Question

Group - E Write a substance of the following passage, and add a critical note. 10+8 I was the middle child of three, but there was a gap of five years of either side, and I barely saw my father before I was eight. For this and other reasons I was somewhat lonely, and I soon developed disagreeable mannerisms which made me unpopular throughout my school days. I had the lonely child's habit of making up stories and holding conversations with imaginary persons, and I think from the very start my literary ambitions were mixed up with the feeling of being isolated and undervalued. I knew that I had a facility with words and a power of facing unpleasant facts and I felt that this created a sort of private world in which I could get my own back for my failure in everyday life. Nevertheless, the volume of serious— i.e. seriously intended — writing which I produced all through my childhood and boyhood would not amount to half a dozen pages. I wrote my first poem at the age of four or five, my mother taking it down to dictation. I cannot remember anything about it except that it was about a tiger, and the tiger had 'chair-like teeth'— a good enough phrase, but I fancy the poem was a plagiarism of Blake's “Tiger-Tiger”. At eleven, when the war of 1914-18 broke out, I wrote a patriotic poem, which was printed in the local newspaper, as was another, two years later, on the death of Kitchener. From time to time, when I was a bit older, I wrote bad and usually unfinished ‘nature poems', in the Georgian style. I also attempted a short story which was a ghastly failure. That was the total of the would be serious work that I actually set down on paper during all those years.​
