession ke liye: Sentila, whose dream was secret, watched every day.
• which cheezon ke liye: The kiln, which was made of hay, burned all night.
• that logon ya cheezon ke liye, bina commas ke: The pot that she made first had a crooked mouth.
• where jagahon ke liye aur when samay ke liye: She remembered the day when her hands found the rhythm.

Commas important hain. Jo clause sirf extra information jodta hai, woh commas ke beech jaata hai (Arenla, who was a master potter, wanted her daughter to weave). Jo clause batata hai ki kaunsa wala, usmein commas nahi hote (The girl who tried hardest was Sentila).

2.5.5 Determiners

Determiner noun se pehle aata hai, aur use describe karne wale kisi bhi adjective se bhi pehle, aur batata hai kaunsa, kiska, kitne ya kitna. her old spatula mein determiner her adjective old se pehle aata hai.

• many / few countable nouns ke saath aate hain (many pots); much / little uncountable nouns ke saath (much clay).
• a few ka matlab hai kuch; few ka matlab hai na ke barabar. Compare karo: She has a few friends (achhi baat) aur She has few friends (akelaapan).
• each aur every ke saath singular noun aata hai (every pot). Either aur neither ka matlab hai do mein se ek.
• Jab baad mein koi noun na ho to wahi word pronoun ban sakta hai: this pot (determiner), this is mine (pronoun).
• Yeh try karo: kahani ka ek page dobara padho aur das determiners ki list banao, un nouns ke saath jinhe woh introduce karte hain. Unhe table ke types mein sort karo.

2.6 Suno, Bolo, Likho aur Explore karo

2.6.1 Suno aur respond karo

Class mein tum ek speaker ko stone statues ke baare mein baat karte sunoge. Recording aur uska transcript tumhare teacher ke paas hai. Pehle tum gaps mein woh exact words bharoge jo tum sunte ho, phir ek lambi list mein se statue carve karne ke asli steps chunoge. Neeche diye tips dono tasks mein madad karte hain.

• Sunne se pehle, gaps padho aur andaaza lagao ki har gap mein kis tarah ka word fit hoga: adjective, noun ya verb.
• Sunte waqt, sirf key words likho; spelling baad mein theek kar sakte ho.
• Kisi process ke liye order words par dhyaan do, jaise first, next, then, after that, finally.
• Kisi step ko tabhi kaato jab speaker saaf taur par use chhod de ya kuch alag kahe.

2.6.2 Speaking: ek role-play

2.6.3 Likhna: reflective writing

Reflective writing andar ki taraf dekhti hai. Tum apne experiences, skills aur ummeedon ke baare mein, aur unse tumne kya seekha, imaandari se sochte ho. Yeh first person (I) mein likhi jaati hai, ek soch-samajh bhari lekin natural awaaz mein, aur yeh beete experiences aur abhi ke thoughts ke beech aati-jaati hai. Ek saaf five-step plan follow karo (Fig. 2.5), aur lagbhag 200–250 words ka target rakho.

2.6.4 Text se aage seekhna

Pottery poore India mein banti hai, aur har region ka apna style hai. Tumhari textbook chhe traditions ke naam deti hai aur unhe pictures se match karne ko kehti hai. Unke baare mein pata karo, aur apne ghar ke paas banne wali kisi bhi pottery ke baare mein bhi. Shuruaat ke liye yahan kuch facts hain.

2.7 Gifts of Grace: Before You Read

Unit ka doosra text ek poem hai, "Gifts of Grace: Honouring Our Vocations". Iska writer anjaan hai (Anonymous). Ise padhne se pehle, workers ke baare mein in riddles se warm up karo, jo is companion ke liye likhi gayi hain. Phir discuss karo ki har worker ek shehar ki zindagi mein kya jodta hai.

Inmein se har worker rozmarra ki zindagi chalaata rehta hai: unki wajah se hamare paas kapde hain, khaana hai, hum jude hain aur cheezein milti hain. Poem hamein aise logon ko notice karne aur unke kaam ki izzat karne ko kehti hai.

2.8 Appreciation ke liye padho: Poem

Poem poore India ke workers ki ek khushi bhari roll-call hai. Yeh lambi, behti lines mein bina rhyme ke likhi gayi hai, aur nau verse paragraphs mein chhapi hai, jinhe hum yahan stanzas 1–9 kehte hain. Kai readers ko yeh Walt Whitman ki "I Hear America Singing" ki yaad dilaati hai, jo bhi kaam karte hue gaate workers ki list deti hai. Speaker utna yeh describe nahi karta ki woh kya dekhta hai, jitna yeh ki woh kya sunta hai: poora desh kaam ke ek festival jaisa sunaayi deta hai (Fig. 2.6).

