Text A
From the moment you arrive in Marrakesh,
you‟ll get the distinct feeling you‟ve left
something behind - a toothbrush or socks,
maybe? But no, what you‟ll be missing in
Marrakesh is predictability and all sense of
direction. Never mind: you‟re better off
without them here. Marrakesh is too packed
with mind-boggling distractions and
labyrinthine alleyways to adhere to boring
linear logic. If you did have a destination,
you‟d only be stopped by snake charmers,
donkey carts, trendy silver leather poufs and
ancient Berber cures for everything from
relationships to rent.
Start at action-packed Djemaa el-Fna, and
if you can tear yourself away from the castanet
-clanging water-sellers and turbaned potion-
sellers, head into Marrakesh‟s maze of covered
market streets. Dive in headfirst at any street
headed north off the Djemaa el-Fna, and with
any luck you‟ll emerge exhilarated and
triumphant some hours later, carpet in tow.
Marrakesh’s old town is an ideal place to
explore palaces, stay in a palatial traditional
guesthouse, and sample a dish of piping-hot
snails. But it‟s worth leaving the old city
occasionally for dinner, drinks, art galleries and
fixed-price boutiques in the new town. Go
with the flow, and become an honorary
Marrakshi bahja (joyous one).

While Renaissance architecture was
characterized by circles and straight lines, the
Baroque was the era of ovals and undulating
walls which alternated between concave and
convex. Baroque buildings became ever more
elaborately ornamented. Interiors were
covered in paintings, and windows and doors
were capped with complex shapes. Garlands,
vases, urns, cartouches, and scrolling were
used for decoration. Composite capitals and
other variations on the ancient orders were
used. Pilasters (columns partly attached to
walls) appeared on facades in great abundance.
In order to appear more monumental,
columns and pilasters were paired and often
extended over two or more stories, forming
what is called the colossal order. In order to
maximize drama and grandeur, architects came
to incorporate the spaces around buildings
themselves in their designs. The manipulation
of the surrounding environments was highly
controlled. Shrubs and hedges were cut into
cubic shapes, flowers were planted in
geometric patterns, and the gardens and
woodlands surrounding palaces were
penetrated by straight rays of avenues. This
total control molded the viewer‟s entire
experience of the shapes.

The appearance of wizards in fantasy art,
and description in literature, is uniform to a
great extent, from the appearance of Merlin in
Arthurian related texts to those of Gandalf in
The Lord of the Rings. The association with age
means that wizards, both men and women, are
often depicted as old, white-haired, and (for
men) with long white beards so majestic as to
occasionally become host to lurking woodland
creatures. It predates the modern fantasy
genre, being derived from the traditional image
of wizards such as Merlin. Some theorize the
look of the wizard is modeled after the
Germanic god Woden or Odin as he was
described in his wanderer guise as being an old
man with a long gray beard, baggy robes, a
wide-brimmed hat and walking with a staff; he
has been hypothesized as the main influence
for Tolkien‟s Gandaif. Women, especially
those termed „enchantresses‟, are more likely
to appear young, though that is often the
effect of magic.
Their clothing is often typical as well.
Wizards commonly wear robes or cloaks and
pointed hats. These are often brightly colored
and spangled with stars and moons,
astrological symbols, or with magical sigils.
They may also be of gold. The coloring may
have significance with in the fantasy worlds; in
The Lord of the Rings, the wizards have colors
assigned to them, indicative of rank. When
Gandalf the Grey becomes Gandalf the
White, it is a major ascension of status;
whereas in the Dragonlance Dungeons and
Dragons setting, the wizards show their moral
alignment by their robes. Terry Pratchett
described this common attire as a way of
establishing to those they meet that the person
is capable of practicing magic.
Wizards may accessorize their wardrobe
with magical props, such as crystal balls,
wands, staves, books, potions, scrolls or
tinkling bells, while often rounding out their
appearance with ever-present animal
companions, which may act as familiars.
Stories in contemporary settings resembling
the real world, such as those of Harry Potter,
sometimes eschew some or all of these
trappings for more conventional attire.

