1 Answer these questions after reading the passage. 1 What kind of problems did the men have to face on Elephant Island?

1. They had to face two kinds of problems: one was psychological and the other physical. The psychological one was to stay cheerful and not give way to despair. The physical problem was to stay fit despite a diet consisting only of meat. This meant that there were not enough vitamins or minerals and the food was the same day after day. 2 What do you think was their greatest worry? How do you think they overcame this difficulty? 2. I think their greatest worry was not being rescued. They dealt with this by remaining cheerful, having musical evenings singing to the banjo and holding celebrations. 3 What did Shackleton encourage them to have celebrations? How do you think the celebrations helped? 3. Celebrations give people something to look forward to, create good relationships between the people who are celebrating and make everyone feel more cheerful. That is why Shackleton encouraged them.
