Who was khosrove? What was funny about him?
Answers
Answer:
In the short story 'The Summer of the Beautiful White Horse' by William Saroyan, Uncle Khosrove is projected as a funny character possessing a crazy streak. He displayed temperamental, impatient, hostile and obstinate attitude towards life. He approached all problems and situations with his pet phrase 'It's no harm, pay no attention to it.'
One humorous incident from the story is Uncle Khosrove and John Byro's meeting at Aram's house. John Byro informed Aram's mother that his white horse had been missing for more than a month. He was extremely sad about the loss and commented about the uselessness of his surrey without his white horse. Uncle Khosrove, who was at Aram's house at the time, did not show any sympathy or concern for his loss and shouted in his irritable and impatient manner “It’s no harm. What is the loss of a horse? What is this crying over a horse?” He kept on repeating his pet phrase “Pay no attention to it” on every complaint made by Byro. This made John Byro to comment on the price he had to pay for the said horse. This comment further infuriated Uncle Khosrove who retorted back : “I spit on money.” John Byro could not tolerate it any further and so he stalked out of the house, slamming the screen door in utter disgust.

Answer:
Khosrove was the uncle of Aram and Mourad. He was an enormous man with a powerful head of black hair and had the biggest moustache in the San Joaquin Valley. He was a man who was furious, had temper, so irritable and so impatient that he stopped anyone from talking by roaring," It's no harm: pay no attention to it."
Explanation:
Uncle Khosrove represents the sense of 'an old man's voice' in the story. He carries himself in a very demonstrative manner. The funny thing about him is that be it his house on fire or somebody's death, his refrain of "it's no harm, pay no attention to it" is a statement on his approach to problems and predicaments.