Taken from: Charlie and the Chocolate
Factory, by Roald Dahi.
„An important room, this!‟ cried Mr
Wonka, taking a bunch of keys from his
pocket and slipping one into the keyhole of
the door. „This is the nerve centre of the whole
factory, the heart of the whole business! And
so beautiful‟ I insist upon my rooms being
beautiful! I can‟t abide ugliness in factories‟ In
we go, then! But do be careful, my dear
children! Don‟t lose your heads! Don‟t get
over-excited! Keep very calm!‟
Mr Wonka opened the door. Five children
and nine grown-ups pushed their way in —
and oh, what an amazing sight it was that now
met their eyes‟
They were looking down upon a lovely
valley. There were green meadows on either
side of the valley, and along the bottom of it
there flowed a great brown river.
What is more, there was a tremendous
waterfall halfway along the river—a steep duff
over which the water curled and rolled in a
solid sheet. and then went crashing down into
a boiling churning whirlpool of froth and
spray.
Below the waterfall (and this was the most
astonishing sight of all), a whole mass of
enormous glass pipes were dangling down into
the river from somewhere high up in the
ceiling! They really were enormous, those
pipes. There must have been a dozen of them
at least, and they were sucking up the
brownish muddy water from the river and
carrying it away to goodness knows where.
And because they were made of glass, you
could see the liquid flowing and bubbling
along inside them, and above the noise of the
waterfall, you could hear the never-ending
suck-suck-sucking sound of the pipes as they
did their work.

Continued from Text D
Graceful trees and bushes were growing
along the riverbanks— weeping willows and
alders and tall clumps of rhododendrons with
their pink and red and mauve blossoms. In the
meadows there were thousands of buttercups.
‘There” cried Mr Wonka, dancing up and
down and pointing his gold-topped cane at the
great brown river. „It‟s all chocolate! Every
drop of that river is hot melted chocolate of
the finest quality. The very finest quality.
There‟s enough chocolate in there to fill every
bathtub in the entire country! And all the
swimming pools as well! Isn‟t it terrific? And
just look at my pipes! They suck up the
chocolate and carry it away to all the other
rooms in the factory where it is needed!
Thousands of gallons an hour, my dear
children! Thousands and thousands of gallons!‟
The children and their parents were too
flabbergasted to speak. They were staggered.
They were dumbfounded. They were
bewildered and dazzIed. They were completely
bowled over by the hugeness of the whole
thing. They simply stood and stared.
‘The waterfall is most important!’ Mr
Wonka went on. „It mixes the chocolate! It
churns it up! It pounds it and beats it! It makes
it light and frothy! No other factory in the
world mixes its chocolate by waterfall! But it‟s
the only way to do it properly! The only way!
And do you like my trees?‟ he cried, pointing
with his stick. „And my lovely bushes? Don‟t
you think they look pretty? I told you I hated
ugliness! And of course they are all eatable‟ All
made of something different and delicious!
And do you like my meadows? Do you like my
grass and my buttercups? The grass you are
standing on, my dear little ones, is made of a
new kind of soft, minty sugar that I‟ve just
invented! I call it swudge! Try a blade! Please
do! It‟s detectable!‟
Automatically, everybody bent down and
picked one blade of grass — everybody, that
is, except Augustus Gloop, who took a big
handful.
And Violet Beauregarde, before tasting her
blade of grass, took the piece of world-record-
breaking chewing gum out of her mouth and
stuck it carefully behind her ear.

‘Isn’t it wonderful!’ whispered Charlie.
„Hasn‟t it got a wonderful taste, Grandpa?‟
‘l could eat the whole field” said Grandpa
Joe, grinning with delight. „I could go around
on all fours like a cow and eat every blade of
grass in the field!‟
‘Try a buttercup” cried Mr Wonka.
„They‟re even nicer!‟
Suddenly, the air was filled with screams of
excitement. The screams came from Veruca
Salt. She was pointing frantically to the other
side of the river. „Look‟ Look over there” she
screamed. „What is it? He‟s moving‟ He‟s
walking‟ It‟s a little person! It‟s a little man!
Down there below the waterfall!‟
Everybody stopped picking buttercups
and stared across the river. „She‟s right,
Grandpa!‟ cried Charlie. „It is a little man! Can
you see him?‟
‘I see him, Charlie!’ said Grandpa Joe
excitedly.
And now everybody started shouting at
once.
‘There’s two of them!’
„My gosh, so there is!‟
‘There’s more than two! There’s one, two,
three, four, five!‟
‘What are they doing?’
‘Where do they come from?’
‘Who are they?’
Children and parents a like rushed down
to the edge of the river to get a closer look.
‘Aren’t they fantastic!’
. ‘No higher than my knee!’
‘Look at their funny long hair!’
The tiny men - they were no larger than
medium-sized dolls - had stopped what they
were doing, and now they were staring back
across the river at the visitors. One of them
pointed towards the children, and then he
whispered something to the other four, and all
five of them burst into peals of laughter.
But they can’t be real people,’ Charhe said.
‘Of course they’re real people,’ Mr Wonka
answered. They‟re Oompa-Loompas.‟
