Model K.C.S.E QUESTIONS WITH ANSWERS FROM A Silent Song and Other Stories
A Silent Song and Other Stories is a collection of short stories from different authors across the globe. As the name suggests, the short story is a form of literary fiction presented as a brief prose tale. The story revolves around a few characters in a single incident in a short time span with a more unified impact than a novel. The length of a short story can be compared to that of watching a single episode or a movie; hence the reading experience can be achieved in one continuous reading culminating in an instant emotional effect. When we compare the kind of action in a sprint and that of a marathon, that is, a short race versus a long race, we can figure out the idea of the short story. While it takes longer to get to the climax in a marathon, it is much quicker in a short story. In a short story, every word counts as the writer employs an economy of words and digs deep to develop a character in a few words and actions. Therefore, it is imperative upon the reader, student or critic of literature to read with a more thoughtful and keener ‘third eye’ to extract the character traits and unravel the subject matter. The student should be able to point out what else is not told by the writer. The short story, like other genres, deliberately mirrors the experiences, situations and events of our day-to-day life. Life is full of theatre, and there is plenty of drama in everyday life. The authors tell a lot in a single tale and show a lot in one scene. Thus, the plot’s brevity and adept form echo the experiences of authentic human existence. For instance, in real-life situations, envy, failure, civil strife, atrocities, sorrow, poverty, unemployment, crime, deceit, prejudice, ignorance, superstition, religion, urbanisation, industrialisation, technology, and perpetual innovation are part of reality. The episodic approach simplifies the analysis by dividing the story into smaller chunks (sub-episodes) to underscore scenic order events. A synopsis for each story in this Study Guide will help simplify the scenes arranged in a thread of causation, turns and twists and emotional effect. Essentially, the student should try to understand the character and the thematic concerns built around each character at each sub-episode in the story
