NCERT Solutions for Class 8 English Chapter 2: A Concrete Example
"A Concrete Example" is a poem by Reginald Arkell. The preface says it highlights irony and satire in everyday situations: a rock garden may be a thing of beauty for one person and unnoticed by another. At about ten pages with its activities, it is a compact chapter. Students read the poem aloud, notice its humour and tone, discuss how the poet gently mocks and compare differing views of the same thing. It gives practice with literary devices, one of the book's curricular goals, and invites students to write a few lines on an everyday irony of their own.
