A.seek his or her own happiness.


In the excerpt the speaker is talking about how she is not a servant, tool, bandage or sacrifice for anyone else. She is not the one to provide anyone happiness especially at the cost of her own. We see this focus on the speaker's happiness in the last line of the excerpt when it says "This miracle of me is mine to own an keep" In this line the speaker takes responsibility for her own happiness, and in turn shows that happiness is the responsibility of each individual.

How is the cultural and social separation
Dimas [21]

<u>Answer</u>:

The cultural and social separation  between the narrator and the Cabuliwallah  best revealed through the description of the  narrator's occupation and that of  the Cabuliwallah.

<u>Explanation</u>:

The "Kabuliwala" written in 1957 by the renowned poet and the patriotist Rabindranath Tagore best explains the human relationships and the effect it had on people during the various phases of time. Rahmat, the Kabuliwala, is a fruit vendor who visits Calcutta to sell his products and thereby he befriends a girl called Mini.

The cultural and the social separation between the narrator and Rahmat was best revealed through their professions where Rahmat is a Vendor who travelled across cities to earn some profit whereas the narrator is a writer. Rahmat wears sturdy loose robes and a high turban which makes Mini to think that he is someone who kidnaps babies for fun. Mini's initial thought is indeed not great. This shows that the girl is not familiar with these kind of people which clearly explains the social separation which existed in their society. The description of the narrator at the start of the story also explains their cultural separation.
