Question - 12 : -
Do you think Mr Gessler was a failure as a bootmaker or as a competitive
businessman ?

Answer - 12 : -

I think Mr Gessler was a successful bootmaker. His boots were known for their quality. People waited for long for his boots. But as a competitive businessman he was a complete failure. He never made any advertisement. He took his own time in the making of boots. So he delivered the orders very late. People lost patience. It made his business flop.

Question - 13 : -
What is the significance of the title ? To whom or to what does it refer ?

Answer - 13 : -

The title ‘Quality’ is significant because this refers to the theme of the story. The whole story says that the modern age is the age of quantity and not quality. Those who produce much in quick time get success. On the other hand those who bother about the quality as Mr. Gessler did, fail. So ‘Quality’ is a very apt title for this story.

Question - 14 : -
Speak to five adults in your neighbourhood. Ask them the following questions (in any language they are comfortable in). Then come back and share your findings with the class.
(i) Do they buy their provisions packed in plastic packets at a big store, or loose, from a smaller store near their house ?
(ii) Where do they buy their footwear ? Do they buy branded footwear, or foot wear made locally ? What reasons do they have for their preference ?
(iii) Do they buy ready-made clothes, or buy cloth and get their clothes stitched by a tailor ? Which do they think is better?

Answer - 14 : -

  1.  No they don’t prefer to buy their provisions packed in packets at a big store. There are only a few who buy packed items. Most of them prefer loose items from smaller stores near their house.
  2.  They buy their footwear from local cobbler. They prefer handmade shoes. They are a few who prefer branded shoes from Bata stores.
  3.  They buy clothes and get them stitched by tailor. They think that ready made clothes are costly and not long-lasting.
