Question

Why does the writer begin her story with a detailed description of the
crocodile before shifting to Sibia's act of heroism ?
(c) Write a detailed note on the life-style of the Gujar community as brought
out in the story 'The Blue Bead'.
(c) Give an account of the thin, starving village girl, Sibia, emphasizing her
poor economic background​

Answer 1

Answer:

It is rather the writer's subtle method to describe closely a large crocodile along with description of mountainous landscape only to emphasize Sibia's fiery struggle for existence. The beautifully projected description of the crocodile is thus a prelude to Sibia's heroic deed as a part of her day to day existence.
