Question

A)
Use the excerpt from Peter Pan to answer the question.
Mrs. Darling came to the window, for at present she was keeping a sharp eye on
Wendy. She told Peter that she had adopted all the other boys, and would like to
adopt him also.
“Would you send me to school?” he inquired craftily.
"Yes.”
“And then to an office?”
"I suppose so.”
“Soon I would be a man?”
“Very soon.”

“I don’t want to go to school and learn solemn things,” he told her passionately. “I
don’t want to be a man. O Wendy’s mother, if I was to wake up and feel there was a
beard!”
“Peter,” said Wendy the comforter, “I should love you in a beard;” and Mrs. Darling
stretched out her arms to him, but he repulsed her. “Keep back, lady, no one is
going to catch me and make me a man.”
“But where are you going to live?”
“With Tink in the house we built for Wendy. The fairies are to put it high up among
the treetops where they sleep at nights.”
“How lovely,” cried Wendy so longingly that Mrs. Darling tightened her grip.
“I thought all the fairies were dead,” Mrs. Darling said.
"There are always a lot of young ones,” explained Wendy, who was now quite an
authority, “because you see when a new baby laughs for the first time a new fairy is

born, and as there are always new babies there are always new fairies. They live in
nests on the tops of trees; and the mauve ones are boys and the white ones are
girls, and the blue ones are just little sillies who are not sure what they are.”
“I shall have such fun,” said Peter, with one eye on Wendy.
“It will be rather lonely in the evening,” she said, “sitting by the fire.”
“I shall have Tink.”
