SECTION B: Question 1
MR NOBODY
I know a funny little man, As quiet as a mouse, Who does the mischief that is done In everybodys house! Theres no one ever sees his face, And yet we all agree That every plate we break was cracked By Mr. Nobody. Tis he who always tears our books, Who leaves the door ajar, He pulls the buttons from our shirts, And scatters pins afar; That squeaking door will always squeak, For, prithee, dont you see, We leave the oiling to be done By Mr Nobody.

Describe one main character in the story. Write why you like or dislike the character . Provide evidence from the text to support your answer. In the story Black Beauty, I like Black Beauty he is a very good friend. At Birtwick Park, he befriends Ginger though she is not very friendly with him when they first meet. They become good friends and he always advises Ginger not to anger their masters. Several years later, when they meet again in C2 London, he does not forget Ginger. Black Beauty is also very loyal to all his owners. When Mrs Gordon is ill, he races back to the farm immediately though he is tired and help saves Mrs Gordons life .In London, he is loyal to Jerry and works hard though he is bothered by the busy city and has to work in the cold, wet winter on slippery streets. Those are the reason why I like Black Beauty.
C1
Describe one main character in the story. Write why you like or dislike the character . Provide evidence from the text to support your answer. C1 In the story The Railway Children, I like Peter because he is very courageous.. Peter shows great courage when he suggests to Bobbie and Phyllis to enter the dark tunnel to search for the boy in a red shirt. He also suggests that if a train comes they should stand flat againstC2 the wall. Peter is also very adventurous. This can be seen on their last night in the house when Peter has to sleep on the floor, which he enjoys very much. When they first arrive at their new house, it is Peter who asks them to visit the railway station because he is very excited to see it. Peter is my favourite character because I wish I could be as courageous and adventurous as him so that I can help others in distress
Moral Value
The lady at Earshall Park insists that the checkreins be used to make the horses look presentable. Black Beauty is in a lot of pain when he has to wear the checkreins. His neck and chest ache but the mistress does not care. the kind gentleman who has taken action by reporting the cruelty of a cab master toward his horse should be taken as an example. He knows that it is wrong to be cruel to animals .
