Homeless Bird Essay
Koly in this story learns how to read and write. Originally she was kept from learning how to read and write that was because she needed to do her jobs. Also many girls in India did not go to school and learn how to read and write they just learned how to do the jobs correctly. I think Sassur agreed to teach Koly how to read and write because he was a teacher and he teaches that. Also I think that is because he is a teacher but none of his students respect him or listen to him, but Koly was determined to learn how to read and write. I think that is what drove Sassur to think and say to himself “this is a girl who wants to learn and I can teach her.” Koly learning how to read and right effected her life in so many different ways. A fews way are when Sassur died Koly got his books and was able to read them. Also she was also able to teach other people to read and write like Raji. This let Koly take care of herself. So she could survive and communicate in a different way. Also since Koly taught Raji how to read and write when they were away from each other they could communicate by writing letters. Koly’s life was affected in many different ways because she knew how to read and write.
