2. What do you think is the colour of ‘sour cream’? Why do you think the poet has used this expression to describe the classroom walls?
(āĻāĻĒুāύি 'āĻেāĻা āĻ্ā§°ীāĻŽ'ā§° ā§°ং āĻি āĻŦুāϞি āĻাāĻŦে? āĻāĻĒুāύি āĻিāϝ় āĻাāĻŦে āϝে āĻāĻŦিāϝ়ে āĻļ্ā§°েāĻŖীāĻোāĻ াā§° āĻĻেā§ąাāϞāĻŦোā§° āĻŦā§°্āĻŖāύা āĻā§°িāĻŦāϞৈ āĻāĻ āĻ
āĻিāĻŦ্āϝāĻ্āϤিāĻো āĻŦ্āĻ¯ā§ąāĻšাā§° āĻā§°িāĻে?)
Answer:- The colour of ‘sour cream’ is off-white. The poet has used this expression to suggest the decaying aspect of the surroundings. Actually these unpleasant walls symbolise the pathetic conditions of the lives of these children. However, there is an implied meaning in the word ‘sour’. The whole atmosphere is unpleasant and distasteful.

Why does Stephen Spender say that the pictures and maps in the elementary school classroom are meaningless?

Or
The walls of the classroom are decorated with the pictures of ‘Shakespeare’, ‘buildings with domes’, ‘world maps’ and beautiful valleys. How do these contrast with the world of these children?
(āĻļ্ā§°েāĻŖীāĻোāĻ াā§° āĻĻেā§ąাāϞāĻŦোā§° 'āĻļ্āĻŦেāĻāĻāĻāĻĒীāϝ়েā§°', 'āĻāĻŽ্āĻŦুāĻāĻĨāĻা āĻ

Answer:- They beautifully contrast with the world of these children. These pictures mean beauty, progress, prosperity and well-being. The pictures of ‘Shakespeare’, ‘buildings with domes’ and ‘world maps’ have no meaning and purpose for them. But the present condition of these slum children is miserable. They live in grim poverty.

Answer:- The poet wants these children to be removed from their dirty surroundings. New and open surrounding would provide ideal conditions for their learning. They will then land in a world full of progress and prosperity. There will be no social injustice.

SHORT ANSWER TYPE QUESTIONS
1. What is the message that Stephen Spender wants to give through the poem ‘An Elementary School Classroom in a Slum’?
(āώ্āĻিāĻĢেāύ āϏ্āĻĒেāĻŖ্āĻĄাā§°ে 'āĻāύ āĻāϞিāĻŽেāĻŖ্āĻā§°ী āϏ্āĻুāϞ āĻ্āϞাāĻā§°ুāĻŽ āĻāύ āĻ āϏ্āϞাāĻŽ' āĻāĻŦিāϤাāĻোā§° āĻā§°িāϝ়āϤে āĻি āĻŦাā§°্āϤা āĻĻিāĻŦ āĻŦিāĻাā§°ে?)
Answer:- In ‘An Elementary School Classroom in a Slum’, Stephen Spender deals with the theme of social injustice and class inequalities. There are two different worlds. Art, culture and literature have no relevance and value to slum children. They live in dark, narrow, cramped holes and lanes. Unless the gap between the two worlds is abridged, there can’t be any real progress or development anywhere in this world.

2. Crushed under poverty, disease and miseries do the little school children of slums have any dreams or hopes. What are they?

Answer:- The children living in slums have to live in most miserable and sub-human conditions. The burden of poverty and disease crushes their bodies. They still have dreams. Their future is foggy and uncertain. They have kept their hopes alive. They dream of open seas and green fields. They dream of the games that a squirrel plays on the trees.

3. “So blot their maps with slums as big as doom”, says Stephen Spender. What does the poet want to convey?
(āώ্āĻিāĻĢেāύ āϏ্āĻĒেāĻŖ্āĻĄাā§°ে āĻāϝ়, "āĻāϤিāĻে āϤেāĻঁāϞোāĻā§° āĻŽাāύāĻিāϤ্ā§°āĻŦোā§° āϧ্āĻŦংāϏ⧰ āĻĻā§°ে āĻĄাāĻā§° āĻŦāϏ্āϤিā§° āϏৈāϤে āĻāϞāĻ্āĻিāϤ āĻā§°āĻ"। āĻāĻŦিāϝ়ে āĻি āĻ'āĻŦ āĻŦিāĻাā§°ে?)
Answer:- The maps of the world are drawn by the rich and the mighty. They divide and barter it at will. The slum children have no place in their world. They live in dingy and dirty slums. Stephen Spender is a poet of protest. He wants that the world of the rich and the mighty be blotted with dirty slums and be converted into a living hell.

Answer:- Two worlds exist simultaneously. They are quite opposite and incompatible to each other. The world of slum children is the world of poverty, dirt and exploitation. The gap between them must be abridged. Governors, teachers and powerful persons can play an important role in it. They can help in removing social injustice and class inequalities. All good things of life, the sea, The sun and the fields should be within the reach of slum-children.

Answer:- Stephen Spender concludes the poem with a beautiful metaphor . ‘History is theirs whose language is the sun.’ This world is not ruled by the dumb and driven people. Only those who speak with confidence, power and authority are heard and obeyed. Their language must have the warmth and power of the sun.

6. Why does Spender call Shakespeare wicked and the map a bad example?

Answer:- Spender calls Shakespeare ‘wicked’ because Shakespeare holds no interest and serves no purpose to the slum children. The world of beauty and romance is irrelevant to them. The map of the world drawn and bartered by the mighty and the rich has no relevance to them. They are not a part of it.
