Human qualities are definately more important in life. This was proved by the fact, that despite knowing that the wounded man was an American prisoner of war, Sadao and his wife did not put him back in the sea. He was a doctor and his foremost duty was to save life. He did not go against the medical ethics and treated him in his own house, always having the risk of getting arrested and called a traitor. Hana also nursed the man himself and did nothing to the servants who decided to leave the house because of the prisoner's presence. This story tells us that humanity is above all prejudices and that love and peace should prevail.

The entire class was very sad. M. Hamel’s announcement struck Franz like a thunder and lightning. M. Hamel had taught the people of Alsace fir forty years. He had become an integral part of their life. All the young and the old had come to attend his last class to show their respect to him. There were tears in the elderly people. They tried to learn as much as they could from their beloved teacher. Most of them were feeling quite patriotic and regretful for neglecting learning their mother tongue.

Jo would ask if the magic spells were real. When Jack told her that spiders ate bugs, she would turn to her mother and ask if that was really so. When Clare told her God was in the sky and all around them, she would turn to her father to know the reality. Jack tried to convince her by saying? “They’re real in stories.”

Jack was telling Jo something she must know and had no wish to hurry on. On the other hand he heard a chair scrapping. He realized that he must help his pregnant wife Clare to paint the wood work down stairs. These were the opposite forces acting on Jack while he was telling Jo the story.

Roger Skunk’s mummy was angry with him because she did not like her son smelling of roses. Roger was a skunk and so he must smell like one. She did not care for the fact that all the other animals kept away from him because he smelled badly. She decided to take him back to that ‘awful’ wizard so that he could get back his old smell.

Jo does not approve of the idea that Skunk’s mother should hit the wizard on his head. She wants infact the wizard to spank stupid mommy when she approaches him as she does not let her son have a new and pleasant smell so that he could befriend the other creatures.

A child’s perspective is different from an adult’s perspective. For Jo, Roger Skunk’s mother is wicked and stupid and she feels rather annoyed with her for making Roger smell bad again. She wanted a happy ending to the story and so she insists that her father should tell her the story where the wizard i should hit mommy in the end.

A child’s speech and line of thought, his actions and reactions, are natural and not guided by any outward influence. He speaks from his heart in accordance with what is ethically right in his perspective. On the other hand, an adult has many things to consider before speaking or reacting. Thus, the influence of society governs and dominates his thoughts.
In this chapter, Jo speaks what she considers correct. But Jack, an adult caught in a dilemma, kept thinking on the consequences of accepting his daughter's ending to the story and what the society has made him learn over time.

Considering the tender age of Jo, both the endings seem a little irrational. It is certain that she will be learning from whatever she hears and visualizes at this age. If the story ends according to Jack, Jo will never be able to question anything she considers wrong in life since this ending stresses that elders are always right in whatever they do. In addition, the story shows the skunk’s mommy hitting the wizard for no fault of his. The wizard had only done what he was asked to. This may scare the four-year-old Jo, as it teaches that mothers, being elders, have the right to hit anyone, even if they are not at fault.
On the contrary, if the story ends as Jo wanted it to, it will stop her from believing in and respecting her elders. She may even start believing that there is nothing wrong in hitting elders.
A balanced view may be given in an apt ending, where the mommy either does not hit the wizard at all or realizes her mistake soon.

As the story of Roger Skunk is unfolded, the impatient and unsatisfied Jo strongly puts forth her point of view. She did not want the story to end the way her father had perceived and narrated it. According to her point of view, the wizard should have hit the skunk’s mommy hard. Jack knew that from the ethical point of view, and according to the principles of respect that one is taught from the early childhood, what she was asking for was wrong.
However, the force with which Jo had asked him to change the end of the story left him in a dilemma. He was caught in a battle between the two perspectives, and could not find a way to make Jo understand his point of view that mothers are never wrong.

The poet refers to the 'sadness' of failing to understand oneself in the monotonous existence of everyday life. He also finds it sad that humanity is moving towards its own ruins, owing to its unprecedented actions. He regrets that the rush to out-maneuver others has made one forget the values of humanity.

Saheb is a rag-picker from Seemapuri whose parents migrated from Bangladesh in the year 1971. The writer encounters him every morning with barefoot in her neighbourhood. He is scrounging for gold in the garbage dumps.
He is unable to go to school because there is none in his neighbourhood. Saheb-e-Alam is his full name though he does not know its exact meaning. It means ‘Lord of the universe.’ It is ironical on his part that a poor fellow roams in the streets picking up the rags.
For the rag-pickers of Seemapuri, Garbage is wrapped in wonder. Sometimes one can find a rupee, more of a silver coin and they always hope to find more. They live in squatters with roofs of tin and tarpaulin. They have no identity except a ration card for voting and buying grain. They are devoid of sewages, drainage and running water. Survival in Seemapuri means rag-picking. At present Saheb is working at some tea stall. The writer sees him with a steel canister. He has lost his carefree look of his early days. He is not happy with his work because he is no longer his own master.

Roger Skunk's mother was angry because the wizard had made her son smell like roses which was not the way a little Skunk should smell. She poured her anger on the wizard and hit him with an umbrella on his head.

The indigo plantation was owned by the British and served by the natives. !5% of the land produced indigo which went as rent as per the agreement. Synthetic indigo from Germany had gained popularity and became profitable for the British. The British were no longer interested in indigo grown at champaran, so they cleverly propagated that the farmers will get rid of the agreement on paying the required sum of money. Many farmers did that. However, they felt cheated when the news of German indigo came to them. Their land was wasted, as it could not grow any other crop except indigo and they were fooled by the cheat Landlords.
