Question : Comprehension:

Read the following passage and answer the questions.

Soapy moved restlessly on his seat in Madison Square. There are certain signs to show that winter is coming. Birds begin to fly south. People buy new warm coats. Soapy felt restless in the park. When you see these signs, you know winter is near. A dead leaf fell at Soapy’s feet. That was a special sign for him that winter was almost there. It was time for all who lived in Madison Square to prepare. Soapy had to find some way to take care of himself during the cold weather. His hopes for the winter were not very high. He was not thinking of sailing away on a ship. He was not thinking of the warm southern skies. Three months in the prison on Blackwell Island was what he wanted. Three months of food every day and a bed every night, three months safe from the cold north wind and safe from cops. This is what Soapy wanted most in the world.

For years, Blackwell Island had been his winter home. Richer New Yorkers made their plans to go to Florida or to the shore of the Mediterranean Sea each winter. Soapy made his small plans for going to the island. Although there were places in the city where he could go and ask for food and a bed and he could move from one building to another, he preferred Blackwell Island. Soapy’s spirit was proud. If he went to any of these places, there were certain things he had to do. In one way or the other, he would have to pay for what they gave him. They would not ask him for money but they would make him wash himself well and answer questions. They would want to know everything about his life. In prison, a gentleman’s life was still his own life.
