What does the map of the wall tempted the slum children?
Answers
Answer:
The classroom is decorated with the donated pictures of world maps, Shakespeare, and beautiful valleys. These pictures are of no help and use to the poor children. Their actual world is the squalid surroundings of the slum. These pictures might do them more harm than good. As the poor students might feel tempted to live life as depicted in the pictures. They might take to criminal activities.
Answer:
When the slum children see the world map hanging on the wall of their classroom, they are tempted to visit those unknown lands, hills and rivers that they had never seen before. They want to see the open sky, vast oceans, sandy beaches and green fields.
So the author requests the concerned authority to let these poor and deprived children go out of their dirty slums and enjoy the beauty of the nature in the real world.
