Read the excerpt from Free the Children. "School," I had asked him, "would you like to go to school?" "What is school? What is it like? What do people do there?" "What do you hope for the future?" I said. "I will do the same job. I will work to pay the debt. I will work to eat. One day I will take a loan from the owner. My children will have to pay." Why does the author most likely include this interaction?

The correct answer is that in this excpert the author is including this interaction because he is trying to utilize a simple activity like going to school to look for a deeper meaning of life. He could be using this as a sort of a metaphor for people to understand that a simple thing an be come something so complicated for the rest of their lives.
