The map of the world on the classroom walls is drawn in accordance with the will of the powerlords. This world is not even remotely related to the world of the dirty slums. The world depicted in the pictures that decorate the walls holds a stark contrast with the world of the underfed poverty stricken slum children who live in cramped dark holes. The pictures suggest beauty, well-being and prosperity. So there is no connection whatsoever between the map of the civilized world to that of the world of the children.

"An Elementary School Classroom in A Slum" paints a dismal picture of poverty by portraying the life of poor slum children who spend their entire life in poverty and have no opportunity to enjoy the real blessings of life.
- The poet Stephen Spender displays his concern towards the miserable condition of life of slum children due to utter poverty.
- He describes the sad and pathetic look of the children through moving word-pictures like 'gusty waves', 'hair torn', 'paper-seeming boy', etc.
- The lack of proper food and nutrition has made them look 'pale' and 'stunted' like 'rootless weeds.'
- The classrooms in which they study smell like 'sour cream' and the pictures in their classroom of 'Shakespeare' and 'world map' seem completely meaningless.
- The look of the world from their classroom window shows their uncertain and miserable future.
- Their entire lives have been spent in cramped holes and their lives are foggy and like endless nights.
- Overall, the author intends to show how poverty snatches all the joys of our life and make life utterly unbearable.

The poet describes the dismal and impoverished world of the slum through the images of the pale and undernourished children. The little homes of these children have been equated with cramped holes. The dilapidated school building and its tarnished walls have limited the vision of the world to the children.

The poet Stephen Spender wants that the children of the slums should be able to experience the beauty and joy of the outside world. He wants that these children should be removed from their dirty surroundings. They should get the opportunity of being educated and be a part of the outside world. Their lives should not be confined to the cemeteries of the slums. They should come out in the green fields and breathe in open air so that they can grow unrestricted and liberated.

The map on the wall shows beautiful rivers, mountains and valleys whereas the world of the slum children only consists of dim lanes covered with a lead sky. The beautiful world of the map is unknown to them. So the map just tempts them without giving them an opportunity to live in the real world.

Stephen Spender talks about social injustice and class inequalities in the poem. The children in the elementary school in the slum are far away from the grandeur of the progressive outside world. Their future is painted with fog i.e. they have no hope of improvement. They are shut off from the world of the elite and the priveledged. They are far away from the beauty of literature and continue their lives in cramped holes...i.e their life is buried under catcombs(underground cemeteries). Only the people in authority can change their miserable lives and help them to rewrite their history.

In this poem Stephen Spender describes the theme of social injustice and class inequalities of civilized and poor slum people. The civilized world is educated, progressive and developed. The other world belongs to the slum children of Tyrol valley who need education and they live in cramped holes. He wants then to fulfil this gap and requests the civilized people to educate and raise them.

We are given that a bullet of mass 10 g moving with a velocity of 400 m/s gets embedded in a freely suspended wooden block of mass 900 g.
Let the final velocity acquired by the block be 'v m/s'.
The mass of the bullet = = 10 g =
= 0.01 kg
The mass of the wooden block = = 900 g =
= 0.9 kg
Also, the initial velocity of the bullet is given by = = 400 m/s
and the initial velocity of the wooden block is given by = = 0 m/s
Now, the momentum conservation of law states that;
Momentum before collision = Momentum after collision
=
= = 4.4
So, v = 4.4 m/s which means this is the velocity acquired by the block.

The pictures and maps on the wall are contrasted against the stiflingly dreadful environment in which the children live to bring out the futility of their education in a slum. The worlds that the children get a glimpse of can only remain a fantastical impossibility for them because they do not have access to the most basic amenities in life such as food, hygiene and clothing. Thus, the maps and the pictures might just as well be fantastical realms for these children they read about.
