3. Answer the following questions in a paragraph of 100 -150 words each:<\/span><\/p>\n

Question (a)
\nStephen Leacock\u2019s visit to the photo studio turns out to be an annoying experience for him. Discuss citing relevant instances from the story.
\nAnswer:
\nThe author had to wait for an hour and read the magazines like \u201cThe Ladies Companion, Girls\u2019 Magazine and the Infants\u2019 Journal. He had a disturbing feeling that he had done an unwarrantable thing in breaking in on the photographer\u2019s privacy and his scientific pursuits with a face like his. After studying his face for sometime from behind the camera, he said, the face was wrong. He commented that the face would be better three quarters full. Then he held the author\u2019s face making him believe that he was going to kiss it. He twisted the author\u2019s face as far as it would go. He said that he didn\u2019t like the head. He asked him to open the mouth a little and then close it. Then he said that the ears was bad. He suggested that he should droop them a little more. He asked him to roll his eyes under the lids.<\/p>\n

He asked him to turn his face upward a little and keep his hand on the knee. He instructed the author to hump the neck and contract the waist and also twist the hip. It was the last straw when he said that he didn\u2019t quite like his face for, it was just a trifle too full. These numerous instructions and cynical comments about the features of his face annoyed him. He exploded with anger saying that he had lived with the same face for forty years. He even wanted to leave the place without taking the photograph. When he was about to get up, the photographer clicked the button. The photographer looked pleased. He said that he had caught the author in a moment of animation. Thus the experience with the photographer was really annoying.<\/p>\n

\u201cOnce you start to dislike someone, Everything they do begins to annoy you. \u201d<\/p>\n

Question (b)
\n\u201cTo me it is but a worthless bauble.\u201dWhy did the photographer\u2019s touch of technical expertise appear a worthless bauble to Leacock?
\nAnswer:
\nThe author wanted to have himself photographed. The purpose was to leave behind the image or picture of his likeness to his family and relatives. It would remind them of him after he is dead. The photo could reconcile his absence or loss to them. But the phototgrapher had retouched the eyebrows, eyes, mouth etc. All these features did n6t resemble the author. In a depressed mood, the author said his ears were almost the same.<\/p>\n

But the photographer said he could completely replace his ears using a new technique. When the author saw the photo it was technically sound but when it came to likeness, it was a disaster. The purpose of taking the photo was lost. The poet asked the photographer to do all sorts of corrections and keep it with himself and for his friends as a technically sound photo. But for himself it was a worthless bauble. The author broke into tears and left the studio.<\/p>\n

\u201cGod spent a long time crafting you, and God doesn\u2019t make worthless things. \u201d<\/p>\n

Additional Questions<\/span><\/p>\n

Question (a)
\nAttempt a character sketch of the photographer.
\nAnswer:
\nThe photographer was a drooping man in gray coat. He appeared to be a scientist making a study on the faces of people who visit his studio. He wore a serious face all the time. He always looked at the faces of people through his camera. He disapproved of the features of people which did not conform to his estimate of perfect looks. He was proud of his expertise in using various editing skills. He boasted of his skill of removing eyebrows and refixing them artistically. He could correct the mouth, nose and eyes of photos.<\/p>\n

Infact, he had corrected every feature of the author\u2019s face except his ears which carried some resemblance to the original. Even that he offered to replace with better looking ears using sophisticated technique.<\/p>\n

      1. \u201cI want my photograph taken,\u201d I said. The photographer looked at me without enthusiasm. He was a drooping man in a gray suit, with the dim eye of a natural scientist. But there is no need, to describe him. Everybody knows what a photographer is like.
      \n\u201cSit there,\u201d he said, \u201cand wait.\u201d<\/p>\n

      I waited an hour. I read the Ladies Companion for 1912, the Girls Magazine for 1902 and the Infants Journal for 1888. I began to see that I had done an unwarrantable thing in breaking in on the privacy of this man\u2019s scientific pursuits with a face like mine. After an hour the photographer opened the inner door.
      \nCome in,\u201d he said severely.<\/p>\n

      I went into the studio.
      \n\u201cSit down,\u201d said the photographer.<\/p>\n

      \nAnswer:
      \nHe waited for an hour.<\/p>\n

      Question (d)
      \nWhat did the author realized while waiting at the studio?
      \nAnswer:
      \nThe author realized that he had done an unnarratable thing in breaking in on the privacy of the photographer\u2019s scientific pursuits with a face like his.<\/p>\n

      Question (e)
      \nWhy did the photographer make people wait for a long time before taking a photograph?
      \nAnswer:
      \nIn older times, it took enormous time to load a negative into the big camera. They needed time to fix the camera in the right angle and ensured the appropriate lighting for taking the photo. So, the photographers made people wait for a long time.<\/p>\n

      2. \u201cThe face is quite wrong,\u201d he said. \u201cI know,\u201d I answered quietly; \u201cI have always known it.\u201d He sighed. \u201cI think,\u201d he said, \u201cthe face would be better three-quarters full.\u201d \u201cI\u2019m sure it would,\u201d I said enthusiastically, for I was glad to find that the man had such a human side to him. \u201cSo would yours. In fact,\u201d I continued, \u201chow many faces one sees that are apparently hard, narrow, limited, but the minute you get them three-quarters full they get wide, large, almost boundless in-\u201d<\/p>\n

      But the photographer had ceased to listen. He came over and took my head in his hands and twisted it sideways. I thought he meant to kiss me, and I closed my eyes. But I was wrong.<\/p>\n

      \nWhat statement disturbed the author?

