Give reasons for your answer.<br \/>\nAnswer:<br \/>\nI think the atmosphere of Mr Purcell\u2019s shop was depressing because the various animals that were inside the cages kept squealing, twittering and squeaking constantly. These animals were kept on display as if they were things of show, and perhaps they were making so much noise just to be let out of their cages.<\/p>\n<p>The stranger who came to the pet shop was wearing shiny shoes that squeaked. His suit was cheap, ill-fitting but looked new. He had a shuttling glance and close-cropped hair. The man wanted to buy something in a cage.<\/p>\n<p>Question 2.<br \/>\ni. The man insisted on buying the doves because he was fond of birds. Do you agree?<br \/>\nAnswer:<br \/>\nNo, the man was not fond of the birds. It did not matter to the man whether he was buying doves or any other bird. All he knew was that he wanted to buy birds that were in a cage. It was only when he looked at the doves in the cage that he got the idea to buy them.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/mcq-questions.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/NCERT-Solutions.png?resize=180%2C18&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"NCERT Solutions for Class 7 English An Alien Hand Chapter 6 I Want Something in a Cage\" width=\"180\" height=\"18\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><\/p>\n<p>ii. How had he earned the five dollars he had?<br \/>\nAnswer:<br \/>\nHe had earned the five dollars he had by spending ten years in the prison. He had to put in really hard labour to earn these five dollars &#8211; that is, fifty cents a year.<\/p>\n<p>Question 3.<br \/>\nWas the customer interested in the care and feeding of the doves he had bought? If not, why?<br \/>\nAnswer:<br \/>\nNo, the customer was not interested in the care and feeding of the doves he had bought, because he didn\u2019t need to. He had something even more valuable to offer them. The man wanted to free the birds right after he had bought them.<\/p>\n<p><strong>I Want Something in a Cage Exercises Question and Answer\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Discuss the following topics in groups.<\/p>\n<p>Question 1.<br \/>\nWhy, in your opinion, did the man set the doves free?<br \/>\n(Encourage the students to express their opinions clearly in groups.)<br \/>\nAnswer:<br \/>\nI believe that the man set the doves free because he had begun to understand the real value of freedom after spending ten years in prison. He knew what it felt to be imprisoned and not have the liberty to spread your wings far and wide. He wanted the birds to take their new flight to freedom. He gave the birds what he himself valued the most.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/mcq-questions.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/NCERT-Solutions.png?resize=180%2C18&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"NCERT Solutions for Class 7 English An Alien Hand Chapter 6 I Want Something in a Cage\" width=\"180\" height=\"18\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Question 2.<br \/>\nWhy did it make Mr Purcell feel \u201cvaguely insulted\u2019\u2019?<br \/>\nAnswer:<br \/>\nMr Purcell felt \u201cvaguely insulted\u201d because he was making money by selling the caged birds and other animals. And here was a man who was willing to give up all his hard-earned money of ten years to buy the birds their freedom. Mr Purcell must have felt very small in comparison to the man. His actions made him think and realize the inherent cruelty of his profession.<\/p>\n<p>In other words, while Mr Purcell was taking away the animals\u2019 right to live freely, here was a man who was ready to give away everything he owned just so he could give the birds back their right.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>NCERT Solutions for Class 7 English I Want Something in a Cage NCERT Solutions for Class 7 English An Alien Hand Chapter 6 I Want Something in a Cage NCERT Text Book Questions and Answers I Want Something in a Cage Comprehension check &#8211; I Question 1.
