3. “The diary of Anne Frank” clearly describes the teacher-student relationship, class atmosphere and discipline. Anne who talks a lot in the class gets punished by Mr Keesing her Maths teacher. He asks her to write essays as punishment which is learning in disguise because he wanted her to focus on studies. He cannot be blamed for the punishment as he did it for the development of Anne. The teacher-student relationship is very respectful and sacred. It is about discipline and classroom manners which are essential for every student as well as teacher, otherwise both teaching or learning could hamper. This relationship is clearly shown in Mr Keesing and Anne Frank actions as they both try to joke on each other but in very humorous and healthy manner. So this healthy relationship is needed everywhere in the class for effective teaching and learning.

10. The title is justified as the entire story revolved around the dog, Tricki, and his illness. The small dog was very much pampered by his mistress, Mrs. Pumphrey. She often overfed him and this led to some serious illness. Mr. Herriot, the veterinary surgeon, helped Triki by giving him plenty of water and no medicines and no food. At last, Triki recovered and was back with Mrs. Pumphrey. She was very happy and in her excitement said that it was a triumph of surgery.
