Question 1

What are Hari Singh’s reactions to the prospect of receiving an education? Do they change over time? (Hint: Compare, for example, the thought: “I knew that once I could write like an educated man there would be no limit to what I could achieve” with these later thoughts: “Whole sentences, I knew, could one day bring me more than a few hundred rupees. It was a simple matter to steal — and sometimes just as simple to be caught. But to be a really big man, a clever and respected man, was something else.”) What makes him return to Anil?

Answer

Hari singh’s reactions to the prospects of receiving an education change over time. When he started living with anil he wanted to be literate so that he could become a more cunning cheat. Later he had a change of heart. He wants to earn respect in life. Probably he is influenced by the clam in anil’s life. Although, both of them depend on irregular sources of income, but anil seems to be more satisfied. Hari singh develops a desire to be part of civilized society.
