Question
How is the future of the children of an elementary school in a slum depicted by poet Stephen Spender?
Solution
Stephen Spender paints the school children of the slum shut up in catacombs. In the elementary school of the slum their future is dark and misty because of the slum environment. They have nothing new and encouraging in their lives. They are trapped in their miseries of despair, diseases and utter poverty. In these narrow streets their fate is sealed. Their future is dark like an endless night.
