Question

Write a summary on “School Times” by Ruskin Bond

Answer 1

Who would you like to meet - the adventurous four feathers from the prep-school in Shimla or the Eurasian schoolboy and his funny grandmother who detests the dirty manners of the English? There is another option: would you like to catch up with the father who became a schoolboy and attended school again or the small girl who lived on hope that her father would return home from war one day? How about meeting a mischievous boy who always follows his master's footsteps but never gets the expected results or the destitute lad who gets admitted to a school full of affluent students? All these and many more engaging stories are awaiting you inside this book.

Answer 2

Answer:

Ruskin Bond gathers some of the best writing ever to capture the unforgettable years of school-life in this collection of stories, which also features a young girl waiting for her father to return from war, a schoolboy from Eurasia and his picky grandmother who despises the English, a middle-aged man who returns to school, and a young man living in poverty adjusting to a school full of wealthy students.

The years we spend in school represent our formative years. We will always remember that period of time. The experiences and all the fun are special and one-of-a-kind moments. With some unforgettable people, many lasting relationships are formed. Our childhood is enhanced by wonderful friends and motivating teachers.

Other unforgettable experiences include attending school plays, music festivals, river rafting or hiking during vacations, and reading new books. Ruskin Bond humorously and lovingly reminisces about his carefree schooldays in this distinctive collection of tales. He recalls the privilege of being a Boy Scout, the enjoyment of being a member of a secret society, the discovery of a passion for reading, and many other things.
