Answer:

‘Father’s Help’ is a short story written by R. K. Narayan (1906-2001) an Indian English short story-teller and novelist. The main theme of the story is a pretext for not going to school. The story depicts the child psychology and shows how a child’s minds work to device out a trick for shirking his duty.

The story revolves round a school-boy named Swaminathan. He is a student of Albert Mission School. Like some boys he despises school going and finds a pretext for not going to school. One Monday morning he decided not to go to school and finds a pretext that he has a headache. His mother allows him to stay home but when his father comes to know about his headache then he becomes stubborn and says to him that he must go to school. Swaminathan replies that he is unwilling to go to school late as his teacher Samuel would beat him. Then Swami gives a brief but vivid imaginary account of Samuel’s violent character and says that he is so rude to the boys who go to school late. He canes the boys very vehemently and not stops till he sees blood on the boy’s hand which he makes the boy smear on his face. He also reports that once the teacher had skinned the knuckle of a boy. Hearing this Swami’s father becomes exasperated with the teacher and writes a rude letter to the Headmaster complaining against Samuel and gives it to Swami to deliver it to him. On the way while going to school Swami’s conscience bothered him for making a false statement about Samuel. However, he devises out a fault with the teacher’s treatment of his students. Going to school he finds the teacher more genial and kind than ever before. The teacher neither abuses him nor canes him. The boy, however, shows rudeness with the teacher in the class. While the school breaks then he rushes to the Headmaster’s chamber and seeing the room locked he asks the peon and comes to know that he is on a leave for a week. He does not deliver the letter and returns home straight. His father asks him about the letter and then snatching the letter from Swami’s hand tears off it and throws it into the wastepaper box and mutters that he deserves the punishment of Samuel.

There are three main Characters- Swaminathan, Samuel and Swami’s father. All bears some individual as well as type traits of character. Swami is a type of boys who are unwilling to go to school and find an excuse for not going to school and what tactics he finds is a type of childish wickedness. Here the author has ably portrayed child psychology. The second important character is Samuel. He is a worthy teacher. No doubt that he sometimes punishes the student for their good but at times he is kind to them also. He often makes jokes rounding Swami’s inactivity which proves that he is a person of a genial kind. The third character is the Father of Swaminathan. He is a very conscious father. He loves his son but he is strict in the matter of his son’s schooling.

The author has employed Objective Method in narrating the story. In this method, the author keeps himself outside his story and narrates the events objectively.
