Long Answer Type
Question 1.
Not only in Pearson’s family, but in most families mothers are taken for granted. They do all
work and get no respect. Based on your reading of the story, write a paragraph on the topic:
‘The Need to Respect Mothers.’
Answer:
“Mom; why do you make the same old food every day?”
“Hey’Mom, couldn’t you iron my clothes?”
“I feel you are partial to your youngest, my naughty brother.”
Such comments are commonplace in families. Like the prime minister of a country, the
mother is held responsible for all big and small matters. There is very little appreciation of
the woman who works tirelessly for the family. We should get out of this mindset and give
our mothers the respect they deserve. For a change, we could enjoy the healthy food she
prepares, iron our clothes ourselves and help her with household chores. Mothers offer
selfless love which lasts through all ordeals and through our lives. A mother is God’s
blessing and we should recognise her worth.

Question 2.
What last warning did Mrs Fitzgerald give Mrs Pearson?
Answer:
Mrs. Fitzgerald was a bold and creative lady. Her presence in Mrs Pearson’s life holds great
importance. Had she been missing from Mrs. Pearson’s life, Mrs. Pearson would never have
changed. She advised Mrs. Pearson to remain firm and not to allow her children to be bossy
and authoritative. She told her, never to get bullied by her children and husband. She asked
her to fight for her rights. She also told her to be confident as well as courageous. Mrs.
Fitzgerald painted out that, let her family realize her significance for which she needed to
maintain her family position. She was made to realize that nothing is above self-respect and
self-esteem of a person.
