Slumdog Millionaire

A Mumbai teen grew up in a slum, obviously, we can figure out what he will be in the rest of his life. He may become a worker, beggar, or even the worst-a criminal. However, he does not influenced by his surroundings or the entire society. Then, he goes to jeopardy because of a girl he is deeply in love. Everyone is laughing at him behind his back. When he finally got a chance to win the championship, he was accused of cheating on the game show. No one believes that a small fry like him can figure out the correct answer to those difficult questions. People are thinking that “How in the world he could get so much money?! He is just a small potato! It’s sheer luck!” Nevertheless, wisdom is nothing to do with our identity. This is no doubt for those people who grow up in the same area. It’s the real description for them. The man has seen much of his life.

Through the whole story, we can learn that there are some social issues need to be solved in India, especially for the teens who live in slums. The children don’t have money to go to school; moreover, it’s hard for them to feed themselves. Every year, about two hundred million people suffer from hunger. Most of them died of hunger or disease. Although the government is trying to make improvements, it’s not enough. I think if we pay more attention to this distant country, this situation will be changed. Maybe someday people in India don’t have to worry about the food, and the children can receive education. I hope it will come true in the near future.
