Chapter Nine: A Love Story

-Ram and Nita fell in Love. But why could they not get married?

Because Nita was already engaged with another man, and she could not escape with Ram because her sister tried once with her partner and her father got very angry. And also because of the money, because Nita was engaged with a rich, famous man, and Ram had nothing but a few money left.

-Nita is engaged to a rich and successful man who will pay her family 40,000 rupees. Do you think arranged marriages are a good idea? Absolutely not. If you are not in love with the person that you want to spend the rest of your life, then you are not living a happy life because you are spending your time with someone that doesn´t love you and so you are.

-Why do you think Swapna Devi said this about his son: “perhaps death will be the best thing for him”
Because he has a disease, and she doesn´t want to take care of him, because in India and in a lot of countries, there are prejudices in this kind of topic. I can´t believe that a mother could even think of not loving her child because he has an illness.

-In this chapter we see Thomas is really generous. Why? Because he decided to gave all of his money to a strange person that was in the hospital because his son was very ill and he needed forty thousand rupees to save his life. At first Ram, said no because he needed the money to be with his love, Nita. But then he realised that the man with the child, deserved the money more than him.  

 

-Why is this chapter particularly important? Because then, when Ram was in the programme and he didn´t know the answer to the question asked, he decided to called to the English teacher that he gave the money in the hospital. Luckily, he answered the correct one and he passed to the next round of questions.

-How was the man of the hospital able to pay Thomas back? By answering the question  in order to get the final prize of one billion rupees, which is more than paying forty thousand rupees back.
