A. ANSWER THESE QUESTIONS.
1. Does the poet's
family eat the food that has been in the refrigerator for a while? Give reason

No, the

mother says, ‘the food is too old to eat and needs to be thrown away’.
2. How long does
the food remain in the fridge?
The food remains in the fridge
over a month.

month some fuzzy clumps of multi-coloured mould grows on the food and they get
larger day by day with certain special smell.
4. When does the
poet's mother decide that it is time to get rid of it?
Finally,
the food becomes nasty mass of slime and then, mother decides to get rid of it.
5. What does she do
after dumping it in the garbage?
We are
not sure what she does after dumping it in the garbage, but she does not regret
for throwing it away as it was spoiled fully.
B. THINK AND ANSWER
1. Why is the poem
called Deep in Our Refrigerator?
Normally
deep refrigerator is used as preserving food for sometime. Here in this poem,
the little girl keeps old food in it and them forgets about it. After a month
when they discover it, the food becomes a nasty mass of slime worthy to be
thrown away. Everything happens around the deep refrigerator; thus, the poem is
named as ‘Deep in Our Refrigerator’.
2. Why do you think
Mother is reluctant to throw to throw the food away?
The food that
has been around awhile, not necessarily it is spoiled. Therefore, it needs to
be stored in deep refrigerator, so that she can have it sometime later. That is
the reason she is reluctant to throw it away.
C. DISCUSS IN CLASS
Is it healthy to
leave food in the refrigerator for a month or more? Why/Why not?
Keeping
food in the refrigerator for a month or more is of course not healthy at all.
First of all, the freshness and nutrition of the food is reduced due to longer
duration. Even the refrigerator cannot secure some food over a month. Sometimes
we hear that refrigerator emits some kind of gas, so definitely keeping food
longer is not at all a good idea.
