Answers
Answer:
Despite this Swami is adamant that he will justify his father’s letter though again he does not know what his father has written. If anything Swami has allowed his imagination run wild when he has described Samuel to his father. Though it is true that Swami is caned by Samuel later on in the story this is more a case of Swami provoking Samuel in order that Samuel is expelled from his job and to justify bringing the letter to the headmaster.
The fact that Swami pities Samuel may be important as it suggests that Swami is battling with guilt. However rather than admit that he himself is in the wrong he does everything he can to provoke Samuel. If Swami had stayed silent in Samuel’s class he would not have been caned. He was given sufficient warning by Samuel yet he continued to obstruct the class by shouting. This may be important as it suggests that Swami is stubborn. Though he knows the path he is travelling is the wrong path he still nonetheless does everything he can to provoke Samuel. It might also be important to remember that Samuel didn’t have to hit Swami with the cane. He had other options. He could have told Swami to stand in the corner of the classroom or to leave the room. So in some ways Swami may feel justified by the fact that he has been caned by Samuel.
It is also noticeable that Swami has not done his homework. This could be important as it can suggest that Swami is not dedicated to his studies. He would much rather stay at home than go to school. It is also noticeable that when Swami lies to his mother about having a headache she immediately believes him yet his father knows that Swami is lying. It is as though there is a battle of wits between father and son. A battle that Swami eventually loses because he knows that he is lying about not only having a headache but about Samuel too. If anything Swami is like many young boys who don’t want to go to school. He will lie to his parents in order to stay at home. Making up a story that will suit his needs. However just as Swami is stubborn so too is his father who knows that Swami is lying to him hence him writing a letter to the headmaster even though he knows that Swami will not give the headmaster the letter.
