Answer:

This unit is conceived on the basis of the issue domain 'Lack of Human Resource

Development'. It consists of four literary pieces - two stories and two poems all of

which have a thematic link. The short story 'The Man who Knew too Much' takes us

to the world of soldiers and points out what qualities other than hard work do we

need for success in life. The learners are expected to acquire concepts related to soft

skills, interpersonal skills etc. through the transaction of the story. The story for Extended

Reading 'The Resignation' by Premchand is a real extension of the theme, ‘dignity in

work place’. It tells us about the employer-employee relationship and how far the

employee is bound to the employer. The poem for detailed study 'I am the People, the

Mob' by Carl Sandburg praises people as the makers of human civilization. 'Follower'

by Seamus Heaney included in the Extended Reading section is a poem which describes

the transfer of work skills and the resultant cultural legacy from generation to

generation in an agrarian background.
