Question

How does the director describe what a home was? why effect does his description have on the students?

Answer 1

The director describes what a home was by “A few small rooms, stiflingly over-inhabited by a man, by a periodically teeming woman, by a rabble of boys and girls of all ages. No air, no space; an under sterilized prison; darkness, disease, and smells. (The Controller's evocation was so vivid that one of the boys, more sensitive than the rest, turned pale at the mere description and was on the point of being sick.)”  This effect a dark depressing place.
