Question

In the first stanza of the poem, Spender describes four
children in particular. How does he describe each one of
them?​

Answer 1

❥The map on the wall shows beautiful rivers, mountains and valleys whereas the world of the slum children only consists of dim lanes covered with a lead sky. The beautiful world of the map is unknown to them. So the map just tempts them without giving them an opportunity to live in the real world.
