Slum Dog Millionaire



On the second evaluation we have read "Slum Dog Millionaire". In the following posts I'll summarize all the chapters of these amazing book.


A summary:
The story of Jamal Malik, an 18 year-old orphan from the slums of Mumbai, who is about to experience the biggest day of his life. With the whole nation watching, he is just one question away from winning a staggering 20 million rupees on India's "Kaun Banega Crorepati?" (2000) (Who Wants To Be A Millionaire?) But when the show breaks for the night, police arrest him on suspicion of cheating; how could a street kid know so much? Desperate to prove his innocence, Jamal tells the story of his life in the slum where he and his brother grew up, of their adventures together on the road, of vicious encounters with local gangs, and of Latika, the girl he loved and lost. Each chapter of his story reveals the key to the answer to one of the game show's questions. Each chapter of Jamal's increasingly layered story reveals where he learned the answers to the show's seemingly impossible quizzes. But one question remains a mystery: what is this young man with no apparent desire for riches really doing on the game show? When the new day dawns and Jamal returns to answer the final question, the Inspector and sixty million viewers are about to find out. At the heart of its storytelling lies the question of how anyone comes to know the things they know about life and love

  1. This is the summary of the film, not the book. Regarding your answers, the plot was well understood but your answers are very brief and sometimes not developed enough. Probably because you did it in a rush and while you were supposed to be at school! Moreover, some information missing. Poor presentation.Different font sizes, one almost illegible. 6. You can do better than this!
