“Women use too many electric things”. What prompts the narrator to say so? How does the use of modern appliances affect ecology?


Women have to discharge their responsibilities for their household affairs. Their role is just like the captain and the players of a team. They have varieties of work to perform. In course of discharging their duties, they have to take the help of several electrical tools and appliances, such as the electric mixer, the grinder, the washing machine, electric iron, the toaster, tailoring (sewing) machine, fruit juicer, electric heater, electric oven, refrigerator, etc. As the narrator observes his mother using the electric mixer, It prompts him to say so. Modem appliances affect ecology in many ways. Their function generates air, water, and soil pollution. The polluted water and the wastes come out from the washeries of factories and mills roll down to the river, forming water and soil pollution. The smoke and dust coming from the chimneys and other sources of the heavy plant, small factories and even from the residential houses pollute the environment.
