Question 1 (page 79 Literature 10 Book 1): The inherent contradiction in the character 'teacher' (a student who is poor in studies pretending to be a teacher)
- 'Teacher' repeatedly placed in awkward situations:
+ As a student with poor academic performance turned teacher, teaching letters but 'sees the letters with many complicated strokes, doesn't know which letter is which.' When asked urgently by students, the teacher boldly responds
+ The host discovers the teacher's mistake, and the teacher vigorously defends, hides incompetence
- Resolution of the 'teacher'
+ First situation: the 'teacher' chooses to 'speak boldly,' fearing a mistake, instructs students to read quietly, then instead of asking a knowledgeable person, the 'teacher' kneels down and prays
+ Second situation: when the host discovers the mistake, the 'teacher' still defends, with 'feeble arguments,' hides incompetence, refuses to admit mistakes.
- Despite incompetence being placed in difficult situations, the teacher still tries to conceal it. The more he hides, the more his true nature is revealed. Here, we see the irrationality in both speech and actions of the 'teacher'. This is an artistic technique used.
Question 2 (page 79 Literature 10 Book 1): The critical meaning of the story:
The story not only criticizes the student's poor performance but also criticizes the bad habit of hiding incompetence, refusing to learn from a section of the people. The story also advises everyone, especially those who go to school: do not hide incompetence, admit your mistakes, and boldly learn from others.
The story stops at the level of criticism, creating laughter that is refreshing, without harsh criticism.
