• In one pivotal scene, the show’s host tells Jamal his own story about coming from the slums. He then gives Jamal the wrong answer written on the mirror in the rest room. Why did he give Jamal the wrong answer? What did Jamal do?

From the first moment in the game, the host starts discouraging Jamal by giving a lot of importance to his origins as a slumdog, and I think he gives Jamal the wrong answer because the host feels envy of the lucky and the money that Jamal's earning, or even angry because he did not have the same lucky as the host, maybe the host had being through a lot and it makes him angry that just by ansewring simple questions he's changing his life into the millionaire that costed to much for the host. At the end Jamal didn't trust the host and went with his own knowledge.

• Describe how loss, chance, luck, suffering, and street smarts are also characters behind the scenes. The film explores gain and loss side by side. Triumphs are tempered with loss. Where do you see this evident?

Since the beggining of the movie, you realize that you are not grateful enough of what you have, because you are able to see the quality of life that people who live in the slums have, you start to think and aprecciate all that your parents have given to you. On event that I notice a lost and then a gain is when a group of people start atacking the slums because of the religion they practice, Jamal and Salim experince the loss of their mother, but gaining a new friends, Lathika, rescuing her.

• The chaos and the constant noise and motion of Mumbai at the center of the film, (supported by a fabulous soundtrack) are contrasted with a deeper silent seeking. Describe what each of the main characters is seeking.

Jamal is seeking for Lathika, and Salim is looking for Jamal. All the noises and the traffic in Mumbai just makes the seeking more exciting with a tocuh of suspense.
