The Kid

Name of Student:
The Kid.
Edna leaves the charity hospital with a new-born baby and on her way home, she passes near a church where a wedding was taking place. She abandons the baby with a note inside a vehicle and then she went to some quite place to plan suicide. It is ironical and a lot of satire is depicted, that on such a good day when she has given birth and someone else is getting married, that she decides to end her life. The vehicle carrying the baby is stolen and the thieves abandoned the baby near a garbage collection point. Charlie came across the baby and took him. Edna contacted a doctor who recognized the note which had some information about the kid and the doctor reported the case to the authorities who came and took away the kid from Charlie. The Irony is that Charlie stole the kid before they arrived at the Orphanage and took him to a flophouse.

Sarcasm is depicted by the woman, because even after becoming rich, she started doing charity jobs in the poor neighborhood. It is ironical that, mother met her child but she never recognized her child.
Poverty is portrayed by the welfare workers, which was also a part of Chaplin's lifestyle when he was young. This is a mockery of the Welfare office, because the welfare workers are supposed to lead a comfortable lifestyle for them to take care of the less privileged in the society, but what we see is a group of workers who are struggling to make ends meet. Mildred who was Chaplin`s wife conceived a paralyzed child, who passed-on three days later. Chaplin experienced a lot of trauma, but ten days later, He was interviewing babies at his studio. Chaplin opposed the move by social workers to take the boy to the orp...
