Question

2. what was Swami's reaction when his father asked to Sheep alone in his office
​

Answer 1

Answer: Father wanted Swami to grow up to be brave and not behave like a coward. So, he forced him to sleep all by himself in the office room. Swami was however terrified of the dark and he thought of all the stories about ghosts and devils that he had heard. Father could have first asked Swami to sleep by himself in a corner of the hall and not banished him to sleep in the dusty, dark room. Swami was racked by nightmares and was in a state of total shock and fear. I feel Father should have let Swami down easily and not been so harsh with him. He should have tried to understand Swami’s fear and be more supportive of him.
