why did Albert feel that the certificate burning a hole in his pocket ??
Answers
Answer:
The author makes this remark because before Albert could use the hard procured medical certificate for nervous breakdown to get a long leave from the school, Mr. Braun had already set the Headmaster against Albert by complaining against him. Before Albert could get a chance to go to the headmaster with his medical certificate and claim a long leave, he was called in the office and asked to leave the school on his own accord. So Albert did not need to use the certificate. He was expelled from the school. Albert so much wanted to show the certificate to the headmaster and tell him that he himself was not willing to study at his school; he wanted to show him the medical certificate he had obtained from Dr. Weil, however he considered it unnecessary. This not being able to show the certificate hurt him a little.
Answer:
The doctor, Ernst Weil, referred by Yuri, falsely certified that Albert had a nervous breakdown and should be kept away from school for six months. However, before he could go to the head teacher, Albert was summoned and expelled from school. The reason given was that he neither wanted to study nor was his presence conductive for others eager to learn. He knew that was not true. He wanted to show him the certificate to prove that he was equally miserable and wanted to get rid of the school as he was not in agreement with the methods of teaching there.
