Explanation:

There was once, in the country of Alifbay, a sad city, the saddest of cities, a city so ruinously sad that it had forgotten its name. It stood by a mournful sea full of glumfish, which were so miserable to eat that they made people belch with melancholy even though the skies were blue...

And in the depths of the city, beyond an old zone of ruined buildings that look like broken hearts, there lived a happy young fellow by name of Haroun, the only child of the storyteller Rashid Khalifa, whose cheerfulness was famous throughout that unhappy metropolis, and whose never-ending stream of tall, and winding tales had earned him not one but two nicknames. To his admirers he was Rashid the Ocean of Notions, as stuffed with cheery stories as the sea was full of glumfish; but to his jealous rivals he was the Shah of Blah.

Answer:

There are some pints which reflect the country of alifbay and why the sad city:

  • The country of Alifbay is domestic to a completely sad city. The city is close to a sea complete with glumfish and is full of ruined homes and depressing people.
  • The city is so sad that it has forgotten its name. The lake is full of glumfish that make people "belch with melancholy," and factories withinside the northern part of the town truly manufacture unhappiness and misery. Rushdie's imagery creates a sorrowful and oppressive mood: "Smoke poured out ... of the unhappiness factories and hung over the town like horrific news" and the town carries an "antique sector of ruined homes that appeared like damaged hearts."
  • this story is ready a family dealing with a not unusual place disaster for all the standard motives and all the standard feelings. No remember how fantastical the activities become, the emotional anchor of the tale is Haroun's love for his family, his feeling of loss, and his perception that he contributed to the trouble and desire to do something to fix it. He units out to make matters proper for his family.
