- Analyze Chandni's Choice:
- Why do you think Chandni chose freedom over security, even knowing the risk? What does this tell you about her character?
Detailed Explanation
In this chunk, we are invited to think critically about the character of Chandni from the story "Chandni". We need to analyze why she would prefer freedom, despite being aware of the potential dangers it brings. This question encourages us to view her not just as a goat wishing to escape but as a symbol of the universal desire for freedom.
By reflecting on her choice, we can explore ideas such as courage and the intrinsic value of liberty, leading us to consider what it means to truly live β a concept that many struggle with in real life.
Examples & Analogies
Imagine a bird kept in a cage β it has food and safety, but it longs for the open sky. If one day that bird decides to escape, knowing it could face challenges like predators, it highlights the deep desire for freedom. Just like the bird, Chandni chooses what she believes represents true living, even at the risk of danger.
