Answers
Themes of the poem ‘An Elementary School Classroom in a Slum’ and the chapter ‘Lost Spring’ are the same.
The poem depicts the plight of slum children living in miserable poverty in slums. Deprived of basic necessities of life, they are forced to live in the squalid surroundings.
The people in government, who have the power to do welfare work for them, don’t bother to do the good work. These poor children will continue to live a life of sufferings and want until the government officials, teachers, or other rich people come forward for their cause.
Chapter Lost Spring also highlights the problem of child-labour in our country. Thousands of people belonging to poor families are forced to do the work of rag picking and bangle-making industry.
The corrupt government officials in league with the middlemen, shahukars, police, etc. don’t let them come out of the vicious circle of poverty for their own benefits.
Thus, both the chapter and the poem deal with a similar theme.
