Question

In at least seventy-five words, describe how Gandhi felt about his impending wedding. Use details from the text to support your answer.

Answer 1

Gandhi felt as though he didn't understand the concept of getting married at thirteen. Getting married interested him as a child, but later was ashamed, wishing it never happened. As a child, he was excited to have new clothes and a new friend to play with. Gandhi fought to have new laws made to be against child marriages. He thought this because as he got older, he started to understand the blame he had for his dad, for having him get married at such an early age.

Answer 2

Gandhi was a mere child then. He was never oriented about the details and even the to-do's of the wedding. It was only during several preparations that he and his brothers knew about was coming for them. The wedding amused him as a child and carnal desires were to set later (which he described as shameful and did not deserve to be recorded).

As the wedding was about to happen, on their travel to the place where the event should take place, an accident came along the way which injured his father severely. Despite this tragedy, his father bravely faced this challenge for his sons. He could still remember the roles of his father during the event.

Just like any other man on his wedding day, he too was very eager. He claimed that everything that happened on that day was right, he thought.
