Question 3

The walls of the classroom are decorated with the pictures of ‘Shakespeare’, ‘buildings with  domes’, ‘world maps’ and beautiful valleys. How do these contrast with the world of these children?

Answer

The pictures of ‘shakespeare’ on the walls reflect that they would be getting good and quality education but in reality there was nothing like that. Children were living in the slum. They get half education. The buildings with domes reflect the civilized world which is unknown to them. The world map has no meaning to them because of slum, this world map shows here that history is only created by rich and powerful people not by slum people. The beautiful valley is meaningless to them as they can only see the polluted sky through the broken window panes and shows their dark future.
