Hello can you guys help me with a 3-minute presentation about the next question? thanks a lot !What does ashok means with : half-baked and how does Balram go about educating himself? What does he learn?

As for the second part of your question, Balram is highly intelligent and, even though he is forced to leave school only a few years into his education, he continues to educate himself by observing the world around him and listening to the conversations of others.

By "half-baked," Ashok means that he and many others in his country have only been half-educated. Their given a few years of learning, just enough to spark their curiosity and desire to learn, and then they're told they won't be taught anything else. It's like a "half-baked" meal...... cooked on the outside and frozen on the inside.

thanks a lot!!!

No problem dude.
