उत्तर
The atmosphere of Mr. Purcell's shop was depressing because although the animals and birds were making a lot of noise they may not have been happy as Mr. Purcell himself seems to be a professional person who ran the shop more as a business and not because he loved animals or birds. Besides almost all the animals and birds were in cages and the various words used to describe them like moving around in frantic circles, frightened, bewildered, blindly seeking all give us the impression that they were definitely not very happy to be caged in.

It was the summer of 1936. The Olympic Games were being held in Berlin. Because Adolf Hitler childishly insisted that his performers were members of a “master race,” nationalistic feelings were at an all-time high.
I wasn’t too worried about all this. I’d trained, sweated and disciplined myself for six years, with the Games in mind. While I was going over on the boat, all I could think about was taking home one or two of those gold medals. I had my eyes especially on the running broad jump. A year before, as a sophomore at the Ohio State, I’d set the world’s record of 26 feet 8 1/4 inches. Nearly everyone expected me to win this event.
