Question

Write a brief note on the three characters of the story father's help: Swami, Samuel, Father.

Answer 1

Answer:

The main character of the story Father’s Help is Swaminathan, who is the prototype Schoolboy, ‘creeping like snail unwilling to school’. Swami-short form of Swaminathan, is a typical school-boy who hates to go to school, fools lazy to do his homework, and plays all sorts of gimmicks to escape School.

On one Monday he decided to escape from school. So he made a false complaint of a bad headache to his parents. His father understood the trick and insisted on his going to school. As a last resort, Swami stated that he would be beaten in the class if he went to school late. He also complained against his teacher Samuel to his father. The teacher was strict. He would beat students severely if they come late.
