Q 12

How are Young people and their ideals presented in two stories in the collection? How far do you identify with these young people?


-Evening Under frangipani

At one level at touching love story that *bemoans the "barriers of pride that isolates each and every human being", the story also involves the racial prejudice that keeps two people apart from each other.


-Hamid and The Hand of Fate


The tale of Hamid whose life is changed forever by an accident which claims his right arm. A simple young man, Hamid decides to be patient and accepts his fate stoically. This decision does not prevent him from sensing that people around him are merely making use of him, hoping to get money from him.
