Answer:
The answer to this question is A Politely
Explanation:
The question is from passage from 'Standing up for yourself'
The present essay gives a poetic description of the author's beloved encounter with a hoodlum while as a boy he was living in Moscow. The author injects realism in his narration of the incident.
The essay begins with the author's description of his divorced parents. Their divorce drove him into the street. His life started in the street. It became his home. He found his world in it. He describes his life in the street in a lighter vein. It was in the street that he swore and smoked. Here he learnt the spirit of fearlessness.
The author gives a vivid account of the ruler of the street. A boy about sixteen nicknamed Red was the hero of the street. He was a picture of panic to all. He was walking up and down the street careless of the people around him. His wide legs, fiery forelock and green eyes dominated the street. He was always moving with two or three lieutenants. Red was a ruffian. His lieutenants could stop any boy unhesitatingly and empty out his pocket
He again saw Red and torn by panic, he quickly escaped his notice. A sense of shame and cowardice overwhelmed him. He mustered courage. Fierce determination stared him in the face, He would defeat Red come what may. It was a challenge to him. He took to training with parallel bars and weights. He also remembered the Japanese method of wrestling which he had read in a book. He had to barter his ration card for a text-book on ju-jitsu which deals with the Japanese art of self-defense. He was engrossed in practicing this art with his friends for three weeks. He was filled with renewed confidence. He went out to meet the challenge of his life.
The incident still clings to the author's memory. His encounter with the monarch of the street taught him a lesson. One can easily overcome the fear of the strong, and the secret to beat them is to master the Japanese art of self-defense. Another lesson which he learnt was that to be a poet one need not only write poems, but to support its essence.