2.8.1 Stanza by stanza

• Stanza 1. Speaker subject ka elaan karta hai: "I hear Bharat celebrating" apni kai vocations ko. Kaam ko sound ki tarah imagine kiya gaya hai, aur desh khud gaata hua lagta hai.
• Stanza 2. Sabse pehle craftspeople aate hain. Weaving, rang aur anginat shades ki imagery textiles, dyeing aur painting ki taraf ishaara karti hai, aur India ki apni vividhta ki taraf bhi. Har banane wala apne craft mein khush hai.
• Stanza 3. Phir musicians aate hain, jinke stringed instruments un feelings aur ummeedon ko awaaz dete hain jo public jagahon par goonjti hain. Art ko bhi ek vocation ki tarah izzat di gayi hai.
• Stanza 4. Carpenters ki unki "mathematical precision" ke liye taareef hoti hai. Craft ke liye mazboot haathon ke saath ek tez, naap-tol karne wala dimaag bhi chahiye.
• Stanza 5. Electricians, din ki taiyaari karte hue khush, woh wiring sambhaalte hain jo hamare gharon ko roshan karti hai. Unka kaam roshni laata hai, sach mein bhi aur zindagi ko behtar banane ke matlab mein bhi, isliye ek modern trade puraane crafts ke saath khada hai.
• Stanza 6. Boatmen ke din ko kinaare se samundar aur waapas tak dikhaaya gaya hai: fishing, sailing, gaana, aur phir sunaane ke liye kahaniyan. Unke kaam mein risk aur adventure hai, aur yeh storytelling ki ek poori parampara ko khuraak deta hai.
• Stanza 7. Shoemakers ko apni quality par garv hai. Unke joote har jagah jaate hain jahan log jaate hain, kaam, khel aur jashn mein, aur din ke ant mein unhe surakshit waapas le aate hain.
• Stanza 8. Cook, designer aur mason, har koi apne music aur rhythm par kaam karta hai, aur har ek ko apne us skill par garv hai jo sirf uska hai.
• Stanza 9. Poem ka bada idea: insaan ka kaam batata hai ki woh kaun hai. Opening line waapas aati hai, lekin ab speaker voices sunta hai, khud workers ki awaazein.

Mood aur message. Poem shuru se aakhir tak festive lagti hai. Yeh ek cook aur ek carpenter ko bhi utni hi izzat deti hai jitni ek musician ko, aur kehti hai ki har imaandaar vocation desh ke gaane mein ek awaaz jodti hai.

2.9 Poem ki appreciation

2.9.1 Free verse aur lineation

Poem mein koi regular rhyme scheme aur fixed beat nahi hai, isliye yeh free verse (मुक्त छंद) mein likhi gayi hai. Iski lines ki lambaai bahut alag-alag hai, aur kuch poore sentences ki tarah aage chalti jaati hain. Isse poem natural, excited baatcheet jaisi lagti hai, ya kisi lambi list ke jaap jaisi, jo kabhi na rukne waale vyast kaam ki tasveer ke liye bilkul sahi hai.

Phir bhi ek pattern hai. Zyaadatar stanzas ek hi shape follow karte hain: The + workers ka ek group + ek -ing word, jaise the carpenters celebrating ya the electricians humming. Yeh -ing forms abhi chal rahi actions dikhaate hain, aur ek hi shape ko dohraana (parallelism) lambi list ko ek saath baandh kar rakhta hai.

2.9.2 Speaker, tone aur mood

Speaker ek I hai jo poore desh ko sunta hai. Yeh poet ho sakta hai ya koi bhi garv karne wala nagrik; iska kaam workers ko notice karna aur unki taareef karna hai. Tone, yaani speaker ka attitude, celebratory aur reverential (izzat se bhara) hai. Mood, yaani woh feeling jo poem hamare andar jagaati hai, joyful aur lively hai, ek festival jaisa.

2.9.3 Imagery

Imagery (बिंब) woh language hai jo senses ko appeal karti hai. Yeh poem visual images (jinhe hum mann mein dekh sakte hain) aur, usse bhi zyada, auditory images (jinhe hum sun sakte hain) use karti hai (Fig. 2.7).

