8 distinctions proved to be not good enough Our daughter received her matric results two weeks ago. She obtained 8 distinctions and an
overall average of 90%. She also obtained her national colours in hockey and athletics. She
was also the chairperson of the RCL at a prestigious school. Additionally, she even learned
IsiZulu as a means to improve her communication skills. After popping the champagne, we
now have to dry our tears because she has not been accepted at the medical school. Her
goal was to specialise in paediatrics and that was the driving force behind the good
performance. How does one console your child in such a situation?

Read the selection below and answer the question. an open boat by alfred noyes o, what is that whimpering there in the darkness? 

 'let him lie in my arms. he is breathing, i know.
 look. i'll wrap all my hair round his neck' – the sea's rising,
 the boat must be lightened. he's dead. he must go.' 


 see - quick - by that flash, where the bitter foam tosses, 
 the cloud of white faces, in the black open boat, 
 and the wild pleading woman that clasps her dead lover 
 and wraps her loose hair round his breast and his throat.
 'come, lady, he's dead.' - 'no, i feel his heart beating,
 he's living, i know. but he's numbed with the cold. 
 see, i'm wrapping my hair all around him to warm him.' -
- 'no. we can't keep the dead, dear. come, loosen your hold.

 'come. loosen your fingers.' - 'o god, let me keep him! ' -
 o, hide it, black night! let the winds have their way! 
 and there are no voices or ghosts from that darkness, 
 to fret the bare seas at the breaking of day. the shift in the poem’s rhythm in the last stanza signifies a resolution to the conflict that the poem is a sonnet the speaker’s confusion an irregular rhyme scheme
