Look at this cartoon by R.K. Laxman. Read the sentence given below the cartoon. Discuss the following questions with your partner. • What is it about? • Do you find it funny? If so, why? • Do you think a cartoon is a serious drawing? Why or why not?   Get on with your homework-the sums, the composition, history, geography, chemistry, physics-and stop reading The Law Against Child Labour !

Answer:

• It is about the homework of a student he gets in school. • It is absolutely funny because it shows the unwise pattern of our    education. It ridicules our education system.   • A cartoon, I think, is a serious drawing. It is because it tries to expose the bitter truth of our day to day life-in   a humorous way.
