What do you think the author, Apirana Taylor, wanted us to understand about experiencing different cultures?
Apirana Taylor describes how India and its people are beautiful.
Does Apirana Taylor encourage us to appreciate people who are different to us? How so?
Apirana Taylor encourages us to appreciate others who are different to us because in this text, it shows poor people, beggars and that's the way how they would survive. Their life is hard because they never know when they could get crushed by a car.
The way to appreciate them is to show kindness to them, respect them, build their happiness - this will improve their self-esteem and relationships between them.
