What were the peculiarities in uncle Khosrove's behaviour ? plz answer fast...

Answer 1

There were many peculiarities in Uncle Khosrov's behavioir. He was an eccentric fellow. There were quite a few other characters in the Garoghlanian tribe who were like him. Mourad had taken after him as far as mental traits were concerned. His most idiosyncratic and peculiar characteristic was his typical response to any question or request put to him. He would react, "It is no harm; pay no attention to it." Once he was sitting at a barber’s shop, having his moustache trimmed. His son came running to tell him their house was on fire. He responded calmly saying, "It is no harm; pay no attention to it." The barber grew panicky and asked him to run home; however, Khosrove got annoyed and shouted at the barber, "It is no harm; pay no attention to it."   Physically, he was an enormous man with a powerful head of black hair and the largest mustache in San Joaquin Valley. He was quite short tempered and impatient in dealing with others. 

Answer 2

Uncle Khosrove is a character in the story ‘The Summer of a Beautiful White Horse’ by William Saroyan from his collection of short stories under the title ‘My Name is Satyam’. His character has several unique traits including being extremely short tempered and having a peculiar dialogue ‘It is no harm’.

 

Uncle Khosrove is the uncle of Mourad, the main protagonist of the story, an Armenian belonging to the comically poor yet honest tribe of the Garoghlanian family. He has a vile temper and is angry with anyone who complains about life, including John Byro, one of their neighbours who farms for a living.

 

In the story, Mourad and his cousin Aram steal a beautiful white horse belonging to farmer Byro and ride it every day in the morning. Finally, their conscience forces them to return it to the farmer since their family is known for its honesty.
