Read the excerpt from Free the Children. "School," I had asked him, "would you like to go to school?" "What is school? What is it like? What do people do there?" "What do you hope for the future?" I said. "I will do the same job. I will work to pay the debt. I will work to eat. One day I will take a loan from the owner. My children will have to pay." Why does the author most likely include this interaction?

Answer:

The correct answer is that in this excpert the author is including this interaction because he is trying to utilize a simple activity like going to school to look for a deeper meaning of life. He could be using this as a sort of a metaphor for people to understand that a simple thing an be come something so complicated for the rest of their lives.
