Question

It is not the span of years but the strength of character that lends finesse to the texture of life . Discuss this statement with reference to two little kids in the story.

Answer 1

The fact that the 2 boys were precocious was because of the hardships they had faced. The story of these 2 little boys highlights the fact that your age can never determine your maturity. The boys were very young in spite of that they had learned the lesson of life. They had seen war , they had seen innocents dying for no reason, they had lost their family except their sister who was seriously ill but all of this didn't make them tread on the wrong path.
The strength of their character made them face the difficulties of life with a wide smile which makes it all the more extraordinary.
