Q 3- Reference to the context: 5 marks

I finished my poem, and it was beautiful! It was about a mother duck and a father swan with three baby ducklings who were bitten to death by the father because they quacked too much. Luckily, Mr.Keesing took the joke the right way. He read the poem to the class, adding his own comments, and to several other classes as well. Since then I have been allowed to talk and haven’t been assigned any extra homework. On the contrary, Mr. Keesing’s always making jokes these days.

a) Who is ‘I’ here? What did she do?

b) What was it all about?

c) How did this change the whole situation?
