Lakshmi's fantasy of the city differs from the reality because she expected a rich and golden city but instead she saw a rundown,poor city. On page 87, Lakshmi says," There are roofs made of metal scraps, held down with the soft black wheels from cars. There are roofs of heavy paper, piled with bricks and boots and pots and pans." This shows that this village in India is somewhat like Lakshmi's house. Lakshmi made her expectations too high and got disappointed in the end. Also, you shouldn't trust everything that people tell you.
