Read the following quote by an American author, E. E. Hale. “I am only one but, I am one. I cannot do everything but I can do something. And I will not let what I cannot do interfere with what I do.” Bholi’s evolution from a ‘dumb cow’ to a ‘masterpiece’ supports the given quote. Justify.

Answer»

The evolution process supported by examples from the text: 

- Dumb cow---- people’s perception of her lack of sense, stammering which kept her quiet and submissive demeanour, most of the times 

- Going to school----guidance of the teacher and education, overcame stammering- instilled confidence and a sense of self-esteem 

- Did not succumb to the greedy demands of the prospective groom and spoke out. 

Conclusion: 

This journey of Bholi’s growth clearly showcases the idea of being an individual and not being exploited by people or circumstances. Instead, evolves to being a person being proactive and contributing to the wellbeing of others around 

(which is exactly what she decides to do)
