Once upon a time there lived a hare. He was a lazy animal but a clever one. He was the same hare who had lost the 'slow and steady race to the tortoise. He was also the same hare who was responsible for getting the lion to jump into the well and drown on hearing his own roar. After that incident, the hare had been declared the king of the forest. Since he was so lazy, he made the tortoise his assistant because he had learnt his lesson to take things slow and steady However, there was one animal that was worrying the hare.

DIRECTIONS: Read the given passage and answer the questions that follow by selecting the most appropriate option: Why do poets use poems to tell about social injustices? The answer is simple. This way a poet can catch and hold the reader's attention, his/her emotions. Usually poets in their works present facts in order to capture attention of many people. These are not new facts that are presented to an audience. Poems are always aimed at reaching feelings of people and, thus, pulling strings. Literature of every state shows all the complexity of every epoch. When the situation is the same at several countries, it has a worldwide significance. Before talking about poetry, we should answer the question: What is poetry? Poetry is a special way of describing situations, things, ideas, feelings. Poets present their ideas in short phrases. A poem can be compared to a photograph as it reflects real life, real situations and feelings. In a poem a poet captures the exact moment and represents it the way he/she has seen it. When you read a poem you see the poet's subjective evaluation of facts, situations and the epoch in general. Poets of the Romantic Movement wrote their poems to share their feelings. They wrote to help people understand their time from the poet's point of view. The meaning of the word 'epoch' is a

He was a painter, a sculptor, an architect as well as a poet. When he was 12 years old, Michelangelo began to learn to paint as an apprentice to the most popular painter in Florence. Before he completed his apprenticeship, he stopped painting and began to work as a sculptor at the age of 16. This was the beginning of a new life for Michelangelo when he began to create amazing paintings and sculptures. Among the most famous of his works is the painting on the ceiling of the Sistine Chapel. His paintings show the history of the world according to the Bible. It was not painting on the high ceilings that was difficult but also the technique that Michelangelo used. Pie had to paint the damp ceiling on which plaster had been freshly laid and complete the section before the paint dried out. He worked standing in an upright position for many hours at end and often complained of a stiff neck and of paint dripping in his eyes. Michelangelo also designed the Medici Chapel. In it, he sculpted two tombs for two princes of Florence. He moved out of Florence before he completed the Chapel. In his old age, Michelangelo wrote some of his finest poetry.
