write the theme of the story 'the lost child'
Answers
Answer:
The underlying theme of the story " The Lost Child " is the universality of a child's desire for everything that he claps his eyes on . All that the child witnesses from the toys lining the street , to the dragon flies in the mustard field to the snake swaying to the tunes of a pungi obsesses the child .It is a visual assault on his senses . He looks at everything in wonder , his senses almost rejoicing being alive.His parents on the other hand are like a parental control filter , abstaining him from the lures of the illusionary world as if secretly knowing that what he needs most is entirely something else . A quiet reminder that the child must learn to prioritize whats important and whats not in life . In the end when the child loses his parents he understands what his parent's silent gestures and reprimands were trying to teach him . He realizes now that what he wanted most was his parents . He continuously refuses everything that the kind stranger offers to console him with - exactly the very same things he was goading his parents for moments ago . Within minutes his life changes and offers him an entirely new perspective of looking at life and understanding it for what it really is .
