Answer 1

IN THE CHAPTER WE SEE THAT in the last, he was a very grateful man and never gave up the responsibilities that were given to him even though he was a very mixed up man and a confused personality.

Answer 2

‘Patol Babu, Film Star’ by Satyajit Ray, is the story of an unassuming, humble, and modest man. He is a 52 year old man who gets an offer to play an insignificant role of a pedestrian in a film. He gets really very excited about his role. However, when he reaches the shooting scene for enacting his role, he is disappointed to know the insignificance and shortness of his scene. He is assigned the role of a pedestrian who is to bump into the hero and just exclaim the word ‘Oh!’ He wants to get away from the scene. He does not want to play such a small role.  

However, he is a passionate actor who reveres acting and stage. He remembers his mentor, Guru, Gogon Pakrashi’s words. He had told him many years ago that he must never refuse any role, however small it might be. As an artist his aim should always be to make the most of the opportunity, and squeeze the last drop of meaning out of his lines. Remembering his Guru’s words, Patol Babu resolves to give his best to the small role offered to him. He rehearses it many times, infusing different shades of emotions into the word ‘oh’. This shows he is very meticulous.  At last the scene is shot, and everyone appreciates his acting. Finally, he leaves the shooting scene modestly, without even receiving his payment.