      4. \u201cThis face is my face. It is not yours, it is mine. I\u2019ve lived with it for forty years and I know its faults. I know it\u2019s out of drawing. I know it wasn\u2019t made for me, but it\u2019s my face, the only one I have-\u201d I was conscious of a break in my voice but I went on-\u201dsuch as it is, I\u2019ve learned<\/p>\n

      ( to love it. And this is my mouth, not yours. These ears are mine, and if your machine is too narrow-\u201d Here I started to rise from the seat.)<\/p>\n

      Snick! The photographer had pulled a string. The photograph was taken. I could see the machine still staggering from the shock. \u201cI think,\u201d said the photographer, pursing his lips in a pleased smile, \u201cthat I caught the features just in a moment of animation.\u201d \u201cSo!\u201d I said bitingly,- \u201cfeatures, eh? You didn\u2019t think I could animate them, I suppose? But let me see the picture.\u2019\u2019 \u201cOh, there\u2019s nothing to see yet,\u201d he said, \u201cI have to develop the negative first.

      \nAnswer:
      \nThe photographer wanted the author to come to collect the proof on Saturday.<\/p>\n

      5. \u201cFine,\u201d I said, \u201cbut surely my eyebrows are not like that?\u201d \u201cNo,\u201d said the photographer, with a momentary glance at my face, \u201cthe eyebrows are removed. We have a process now-the Delphide-for putting in new ones. You\u2019ll notice here where we\u2019ve applied it to carry the hair away from the brow. I don\u2019t like the hair low on the skull.\u201d<\/p>\n

      \u201cOh, you don\u2019t, don\u2019t you?\u201d I said. \u201cNo,\u201d he went on, \u201cI don\u2019t care for it. I like to get the hair clear back to the superficies and make out a new brow line.\u201d \u201cWhat about the mouth?\u201d I said with a bitterness that was lost on the photographer, \u201cis that mine?\u201d \u201cIt\u2019s adjusted a little,\u201d he said, \u201cyours is too low.

      Question (b)
      \nWhy did the author express scorn while talking to the proud photographer?
      \nAnswer:
      \nThe photographer could not accept the ears resembling those of the author. He offered to remove them completely and fix them anew with the process called sulphide. This infuriated the author so much that he expressed scorn in the words he spoke to the photographer.<\/p>\n

      Question (c)
      \nWhat was the purpose of the author\u2019s visit to the studio?
      \nAnswer:
      \nThe author visited with the purpose of taking a photo, a picture which would look like him.<\/p>\n

      Question (d)
      \nWhat did the author want to do with the photograph he wanted?
      \nAnswer:
      \nThe author wanted to leave his photo with his friends who might keep it after his death to reconcile them to his loss.<\/p>\n

      \nWhy did the author treat the photograph as a bauble?

      \nThe photographer had used all his craftsmanship to correct the eyebrows, mouth and all the. facial features except the ears. The author was shocked to see the photo dissimilar to his look. Except his ears all looked different. The photographer offered to replace his ears using sulphide process. So, the author treated the photo as a worthless bauble and asked the photographer to retain it.<\/p>\n

      With the Photographer About the author.<\/strong><\/p>\n

      \"Samacheer<\/p>\n

      Stephen Leacocok (1869-1944) was a Canadian teacher, political scientist, writer and a humorist. He was the best known English- speaking humorist in the world in the years 1915-1925. He is popular for his light humour and criticism of people’s follies. In his honour \u201cThe Stephen Leacock Memorial Medal for Humour\u2019 has been named. His stories and novels earned him a world wide reputation. He was awarded the \u201cRoyal Society of Canada\u2019s Lome Pierce Medal in 1937. He is still remembered for his satire and witty criticism in his prose writings.<\/p>\n

      With the Photographer Summary<\/h3>\n

      Leacock goes to a photographer to get himself photographed. He waits for an hour. He is called into the inner room. The photographer is a serious man. He is obviously not satisfied with Leacock\u2019s face. He says his face is wrong. He says it should be three quarters full. Leacock talks about different kinds of faces and agrees with the photgrapher\u2019s view. Meanwhile, the photographer withdraws himself behind the camera under a covered cloth. He comes close to Leacock. He holds his face tenderly. Leacock closes his eyes thinking he is going to kiss his face. But the photographer turns his face in many directions to suit the angle from which he is going to shoot him with his static camera. He gives many directions to Leacock as to how he should pose.<\/p>\n

      \"Samacheer<\/p>\n

      Infact his instructiohs, \u201cclose your mouth, droop your ears, turn your face, expand you lungs, raise your hip\u201d annoy Leacock. He is really confused and frightened. He becomes impatient and scolds him for finding fault with his face. It was after all the only face he had lived with for forty years. He is photographed when he is angry and about to get up. The photographer is pleased because he took the photo-when he was animated.<\/p>\n

      He asks Leacock to come again on Saturday to see the proof of his photograph. To the great annoyance of the author, the photographer claimed to have edited his eyebrows and mouth and wanted to edit his ears using some sophisticated techniques. Leacock tells the photographer that he wanted a photo of his likeness so that family members and friends could see the photo and remember him after his death. He is so angry that he asks the photographer to keep the corrected photo and left the studio in tears of humiliation.<\/p>\n
