This shows the time period when the story happens.
During that period, there were political changes and limitations in countries like Tanzania.
This affects Aloo's decisions and why studying abroad was hard.
Evidence : This newspaper-style headline isn't from the story itself , but it kinda reflects the kind of real-world news that we might have seen in the 1970s

- This shows the place where the story is set .

- ⁠The main character, Aloo, lives in Tanzania with his family

- ⁠The country's location helps understand the cultural and social environment around him

- ⁠Evidence : page 32 , line 1 ; We moved to a part of town called Upanga, which was a very quiet place . it is where Aloo receives the letter and talks about going to India or America . it shows the contrast between home and the outside world
