the following poem and answer the questions that follows:
Are
You There?
My
father and I shove back the furniture
to
the four walls of the sitting room
then
lie on the carpet wearing blindfolds,
his
left hand holding my left hand
Are
you there, Moriarty? he enquires, before tightening (I imagine)
the
grip on his rolled-up copy of yesterday's Times.
There
is only one possible answer to that.
I
give it while rolling away to the side but still clasping his hand, still
In
range, and sure enough he manages a direct hit.
Now
it is my turn, but the moment
I
lift my weapon
I
realise there is no reason to continue
I
can tell from his stillness, and the chill and stiffness of his fingers,
he
has been dead for a good while already.

the following passage and answer the questions that follow:
this
sense, one can think of literature less as some inherent quality or set of
qualities displayed by certain kinds of writing all the way from Beowulf to
Virginia Woolf, than as a number of ways in which people relate themselves to
writing. It would not be easy to isolate, from all that t has been variously
called literature, stant set of inherent features. In fact, it would be as
impossible as trying to identify the single distinguishing feature which all
games have in common. There is no 'essence of literature whatsoever. Any bit of
writing may be read "non- pragmatically', if that is what reading a text
as literature means, just as any writing may be read 'poetically. If I pore
over the railway timetable not to discover a train connection but to stimulate
in myself general reflections on the speed and complexity of modern existence,
then I might be said to be reading it as literature) John M. Ellis has argued
that the term 'literature' operates rather like the word "weed: weeds are
not particular kinds of plant, but just any kind of plant which for some reason
or another a gardener does not want around Perhaps 'literature' means something
like the opposite: any kind of writing which for some reason or another
somebody values highly. As the philosophers might say, literature and
"weed' are functional rather than ontological terms: they tell about what
we do, not about the fixed being of things.
Q.96)
