Class 12 English Unit 15: Critical Thinking

 

Critical Thinking

a.      The writer seems to believe that rural life is better than urban life. Do you agree with him?

I wholeheartedly agree with the writer's perspective. He appears to believe in the benefits of rural living, as he is fed up with the frantic lifestyle in Kathmandu and wants to experience the actual beauty of Bandipur, a place where ancient Nepal is still alive. Because of this, he and his friends go there to get some peace of mind. 

According to the author, food is less expensive in rural locations than it is in cities, making it possible for a person to feed his or her family properly. Rural locations also have lower crime and traffic rates. Rural residents run their businesses, depend on local food and services, and enjoy beautiful landscapes. We can live there with all the open space and pure air.

b.     Is the writer’s way of looking at Bandipur just a gaze of an urban tourist? Why? Why not?

No, the writer’s view of Bandipur is not that of an urban tourist. He is fascinated by the indigenous customs, mannerisms, and cuisine. He and his friends take a moment to look at the beautiful things in the area as if they were in a place called paradise. Bandipur is a place where people go to relax and unwind from their busy lives. It is a city that is pollution-free, traditional, and has a lot of different cultures. One can see old palaces and temples, go on safaris, ride elephants, and more. People not only go there to have fun, but also to get some peace too.
