The return journey
Scott arrived at the Pole with four team members on 17 January, 1912, and was disheartened.
Amundsen reached the Pole on 14 December, 1911 and put a Norwegian flag there. Then he prepared for the return journey.
Men were very tired and were running out of food. The weather conditions were terrible. They brought rocks back for scientific evaluation. All members died.
Amundsen and his team arrived safely back to their starting base on 25 January, 1912, ten days ahead of their planned schedule.
Q1: What did Scott mean “Putting on our shoes in the morning is getting slower and slower”in line26
He meant that each one wanted to encourage the other, but no one was really sure what's going to happen. They were getting weak.
Analyse the text. Guess what is the implied meaning of each sentence in the text.
He fully understood that they couldn't pull through and they came to their final time. He thought the exploration was worthwhile , but it just cost so much.
Q2:What is the implied meaning of Scott's words“but what a price to pay” in line 42
Q3:From the context on Book P37, can you summarise the change of feelings on Scott's team's return journey Please give reasons for the words or phrases you have chosen.
hopeless and helpless (The men were tired and were running out of food.).
determined and devoted (They found time to look for rocks and carried twenty kilos of rocks all the way with them.)
sad but courageous(Edgar Evans had a terrible disease and died. The next to go was Captain Oates. We all hope to meet the end with a similar spirit.)
Q4: Why do you think the writer of the text used the word “race” in the title
The word “race” may have the following meanings in the text:
1) It's a race between Scott's team and Amundsen's team to see who can get to the Pole first.
2) For Scott's team, it's a race between survival and death.
3) For Scott's team, it's also a race between the terrible condition the team face and their perseverence and bravery.
How do you understand Amundsen's saying about Scott's death “Captain Scott left a record, for honesty, sincerity , for bravery, for everything that makes a man”
Captain Scott wrote a diary detailing his journey, which was truthful and honest. He was honest about the feelings of his team and his fears. Captain Scott and his team brought back rocks for research, they did not only think about themselves but also about the greater good of humankind and the effect of the research.
Think and Share
Would you say that Scott and his team were losers Why or why not
Even though Scott and his team lost the race to the Pole, they showed true determination and strength of character which is seen in heroes. Scott and his team are inspirational and not losers. They had always kept their goals in mind.They carried the rocks even in extremely difficult situations. The spirit and what they have done helped followers do further research.
