● ALPHONSE DAUDET. (1840-1897)
Alphonse Daudet
The French novelist, dramatist, and short-storywriter Alphonse Daudet (1840-1897) is
remembered chiefly for his regionalist sketches of Provence and for his transitional role in
the evolution of 19th-century theater.
Born in Nîmes, as a child Alphonse Daudet experienced the heady delights of a sun-
drenched Provence and the darkening contrasts of his family's steadily worsening
financial condition. His father, a silk manufacturer, had to abandon business there in
1849, moving the family north to Lyons; never fully recovering from the depression which
followed the Revolution of 1848, the Daudets finally lost everything in 1857.

Their fields and homes had been swept away by storms. They had come
to the big city to find a living. They are poor. The writer watches Saheb
every morning scrounging for “gold” in her neighbourhood. Garbage is a
means of survival for the elders and for the children it is something
wrapped in wonder. The children come across a coin or two from it.
These people have desires and ambitions, but they do not know the way
to achieve them. There are quite a few things that are unreachable to
them, namely shoes, tennis and the like. Later Saheb joins a tea stall
where he could earn 800 Rupees and all the meals. The job has taken
away his freedom.

industry. Nearly 20,000 children are engaged in this business and the
law that forbids child labour is not known here. The living condition and
the working environment is a woeful tale. Life in dingy cells and
working close to hot furnaces make these children blind when they step
into the adulthood. Weighed down by the debt, they can neither think
nor find a way to come of out of this trap. The politicians, middlemen,
policemen and bureaucrats will all obstruct their way of progress. The
women in the household consider it as their fate and just follow the
tradition. Mukesh is different from the rest of the folk there. He dreams
to become a motor mechanic. The garage is far away from his house but
he shall walk. comes across Mukesh in Firozabad.

Kutty. The renowned Indian author was

Punnayurkulam, India as Kamala Surayya,
she was better known in her home state of
Kerala for her short stories and her

Malayalam (her native tongue), gained her
both fame and notoriety. Later, it was
translated into English.

32. ● THEME OF THE
POEM
My Mother at Sixty-six is based
on the theme of advancing age
and the fear of loss and
separation associated with it.
The poetess undergoes a
plethora of emotions when she
sees her mother ageing, and
feels the pangs of separation at
the thought of losing her.
33.
34. ● SUMMARY
Ageing is an inescapable phase of every human’s life. A person
enters their childhood, experiences adolescence when they are
energetic and have so many dreams. Finally, every person
approaches their old age and then they die. Relationships between
people become much stronger in every phase of life. No one can’t
bear the separation from their loved ones just because of ageing.
Firstly, when the author going to the Cochin airport with her
mother she looks at her carefully and presents before us her
image. As she looks at her mother’s soft and whitish face, she gets
stuck with the fear of losing her mother. Her mother with a sleepy
face and open mouth is comparable to a corpse. Here, the author
shows love and affection in a relationship between a mother and a
daughter.
The poet is hurt and sad and shifts her attention outside the car
for driving out the undesirable feelings. She changes her bad
mood. The scene from the window of the car is of rising life and
energy. The fast sprinting green and huge trees alongside the
cheerfully playing kids represent life, youth, and vitality. The poet
here is remembering about her own childhood. In her childhood,
her mother was young and beautiful. Whereas now her mother is
surrounded by the fear of losing her life and that made her
insecure and sad.

