Antоjоs An оld womаn emerged аt lаst from a shack behind the cabana, buttoning up a torn housedress, and followed closely by a little boy, who kept ducking behind her 5 whenever Yolanda smiled at him. Asking his name just drove him further into the folds of the old woman's skirt. "You must excuse him, Doña," she apologized. "He's not used to being 10 among people." But Yolanda knew the old woman meant not the people in the village, but the people with money who drove through Altamira to the beaches on the coast. "Your name," the old woman 15 repeated, as if Yolanda hadn't asked him in Spanish. The little boy mumbled at the ground. "Speak up!" the old woman scolded, but her voice betrayed pride when she spoke up for him. "This little 20 know-nothing is Jose Duarte Sanchez y Mella Garcia." Yolanda laughed. Not only were those a lot of names for such a little boy, but they certainly were momentous: the surnames 25 of the three liberators of the country! "Can I serve the Doña in any way?" the woman asked. Yolanda gave the tree line beyond the woman's shack a glance. "You think you might have some guavas 30 around?" The old woman's face scrunched up. "Guavas?" she murmured and thought to herself a second. "Why, they're all around, Doña. But I can't say as I've 35 seen any." "With your permission—" Jose Duarte had joined a group of little boys who had come out of nowhere and were milling around the car, boasting how many 40 automobiles they had ridden in. At Yolanda's mention of the guavas, he sprung forward, pointing across the road towards the summit of the western hills. "I know where there's a whole grove of 45 them." Behind him, his little companions nodded. "Go on, then!" His grandmother stamped her foot as if she were scatting a little animal. "Get the Doña some." 50 A few boys dashed across the road and disappeared up a steep path on the hillside, but before Jose could follow, Yolanda called him back. She wanted to go along too. The little boy looked 55 towards his grandmother, unsure of what to think. The old woman shook her head. The Doña would get hot, her nice clothes would get all dirty. Jose would get the Doña as many guavas as she was 60 wanting. "But they taste so much better when you've picked them yourself," Yolanda's voice had an edge, for suddenly, it was as if the woman had turned into the long 65 arm of her family, keeping her away from seeing her country on her own. pear-shaped fruit Adapted from "Antojos," by Julia Alvarez.

EXERPT FROM 'THE OVERCOAT' by Nikоlаi Gоgоl When аnd how he entered the depаrtment, and who appointed him, no one could remember. However much the directors and chiefs of all kinds were changed, he was always to be seen in the same place, the same attitude, the same occupation; so that it was afterwards affirmed that he had been born in undress uniform with a bald head. No respect was shown him in the department. The porter not only did not rise from his seat when he passed, but never even glanced at him, any more than if a fly had flown through the reception-room. His superiors treated him in coolly despotic1 fashion. Some sub-chief would thrust a paper under his nose without so much as saying, "Copy," or "Here's a nice interesting affair," or anything else agreeable, as is customary amongst well-bred officials. And he took it, looking only at the paper and not observing who handed it to him, or whether he had the right to do so; simply took it, and set about copying it. The young officials laughed at and made fun of him, so far as their official with permitted; told in his presence various stories concocted about him, and about his landlady, an old woman of seventy; declared that she beat him; asked when the wedding was to be; and strewed bits of paper over his head, calling them snow. But Akakiy Akakievitch answered not at word, any more than if there had been no one there besides himself. It even had no effect upon his work; amid all these annoyances he never made a single mistake in a letter. But I'd the joking became wholly unbearable, as when they jogged his hand and prevented his attending to his work, he would exclaim, "Leave me alone! Why do you insult me?" And there was something strange in the words and the voice in which they were uttered. There was in it something which moved to pity; so much that one young man, a new comer, who, taking pattern by the others, had permitted himself to make sport of Akakiy, suddenly stopped short, as though all about him had undergone a transformation, and presented itself in a different aspect. Some unseen force repelled him from the comrades whose acquaintance he had made on the supposition that they were well-bred and polite men. Long afterwards, in his gayest moments, there recurred to his mind the little official with the bald forehead, with his heart-rending words, "Leave me alone! Why do you insult me?" In these moving words, other words resounded -- "I am thy brother." And the young man covered his face with his hand; and many a time afterwards, in the course of his life, shuddered at seeing how much inhumanity there is in man, how much savage coarseness is concealed beneath delicate, refined worldliness, and even in that man whom the world acknowledges as honourable and noble. It would be difficult to find another man who lived so entirely for his duties. It is not enough to say that Akakiy laboured with zeal; no, he laboured with love. In his copying, he found a varied and agreeable employment. Enjoyment was written on his face: some letters were even favourites with him; and when he encountered these, he smiled, winked, and worked with his lips, till it seemed as though each letter might be read in his face, as his pen traced it. If his pay had been in proportion to his zeal, he would, perhaps, to his great surprise, have been made even a councillor of state. But he worked, as his companions, the wits, put it, like a horse in a mill. Moreover, it is impossible to say that no attention was paid to him. One director being a kindly man, and desirous of rewarding him for his long service, ordered him to be given something more important than mere copying. So he was ordered to make a report of an already concluded affair of another department: the duty consisting simply of changing the heading and altering a few words from the first to the third person. This caused him so much toll that he broke into a perspiration, rubbed his forehead, and finally said, "No, give me rather something to copy." After that they let him copy on forever. As used in paragraph 3, what does the word “zeal” suggest about Akakiy?
