Answers
Why is the class dim?
Answer:
‘Class’ refers to the classroom which is dark and dingy, as it is in a slum school, where nobody cares for the lighting. ‘Dim’ is also used to denote the future of these children in the class.
Question 2:
Why is the child called ‘sweet and young?
Answer:
The child is called ‘sweet and young’ probably because he is an innocent child who is not concerned with what is going on in the classroom. Instead, he is daydreaming.
Question 3:
What does the child want to enjoy?
Answer:
The child wants to enjoy seeing squirrels playing in the tree outside the classroom.
Question 4:
What is the significance of the phrase, ‘other than this?
Answer:
‘This’ refers to the classroom, which does not interest the boy. He wants to go elsewhere, particularly outside, where the squirrels are playing in the tree.
