How does the world depicted on …

The world depicted on the class-room walls differs from the world of the slum children in the sense that the pictures on the walls mean progress, prosperity and well-being. But the children of slum children live in a troubled state. They are devoid of education, money and other necessities of life.(i) The walls of the slum class room were decorated with donations from various people. They depict fabulous cities that shine in the morning sun and beautiful Tyralese vales. But the world of the slum children is the world they see outside their class room windows, the dark allies roofed with the burning sun. Their world is full of dirty rubbish heaps.

(ii) According to Keats the beautiful things of earth makes man love love earth and the life in it, in spite of problems and miseries.

(iii) Aunt Jennifer was in perpetual fear of her husband. But she yearned to be fearless and free. The prancing tigers in her embroidery represent her unfulfilled aspirations.

(iv) The poet was extremely aware of her mother's advancing age and feared that she may die soon as she is getting old. So when she left her in the airport she fixed an artificial smile on her lips and said "See you soon, Amma". But at the same time she had the fear that she may not see her Amma when she comes next.
