When arjun and thambi tell their parents that they do not want to work on the farm, their parents are disappointed. in at least 150 words, discuss the reasons why they do not want to work on the farm and what theme is represented by this decision.

They are uncomfortable and do not feel their safety is the top priority there. Things seem to be going well at home. The family is able to live: Rukmani’s sons dutifully bring her home their rupee per day, and Nathan continues to work the land. Ruku is able to put food aside for her family. She does, however, finally resign herself to the fact that she cannot save up for another dowry for Ira.Things take a turn for the worse when Ruku and Nathan visit Arjun and Thambi at the tannery. The parents learn that the workers (including the boys) are creating strife.Arjun and Thambi explain that they’re being punished for agitating for better wages. The boys add that they are only doing what’s right: they’re thinking of their own livelihoods and the desire to start their own families.

The correct answer (sample response) is:

Olaudah Equiano was terrified when he first saw the slave ship. His fear of the future was so horrible, he passed out cold. He knew by looking at his captors that he was never going to get home again. Because they looked so different than he and the other enslaved people looked, he knew what his future held. Even the conditions aboard the ship were horrible. The smells were awful and made Olaudah Equiano feel sick. When he refused to eat, he was beaten.
