10 SECTION B ESSAY Direction: Read the essay given below carefully. From the two sets of questions on this text, choose ONE SET and write your responses in the space provided. The Mirror On a trip to Greece, Robert Fulghum attends a seminar given by Alexander Papaderos, a philosopher, teacher, and politician. Dr. Papaderos runs an institute dedicated to human understanding and peace, and especially to healing the rift between Cretans and Germans caused by World War II. The institute is located on the island of Crete, where during the war the populations of whole villages on the island were lined up and shot by Nazi troops. At the end of the war, Papaderos came to believe that Germans and Cretans had much to learn from one another. If they could forgive each other and construct a creative relationship, then any people could. Papaderos succeeded and the institute became a reality. During a session at the institute, Fulghum asks a profound question. Dr. Papaderos, what is the meaning of life? The usual laughter followed, and people stirred to go. Papaderos held up his hand and stilled the room and looked at me for a long time, asking with his eyes if I was serious and seeing from my eyes that I was. I will answer your question. Taking his wallet out of his hip pocket, he fished into a leather billfold and brought out a very small round mirror, about the size of a quarter. And what he said went like this. When I was a small child, during the war, we were very poor and we lived in a remote village. One day, on the road, I found the broken pieces of a mirror. A German motor cycle had been wrecked in that place. I tried to find all the pieces and put them together, but it was not possible, so I kept only the largest piece. This one, and, by scratching it on a stone, I made it round. I began to play with it as a toy and became fascinated by the fact that I could reflect light into dark places where the sun would never shine- in deep holes and crevices and dark closets. It became a game for me to get light into the most inaccessible places I could find. BCSE/EngII/2010 Page 10 of 32
11 I kept the little mirror, and, as I went about my growing up, I would take it out in idle moments and continue the challenge of the game. As I became a man, I grew to understand that this was not just a child s game but a metaphor for what I might do with my life. I came to understand that I am not the light or the source of light. But light- truth, understanding, knowledge- is there, and it will shine in many dark places only if I reflect it. I am a fragment of a mirror whose whole design and shape I do not know. Nevertheless, with what I have I can reflect light into the dark places of this world- into the black places in the hearts of men- and change some things in some people. Perhaps others may see and do likewise. This is what I am about. This is the meaning of my life. Robert Fulghum, Passages, 2001 SET I Question 1a. Each question below is followed by four responses. Choose the correct answer or response that best fits the given question and write it in the space provided. [1x5=5] 1.
