Mukesh was different from the others of his community. By daring to dream, he has already taken the first step towards a big change. He wants to become a motor mechanic and drive a car. He can realise this dream with determination and hard work. There might be many obstacles on his way but a strong willpower will help him move towards the way to success. The fact that he is willing to walk a long distance in order to learn the vocation, underlines his firm resolve. The only thing left for him to do is to make that first journey to that garage and request the owner to take him in and guide and direct him on his journey as a mechanic.

Douglas was a leading advocate of individual rights. He was a judge at the Supreme court of USA, retired in 1975 with a term lasting thirty-six years and remains the longest-serving Justice in the history of the court.

That day, Franz noticed the absence of the routine commotion caused by the opening and closing of desks, repeating of lessons in unison and rapping of the teacher's ruler on the table. The usual hustle-bustle was replaced by a strange stillness that was the characteristic of a school on a "Sunday morning."
The teacher's great ruler instead of rapping on the table, was under M.Hamel's arm. The villagers were also present in the class that day.

Neruda dreams of a calm, quiet and a peaceful world where the hallmark would be togetherness. He dreams of a world which is free of destructive activity. 

The poet concludes the poem in a serene and pious note leaving the listeners in an ecstatic and exotic moment of peace. He asks everyone to be quiet and enjoy the bliss of silence and start the exercise of introspection.

Dr. Sadoa:

• A dedicated surgeon and a doctor.
• A good human being
• Full of compassion and kindness for fellow beings
• Undergoes conflict when he realises that Tom is an American
• He fears that he might be called a traitor
• He operates upon the man
• Risks his life to help the man
• He also informs the General
• Again faces conflicts when he tells the General about the man.
• The General agrees to have the prisoner killed by private assassins
• Decides to help the soldier escape
• However, doesn’t understand why he saved the prisoner.

If we peep into the philosophy of the poet, one can note that he is against any kind of trouble, violence and attack. By calling upon the fishermen, he urges them not to harm the whales. In the same way he is against the salt gatherers whose hands are hurt during the salt gathering process. He wants all of them to stop for a while and do introspection.

The poet, in his appeal for keeping quiet, emphasizes the importance of self-introspection in a man's life. He urges us to seek a moment to understand ourselves and analyse our actions as we experience the sadness of death