37. ● INTRODUCTION TO AUTHOR
JACK FINNEY (1911-1995)
Jack Finney (2 October 1911-16 November 1995) was
born in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, and given the name John
Finney. His father died when he was three years old and
he was renamed Walter Braden Finney in honour of his
father. Yet the nickname Jack remained with him
throughout his life. He attended Knox College in
Galesburg, Illinois. His best known works are science
fiction and thrillers. Two of his novels, ‘The Body
Snatchers’ and ‘Good Neighbour Sam’ became the basis
of popular films.Jack Finney first showed an interest in
time travel in the short-story collection ‘The Third Level’.
Finney’s greatest success came with his science fiction
novel ‘Time and Again’. Finney died of pneumonia and
emphysema at the age of 84, not long after finishing
‘From Time to Time’, the sequel to ‘Time and Again’.
40. ● CHARACTER SKETCH OF THE STORY
● Charley: The protagonist of the story,
Charley is a true representative of modem
man. He is a victim of stress, insecurity and
fear and wants to run away from reality.
He is an escapist and wants to escape from
the world of harsh realities. He is fond of
stamp collection, a hobby, which he takes
up to make his leisure hours more
productive and fulfilling experience.
● Louisa: Louisa is Charley’s wife. She is
loving and caring towards her husband.
However, she is a simple lady and it is not
difficult to take her in. She refuses to accept
the psychiatrist’s observation that her
husband is unhappy. She takes this
comment as a personal attack and feels
‘kind of mad’. On being told the modern
world is full of insecurity, fear, etc. she feels
satisfied with the psychiatrist explanation.
41. ● CHARACTER SKETCH OF
SAM
Sam: is a psychiatrist by profession. He is a typical city
boy. When Charley shares his visiting the third level he
tells him it is a waking dream wish fulfilment. He tells
him that he is looking for ways to escape since he is not
happy. But he immediately revises his statement that
Charley is a victim of insecurities of modern life. He dubs
the argument of narrator’s hobby of stamp collection as
a temporary refuge from reality.
42. ● THEME OF
THE STORY
‘The Third Level’ is a story that weaves together a
psychological journey of the narrator into past,
present and moves towards future. There is
always a natural human tendency to constantly
move between the past, the present and the
future. Past, present and future are strategically
and organically interconnected.Man is mortal
and has many good and bad aspects of life like
love, profit, loss, good, bad, etc. All these aspects
tend to affect the human mind. Then existential
worries act like a catalyst for making thehuman
mind constantly move between the past, the
present and the future. ‘The Third Level’ is a
study of human mind caught in this cycle of
time.When people in the present time want to
escape the problems and stress of life, they feel
that life, fifty or sixty years ago, was relaxed
and they wanted to go back to that time for
peace and happiness.
43. ● SUMMARY
The story revolves around a 31 year old man named Charley, who experienced
something weird. One day after work coming from the Subway, he reached the
third level of the Grand Central station (which does not actually exist). He
reminisces the entire experience with his psychiatrist friend Sam. Charley
thought he experienced time travel and had reached somewhere in the eighteen-
nineties, a time before the world saw two of its most deadliest wars. As soon as
he realised what time he is in, he immediately decided to buy two tickets to
Galesburg, Illinois; one for himself and the other for his wife. Unfortunately,
the currency used in that century was different. Thus, the next day he withdrew
all his savings and got them converted even if it meant bearing losses. He went
looking for the third level but failed to find it. It worried his wife and the
psychiatrist Sam who told him that he is hallucinating in order to take refuge
from reality and miseries of the modern world which is full of worry. Charley
thus resorts to his stamp collection in order to distract himself when suddenly
one day he finds a letter from his friend Sam who had gone missing recently.
Sam wrote that he always wanted to believe in the idea of third level and now
that he is there himself, he encourages Charley and Louisa to never stop looking
for it.
44. ❖ IS THE SAM WAS THE REAL CHARACTER?
WHY HE DISAPPEARED SUDDENLY?
➢ This question may arises in any
student that if the Sam was real real
character then why he disappeared
suddenly without any information.
From the beginning of the story we
read that the Sam was a psychiatrist
and he was practical in nature he
doesn't believe in time travel or such
things, So is the Sam was the
imaginary character by Charlie?
➢ WHAT DOES YOU THINK ABOUT SAM?
45. ➢MY VIEW'S
ABOUT SAM!
I think that Sam was the real character and he doesn't
dissapeared suddenly, because that was the time of world
war so nobody wants to stay there every people want the
surrounding of peace, happiness and joy. So I think that
Sam refuges to another country,from the story we have
seen that Sam had withdrawn an big amount of money
from bank.
But at the end of the story we have seen the letter wrote by
Sam from Galesburg in (1894) to Charlie, this
contradicts our logical thinking.
❖ Since we know that Jack Finney was an science
fiction writer who write an imaginary stories
based on science friction and time travel
❖ Hence this story is imaginary and all characters
are imaginary and everything can happen in these
types of story.
