I am still reading Slumdog Millionaire. I am at the point in the book where Ram has gotten interviewed after getting arrested on the basis of cheating. The people that arrested him are so keen on proving that he cheated that they have even tortured him [thrusting his head into a bucket of water and holding it there until his lungs are about to explode] (Swarup 12). All of his bad luck changes when a woman named Smita Shah bust into the interrogation room. Smita is a lawyer who read about his arrests in the paper who saw it and knew that she had to help him out. Smita is now about to listen to Ram’s incredible story and why he knew all of the answers to the questions on the game show without proper education. I think that people should not be so quick to judge poor people because, even though going to school is great, life can teach you a lot about things and you can gain great wisdom and knowledge through life’s hardships.
