The Wonderful Wizard of Oz

Passage A
When Dorothy stood in the doorway and looked around, she could see nothing but the great gray prairie on every side. Not a tree nor a house broke the broad sweep of flat country that reached to the edge of the sky in all directions. The sun had baked the plowed land into a gray mass, with little cracks running through it. Even the grass
was not green, for the sun had burned the tops of the long blades until they were the same gray color to be seen everywhere. Once the house had been painted, but the sun blistered the paint and the rains washed it away, and now the house was as dull and gray as everything else.

Passage B
The road was smooth and well paved, now, and the country about was beautiful, so that the travelers rejoiced in leaving the forest far behind, and with it the many dangers they had met in its gloomy shades. Once more they could see fences built beside the road; but these were painted green, and when they came to a small house, in which a farmer evidently lived, that also was painted green.
They passed by several of these houses during the afternoon, and sometimes people came to the doors and looked at them as if they would like to ask questions; but no one came near them nor spoke to them because of the great Lion, of which they were very much afraid. The people were all dressed in clothing of lovely emerald-green color and wore peaked hats like those of the Munchkins.

Questions :
1- What is the most common color of the area around Dorothy’s home?
2-What is the most common color of the surroundings in this passage?
3-What do you think the author is trying to say about the differences in these two places?

Read the myth below and answer the question that follows.



Woman was not yet made. The story (absurd enough!) is that Jupiter made her, and sent her to Prometheus and his brother, to punish them for their presumption in stealing fire from heaven; and man, for accepting the gift. The first woman was named Pandora. She was made in heaven, every god contributing something to perfect her. Venus gave her beauty, Mercury persuasion, Apollo music, etc. Thus equipped, she was conveyed to earth, and presented to Epimetheus, who gladly accepted her, though cautioned by his brother to beware of Jupiter and his gifts. Epimetheus had in his house a jar, in which were kept certain noxious articles, for which, in fitting man for his new abode, he had had no occasion. Pandora was seized with an eager curiosity to know what this jar contained; and one day she slipped off the cover and looked in. Forthwith there escaped a multitude of plagues for hapless man,—such as gout, rheumatism, and colic for his body, and envy, spite, and revenge for his mind,—and scattered themselves far and wide. Pandora hastened to replace the lid! but, alas! the whole contents of the jar had escaped, one thing only excepted, which lay at the bottom, and that was hope. So we see at this day, whatever evils are abroad, hope never entirely leaves us; and while we have that, no amount of other ills can make us completely wretched.

My essays were the epitome of good work and they would be read to the
whole class. I was probably proud of myself, even though I didn't really give it
any serious thought. Somehow, my academic success did not do much for my
confidence or give me any self love. I thought I was very ugly and the fact
that my hair was so hard to manage did not make things easier. I used to
describe it as dry grass in winter. After a while, I even stopped combing it. I'd
wash it and dry it, get dressed in my black skirt and white shirt, which were
not as nice as those of the other girls, and off I'd go to school. To top it all,
had knock-knees and big feetil I was just so ugly and awkward I hated
myself. And, my God - I sat in the front desk! Miss-ugly-top-of-the-class.
Our school was one of the blggest high schools in the Eastern Cape and
we had a great school choir that simply collected trophies. I remember
Bulelwa's voice every time I think of our choir. I used to close my eyes and
enjoy listening to her sing. I don't know how many times I wished I had a tape
recorder so that I could tape her voice and have the pleasure of listening to
her for the rest of my life. I must say, I felt great on those rare afternoons
when Bulelwa would come and study with me under the black wattle tree near
the teachers' cottages. I loved that spot. And I also remember that Bulelwa
would stand by me when some of the girls in dormitory teased me about boys.