2.9.4 Metaphor aur personification

Metaphor (रूपक) ek cheez ko aise describe karta hai jaise woh koi doosri cheez ho, bina like ya as ke. Cook ki "delicious singing" ek metaphor hai. Singing ko chakha nahi ja sakta, lekin use delicious kehna batata hai ki cook ka kaam itna achha lagta hai ki uski awaazein, chhank aur kaatne ki khat-khat, ek aise gaane jaisi hain jise hum lagbhag chakh sakte hain. Is tarah senses ko milaana kabhi-kabhi synaesthesia kehlaata hai.

Personification (मानवीकरण) kisi non-human cheez ko insaani qualities deta hai. Bharat khud celebrate karta hai, jaise desh kisi festival mein shaamil ek insaan ho. Aakhri stanza mein ek vocation ki apni awaaz bhi hai, jo poem mein personification ka sabse saaf example hai.

2.9.5 Repetition aur alliteration

Poem lagbhag ek hi line se shuru aur khatam hoti hai. Yeh repetition ek frame ya refrain ki tarah kaam karta hai: isse poem poori aur gaane jaisi lagti hai, aur yeh apne kaam ka jashn manaate poore desh ke central idea par zor deta hai. Aakhir ka chhota sa badlaav, vocations se voices, dikhata hai ki kaam aur worker ek ho gaye hain.

Alliteration (अनुप्रास) paas-paas ke words ki shuruaat mein ek hi consonant sound ka dohraav hai. Pehli line mein saath-saath do v-words suno, boatmen ke sail aur sing karte waqt s-sounds, aur electricians ke wires ke saath work karte waqt w-sounds. Yeh sounds music jodte hain, jo sunne ke baare mein likhi poem ke liye bilkul sahi hai.

2.9.6 Symbolism

Symbol (प्रतीक) woh cheez hai jo kisi bade idea ko represent karti hai. Poem mein har vocation ek job se zyada hai: yeh skill, izzat aur community mein insaan ki jagah ko represent karti hai. Electricians ki roshni progress ki taraf ishaara karti hai, boatmen ki kahaniyan himmat aur yaadon ki taraf, aur hamein ghar le jaane wale joote zindagi ke safar aur apnepan ki taraf. Saath milkar workers India ki unity in diversity ko represent karte hain.

2.10 Critical Reflection: Poem

Kahani ki tarah, poem ke questions bhi tumhe kisi stanza tak le ja sakte hain ya lamba answer maang sakte hain. Poetry answers mein hamesha device ka naam lo aur phir batao ki reader par uska kya effect hota hai.

2.11 Words, Listening, Speaking aur Writing

2.11.1 Vocations ke words

Poem kai workers ke naam leti hai. Tumhari textbook aur bhi vocation words deti hai; inhe in cards ke saath seekho.

2.11.2 Synonyms

Synonyms woh words hain jinka matlab lagbhag ek jaisa hota hai, jaise varied aur diverse. Woh kabhi bilkul ek jaise nahi hote, isliye context mein jo fit ho woh chuno. Odd-one-out task test karta hai ki kya tum woh word pehchaan sakte ho jo group ka nahi hai, jo aksar chhupa hua antonym hota hai.

2.11.3 Suno aur respond karo

Class mein tum do doston ko apne parents ke jobs ke baare mein baat karte sunoge, aur tumse poochha jaayega ki speaker kya kehta hai aur saath hi woh kaisa feel karta hai. Attitude par dhyaan do: hichkichaahat (well…, I suppose) shak dikhati hai, upar uthti, excited awaaz khushi ya achaanak samajh aane ko dikhati hai, aur what if ya I'd love to jaise words ek ichha dikhaate hain.

2.11.4 Speaking: vocations ki awaazein

2.11.5 Writing: ek poster

Poster kisi event ki ghoshna karta hai aur use kuch hi seconds mein dhyaan kheenchna hota hai. Ise ek box mein rakha jaata hai aur ismein bade aur chhote letters, saaf spacing aur lagbhag 50 se zyada words nahi hote. Organiser, event ka naam aur purpose, date, time aur venue, kuch highlights, ek slogan aur entry ya contact details shaamil karo (Fig. 2.8).

2.12 Text se aage seekhna

2.12.1 Ek haiku likho

Haiku Japan ki ek bahut chhoti poem hai. Traditional haiku mein teen lines hoti hain jinmein 5, 7 aur 5 syllables hote hain, kul 17 (Fig. 2.9). Yeh aam taur par ek chhote se pal ko pakadta hai, aksar nature se, aur ismein rhyme zaroori nahi hai. Likhte waqt har word ke syllables taali bajaakar gino. Yahan ek young potter ke baare mein ek haiku hai:

• Red clay from the bank (5)
• a girl taps and turns the lump (7)
• slowly, a pot wakes (5)
