Contrasting Lives of Two Friends

This illustration was created for an article about a middle-class girl and her poor classmate. It shows the girl in a car, holding roasted chicken she bought from a street stall. Outside, her classmate from a broken family is working hard selling the chicken, wearing worn-out clothes. Through this experience, the girl begins to understand why her classmate always has filthy clothes and a bad smell. She starts to feel empathy for him, realizing the struggles he faces and why he is often bullied by other classmates.
