1. Early in the film we see the young Jamal dive into a latrine pit to steal a glimpse at a visiting movie star. How does his single-mindedness to see this movie star reveal his determination? What other examples do you see in the film of his determination?
when young Jamal jumped into a latrine pit this proved that his single determination knows no bounds his bravery is as strong as his stomach this is further proves his eminence bravery when Jamal went back to save Latika from Monman despite knowing that Monman would still be looking for them even though his and Salim`s life where at risk the entire time he persevered.
2. Compare and contrast three pivotal choices or decisions made by Jamal and Salim. How do their choices affect their respective paths in life or “destinies”?
The first pivotal moment would be when Salim and Jamal decided to go with Monman and work for him, The second would be when Salim and Jamal ran from Monman to keep him from blinding Jamal in the escape Latika was left behind, the third time would be when Jamal returned to save Latika.| Add caption |
Police Inspector: Doctors… Lawyers.. Never get past 60 thousand rupees. He’s on 6 million. [pause] What can a slumdog possibly know?
Jamal Malik: [quietly] The answers. I knew the answers.
Discuss the irony in the film that Jamal “knows too much” and is suspected of cheating. Discuss the irony that in the end, his poverty may make him rich. What point is film making? What is real wealth?
The irony comes in the fact that the only reasons he knows the answers is because he was a slumdog and didn't have a normal or healthy life.

4. Describe how loss, chance, luck, suffering, and street smarts are also characters behind the scenes. The film explores gain and loss side by side. Triumphs are tempered with loss. Where do you see this evident?
because all of Jamals life these forces are present awful part of life that most children shouldn't be forced to deal with.

in this quote Marilyn Manson express how this world tends to turn on the people in it.
Much like the life of Jamal and Salim with their dream always ultimately
being destroyed.
