The narrative starts with a miss named Lila walking on the beach while believing about her suffering life and look up toing everything around her. Lila was the eldest of three childs. She had two younger sisters and a twelvemonth younger brother. Lila was n’t like any other child ; she dropped out of school and worked to supply money for her household ( same thing for his brother Hari ) . They had a ill female parent who was to hebdomad to travel and a male parent who did nil but slumber and acquire rummy. Hari ( Lila ‘s brother ) was working one twenty-four hours on the Fieldss when a friend of his stopped by and began speaking about the mills that were traveling to be built in their small town. These mills will ease everything. Hari thought that possibly he might acquire a opportunity of working at that place. But how to work in a mill when he ‘s non even educated. Lila and Hari talked about their household state of affairs and the fact that they are running out of money and no one knew what else to make.
The chapter continues as Bella and Kamal came back from school and when to the beach to roll up Molluscs for dinner. At the beach there were female parents, grandmas and childs working with love unlike Bella and Kamal. Peoples at that place started dish the dirting about the rich household as they walked by. They talked about their countless fishes and boats.

Chapter two.
The Chapter started with Lila who was at the market traveling to purchase some place supplies with the money that she had. A new character got introduced to the narrative, her name is Mina she is Lila ‘s friend and it seemed that she does n’t populate under hapless and suffering conditions like Lila, her household seems richer we saw that when Mina went to the market with Lila and she bought hair merchandises and many other things she did n’t look to care that much about the money that she spent. In the mean while Biju ‘s boat was being built and thanks to Lila and Mina ‘s conversation the reader now knows that he is rich because he was a runner.
A conversation between Kamal, Bella and Hari was heldaˆ¦ Hari was speaking to his sisters how rich people were smuggler and he clarified that all he wants is to go rich even if it means traveling off or even going a runner himself.
The DaSilva ‘s are a really rich household from Bombay who had bought a house by the sea in Thul. They came every now and so to pass clip near the sea. Hari was really busy since their reaching because Mr.DaSilva charged him of some jobs and he paid him ( That means that when they came Hari sort of had a impermanent occupation ) . Even Lila was in charge of house work, she swept the floors, cleaned around, tidied up the placeaˆ¦ They seemed nice they even gave Bella and Kamal some old playthings and Sweets. When they were approximately to go forth, Mr.DaSilva asked Hari if his male parent might be interested of acquiring a occupation as guarding at that place house, but unhappily when he met him he insulted him and refused to give him the occupation because of his bibulous attitude and life style.
Harry was really affected and defeated with the conversation and the insularity of Mr.DaSilva. He went to hold a walk and there he met a adult male whom had a talk with about the mills that were being built. This adult male was responsible of the mills and started speaking about how large they will be even bigger than the 1s near the metropolis. I think he made it clear that he wo n’t allow the unemployed of Thul work at that place because they were uneducatedaˆ¦ Hari was sort of discouraged and he went back place.
In the terminal of the chapter Lila, Bella and Kamal were sitting all together near the fire in the dark, the looked sad and gloomy. But Why?

Chapter three:
In the stoping of chapter two, Hari walked in on his sisters and found them in a glooming temper and they seemed unhappy. This chapter is the account of the ground of their unhappiness and their discerning attitude. It all started one forenoon when Lila found her female parent worse than what she had been and realized that something was incorrect, she had really high febrility. Lila was hopeless and did n’t cognize what to make ; she hardly had any money to name a physician ( they lived far off likely in the metropolis ) or even take her to the infirmary. So the lone think she thought of was directing her younger sisters next door to inquire their neighbour if she could assist their female parent. But their dry and sadist neighbour sent them alternatively to a charming adult male to assist acquiring the evil liquors off from their female parent. Later that flushing with harry non back Lila, Kamal and Bella were flagellums because of the past events and it got even worst when one of the three drunken brothers junctured and came over to inquire for money bluffly. A A He frightened them and mocked them ( when Lila told him she had no money and he was dry about it “ Like father, like girl. A household of prevaricators, no goods ” page 85 ) . But his female parent who was their following door neighbour interfered and made him travel away.A

Biju ‘s boat was about ready to travel out and get down seafaring in the broad unfastened sea until an unknown metropolis adult male came and told him that Thul was useless and fish are shriveling and if he wanted to catch some fish he would hold to take his boat and canvas far off because there was no fish any longer on their land. The reader knows small about that unusual adult male, but the storyteller identifies some traits like the fact that he worked and was sort of in charge of the mills that were being built. He besides knew a batch about the hereafter of Thul he even shared it with Biju and the people who were environing him ( like that they would hold to sell their land so that the authorities can construct many mills and there is nil the villagers can make approximately because no 1 will listenaˆ¦ ) . When Hari got back from acquiring the ice for his female parent he heard shrieks and cries from their hut, it was his sisters. They were shouting and howling aloud because their Canis familiaris pinto had been poisoned. The misss believe that it was their neighbour ( one of the three bibulous brothers ) who is in charge of their Canis familiaris ‘s decease “ he ‘s the 1 that poisoned him ” ; because when passed by the other twenty-four hours he threatened them of killing their Canis familiaris ( taking retaliation ) if they did non pay the money their male parent owed him.

In the meanwhile work forces of the small town were headed to Bombay to protest and seek to salvage their land by do an understanding. Not much happened in this chapter in Thul merely Biju ‘s boat was waiting for the tide to come up and it seemed that it was n’t coming up shortly. They waited and Biju was ferocious, eager and impatient. And unfortunately the tide did n’t come up every bit high as he wanted so that he can lunch his boat. So the lone thing he thought of was get downing the engines manually and they did n’t give up easy “ exactly Biju ” they kept on seeking several times. After many yearss of working and seeking it eventually started and sailed thanks to Biju who was ever angry because of his workers failure of get downing the boat.

The chapter starts with Hari making Rewas and from there he took a coach with aliens who were heading in his same way and went to Bombay. On his manner he was hungry, baffled and dying each minute he got closer to Bombay. He did n’t anticipate that they would be many people traveling at that place to protest ; even Adarkar the organiser from Alibagh stood at the caput of the stepss steering the crowd so they wo n’t lose each other in this large metropolis filled with people. Farmers, fishermen shouted and sang with their commandments and Adarkar did n’t halt reminding them why they come all this manner for. Hari did n’t halt oppugning himself if he was ready for this new life and he did n’t cognize if by coming to Bombay and go forthing his household behind he had done something incorrect. He was confused.
Bombay was a surprise for Hari, he did n’t conceive of it that busy and crowded. He could n’t believe their busy life style and the autos, busse, taxis that he saw. The writer identified the fact that Hari does n’t cognize much about the metropolis when he saw the traffic visible radiations and did n’t cognize what to make.

Hari was lost and did n’t cognize what to make in Bombay. For hours he wandered around the Black Horse, non make bolding to go forth because he had no other topographic point to travel.
