She and her friend, G try to prevent the students from making noise, but to no avail.

Anne recalls how the maths professor is consistently irritated by her talkativeness. While talking in his classes he gives her extra homework as punishment. the primary punishment is to write down an essay on “Chatterbox”, which the author thinks as weird. She imagines about the subject and decides to present concrete arguments in support of talking. She writes that she is going to attempt to better herself but cannot eliminate talking completely. The professor finds it amusing but allots another topic after she didn’t change her nature.
The topic is An incorrigible chatterbox which refers to a habit that’s difficult to vary . After keeping an eye fixed on her, the professor gives her another topic, Quack, Quack, Quack, Said Mistress Chatterbox, as a punishment. She runs out of thought after writing twice on an identical topic. She decides to write down her third topic within the sort of a poem and writes a satire and fortunately the professor takes it lightly. The professor recites the whole poem in front of class and therefore the author talked uninterruptedly after this in his class.

“A Long to Freedom”, by Mandela is all about the struggle for freedom in South-Africa. On May 10, 1994, Mandela has taken the vow because the first black president of South Africa and thus it had been becoming a new-born democratic country. Also Mandela took the oath as the first black president.
Many dignitaries from different countries had come to be a part of the significant day. In his speech, Mandela thanked all those dignitaries. Mandela assured his countrymen that his country would never ever experience those suppression of one by another in the future. Democracy had been established in South Africa and as a result, a government having no discrimination was established.
The people of South Africa sang two National Anthems as a logo/symbol of that day. Mandela recalled that the only reason for this movement was that Black-skinned people were exploited by the White race . He said that this sort of suppression of individuals of South Africa is that the origin of the many stars. People must learn to hate first, because if they hate then they can also be taught to love, as love comes from the other circumstances. He said “a brave man isn’t that who doesn’t feel afraid but who conquers it”.
In life, a person has two major obligations. First towards his family, to his parents, to his wife and to his children and second on the opposite hand obligation towards his country, people and the community. All the people fulfills his duty as per his inclination and interest. But it had been very tough to fulfill during a country like South Africa. When Mandela became an adult then he understood that his freedom was only an illusion. In fact, he was the slave of exploitation. He also understood that not only he was a slave but his other family members and friends were also.
According to Mandela, Freedom is also mandatory for those who were suppressing others within the past. They even had the right to have it because snatcher of other’s freedom is a prisoner of himself as well. Thus, the oppressor is as much a prisoner as much he oppressed. The oppressor too isn’t free.

Lencho had his house in the valley. From there he could see the fields and the river. He was a poor and the hardworking farmer. He had a good crop but it needed a good downpour to get yield.
Lencho saw the sky in the north-east. The air was fresh and sweet. He went out to feel the rain on his body. Lencho said that the drops of rain were new coins. He was therefore very satisfied that time. But suddenly a strong wind began to blow and the rain changed in a hail storm. His crop was totally destroyed. Lencho became sad and he felt that they would go hunger that year because he had no seeds for the next crop.
He had strong faith in God and that’s why he didn’t lose hope. He decided to write a letter to God to send him 100 pesos. An employee of the post office showed his letter to the postmaster. Postmaster laughed seeing the address but after reading the letter he found that the writer needed money. He asked all his friends and employee to give some money to keep the faith of writer.
The postmaster could collect 70 pesos only. He put the money in envelope and addressed it to Lencho. Hewrote a single word on it ‘God‘ as a signature.
Lencho received the money but there was only 70 pesos but he had asked for 100 pesos. He felt angry thinking that the people in the post office are crooks and they had stolen the rest of money. So, he wrote another letter to God, instructing him to send money directly to him, not through the post office.
