    Summary:

    This story is about Ishaan Awasthi, a young boy who has a problem coping up with his study
    because of his dyslexic disorder. There is an instance where one of the teacher told Ishaan to
    read from a book but he cannot read because the letter where dancing. Ishaan also struggles in
    math and when he wrote, there are several letters that are reversed. Most of the time, he is
    just staring at things and his attention is somewhere else, mostly thinking and imagining things
    like magical stuffs, land filled with color and animated animals. When Ishaan commits a
    mistake, his classmates or friends will laugh at him or shout on him like what his Father and
    Mother does. Because of his poor performance in school, he is at risk in repeating his 3rd grade
    again. He always was daydreaming at school so it resulted in poor grades. Because of the lack of
    encouragement from his parents and othes, ishaan started ignoring his homework ane one time
    cut a class. One day, Ishaan dad discovered a forge excuse letter that was written by Ishaan’s
    brother. His parents met with his teacher, they discover his failed exams and report card and
    they also suggest that Ishaan may have a problem. Ishaan parents meet his professors in school
    they told everything about him, also the failed exams and report card, they also told them that
    he might have a problem. Because Ishaan’s father was successful executive and his brother is
    always top on the class, he expects the same with Ishaan. His parent decided to send Ishaan to
    a boarding school, hoping everything will change and that his behavior will change but it just
    made it worst. Because of the strict discipline in the boarding school and because they don’t
    know what Ishaan’s real problem, it made him depressed and frightened making him to think
    suicide.

    One day, a substitute teacher named Ram Shankar Nikumbh came. He is also a instructor at The
    Tulips School for young children with developmental disabilities. His Teaching method was
    unorthodox compare to the teachers who is terror and strict. Nikumbh notice that ishaan is not
    participating in all the activities and he is always sad. Nikumbh check all his work and notebook,
    he discover that Ishaan is suffering from dyslexia. Nikumbh visited Ishaan’s parent and explain
    why ishaan acts like a moron. Nikumbh, told them what he had observe about Ishaan’s
    everyday experiences and that he might have other conditions. Ishaan’s father think its mental
    retardation but Nikumbh criticized him, he explain that his son is above average and processed
    things and information differently from other persons. Nikumbh also said that Awasthi failed to
    understand Ishaan, resulting a low self-esteem of the child. Nikumbh decided to talk to the
    school's principal and have his permission to become Ishaan's tutor. Nikumbh attempts to
    improve Ishaan's reading and writing by using techniques developed by dyslexia specialists.
    Ishaan soon improves, he develops an interest in language and mathematics, and his grades
    improve. At the near end of the school year, Nikumbh organises an art fair for the staff and
    students. Ishaan, with his creative style, is declared the winner and Nikumbh, who paints
    Ishaan's portrait. Nikumbh was hired as the school's permanent art teacher. And when Ishaan
    parents meet his teacher at the last day of school they thank him a lot for the changed he gave
    to Ishaan.

    Analitical point of view:

    Each and every one of us has different talents that are hiding, and each one of us has our own
    way of learning and processing things. We must also learn to respect and value others by
    helping others who is in need. Because of lack appreciation and understanding for others, some
    people tend to discriminate special person that cannot fulfill the necessary task. We should be
    careful in our actions and the words we use because this might have a big impact on an
    individual, especially those who suffer from a disorder such a dyslexic person and other
    disorders.
