rhyming. scheme of remarkable rocket class 8 English image
Answers
Answer:
In a European kingdom, a young Prince is about to be married to a young Princess, and the whole Court is brimming with anticipation. At the wedding, the King plays the flute, which he is terrible at, though he believes he is wonderful since none of his subjects ever have the courage to do anything but cheer when he plays. The Princess has never seen fireworks, so the King orders that a display of them be set off as the finale.
The fireworks, having been prepared and arranged by the Royal Pyrotechnist, begin having a conversation amongst themselves. All of the fireworks act haughtily, bickering amongst themselves over the size of the world and the death of romance. A tall, “supercilious-looking” Rocket coughs sharply, as he always does, to draw attention to himself before making his introduction. He speaks with great self-seriousness, expressing his belief that he is the most significant being in the world and reflecting on how lucky the Prince is that he should be married on the day that the Rocket is to be set off. Even though the other fireworks contradict him, insisting that certainly it is the fireworks who are being set off to honor the royal wedding and not the other way around, the Rocket is defiant. He boasts about his remarkable lineage, ponders how terribly interesting he is, and praises himself for his highly sensitive nature, which he believes makes him quite extraordinary. The rest of the fireworks listen, but do not take the Rocket seriously, though this fact eludes him. As the Rocket is monologuing about his great friendship for the Prince (despite the fact that he has never met him) and how great a tragedy it would be for the whole world if any harm ever befell the Rocket, he begins to cry. A pair of fireworks offer him the common sense warning that he should be careful not to wet himself since it will prevent his gunpowder from lighting, the Rocket angrily rejects their advice because, in his words, he is “utterly uncommon.” The other fireworks keep bickering with the Rocket and his tears flow down, soaking himself.
