Lakshmi's Fantasy & reality

Lakshmi's fantasy of what the city would be like is really different from reality. It's so because she imagines gold tin roofs.On page 87 "There are roofs made of metal scraps, but no roofs of gold." This shows that everything Lakshmi has image the city would be like was just a fantasy. Also because it was a fantasy this gave Lakshmi have fear of the city.
