3. Working with "The Undeveloped Heart"

• Before you start discussing the text, make sure you know what the words Anglo-Saxon and Anglo-Indian mean.
• Make a characterization of Ronny Heaslop (son) and Mrs. Moore (mother). 
• E. M. Forster was a humanist. He often wrote about themes like irreconcilability (uforenelighed) of class differences and sexuality, but how are those evident in this text?

Make sure you substantiate your points with evidence found in the text.
