Answer the following questions after reading “The Story of Nil”. Use examples and/or brief quotations from the text, and draw heavily from personal experience where indicated, to support your position.
1. Clearly, music plays a life-giving function in the story, whereby Nil blesses others with his musical talent. Consider an example where you, like Nil, have used a talent to bring life (enrichment) to others, or else make a connection to the text by referring to a time when another gifted you with a creative or life-giving act.
2. The Story of Nil is an example of “An Exchange of Gifts,” where an exchange takes place between people for their mutual benefit. Consider a relationship between any characters in your Lesson Four readings, commenting on how you view the act as a mutual enrichment.
3. In Lesson 4 Parts 1 and 2 you were introduced to the elements of setting, point of view, dialogue, tone, mood and style, and to consider the role they play in short story development. Comment on how you observed one or two of these elements and how your experience was enriched.

2. What “impressions” are created in the poem about Pavlova? About ballet? About the speaker? Then, comment on how death is represented by the poet as you make any connections.
3. Taking note of Pavlova’s life, as portrayed by the poet, surmise something about Pavlova’s person or character, and then support your insight.
4. Is this poem more humanistic or spiritual as it deals with the question of death? Refer to the poem’s language, tone and/or devices to support your position. What thoughts or feelings does the poem leave with you? Are any important insights made about life; and if so, are you in any way challenged after reading the poem?
