Answer 2

Answer:

Explanation:

A. Classroom walls

B. The walls of the colour is “sour cream” that suggests of white but it has a sour smell. It exhibits the depression, dejection and disappointment on the faces of slum school children. These walls suggest the decaying aspect and thereby the slum children are too in the pitiable as well as miserable state of affairs. They need the attention of the civilized people.

C. People have donated different charts and images which have been put up on them. One of them is a picture Of the great playwright Shakespeare. His head is bald and resembles the rising Sun. The next poster is of the Tyrolese valley, full of churches and flowers which symbolizes the beautiful creations of nature. Another one is a map of the World. To these children the world is not the one shown in these pictures, but it is the one they see out of the class room window. They are trapped in the slums. Their future is dim and hopeless.  

D.  The rich and the dictators award and divide this world according to their will. Thus it is the world of rich and powerful people.
