Explanation:
The protagonist of the story is a 10-year-old boy. He is an unconstrained, indiscreet, wicked but then also an exceptionally honest child. His character is a kid in the fullest feeling of the world. How he grows up, his mischiefs which made his family irritated, his wonder, growing pains and innocence and many aspects are being portrayed in the novel. He lives in a universe of bossy grown-ups. He is a student at Albert Mission School. It is a British established school where importance is given to Christianity and English education.
One of the most watershed moments in the novel is the time when Rajam joins the school and he becomes friend with Swami. That was a life-changing stage for him. But later he breaks his friendship due to some reasons
Swami’s mother Lakshmi is a homemaker and his father, W. T. Srinivasan, a lawyer. He is seen irritating his family members in the novel. Also, he himself sometimes gets irritatedswami and friends character sketch by the way his family scolds him. He takes his family for granted and to some extent, it can be said that he is not given proper attention after his brother was born. He was unbearable to his mother. There were times when his mother thought of giving up on him. He inherited a kind of revengeful quality in him after he got ignored by his mother. But it was not the same for his father. Srinivasan, even though he was a bit rude to him he has always been his soft corner. Swami tries every time and again to win sympathy for his grandmother. He dislikes staying at home and likes spending his time idly.
He has got Rajam and Mani as his fast friends. Swami was not an extraordinary character. Like all the other boys of his age, he likes spending time with his companions.
Mani is Swaminathan’s best friend. Swami’s family is comfortable in the sense of finance, as we can see from his father’s job or lifestyle as a lawyer. But Mani isn’t. His family lives in poverty. He is not regular in his school attendance and is a backbencher. Even though he is faint-hearted and timid he becomes aggressive and undisciplined at times. With all his companions, Mani stands to be the strongest and largest. He does not care to bully anyone coming in his path. But it is worth mentioning that his bond of friendship with Swami never lessens.
Rajam’s life is the complete opposite of Mani. He is sincere in his academics and has self-respect.
