(9) Swami delivered the complaint letter to the headmaster after the last bell rang. – F
(B)
(1) When Swami told her father that he was not going to school, his father got angry and told him to go to school anyway.
His reaction was very much different from Swami’s mother as she generously suggested that Swami might stay at home.
(2) ‘Father’s behaviour took an enexpected turn’ –
When Swami gave the detailed description about Samuel’s violence to late coming students, he thought that his father would not send him to school. But instead of that he determined to send him late to Samuel’s class as a challenge. Thus it took an unexpected turn in father’s behaviour.
(3) Swami thought that his teacher Samuel might do something to justify the allegations made against him at the end of the school. So Swami did not hand over the complaint letter to the headmaster in the morning.
(4) No, Swami could not deliver the complaint letter to the headmaster after the school as he was on leave and would not come back for a week.
(II) HOTS
Ans – Swami had given a very unfair description to his father. He was not at all sure if he had been accurate in his description about him. He could not decide how much of what he had said was imagined and how much of it was real. So he felt like ‘the worst perjurer’.
(III) Life Skills
Ans – Swami’s relation with his father is not intimate. His father is stubborn in his nature and Swami also tells lies to his father. So they both should give efforts to strengthen their bonding. Parents should give more attention to their children and understand their needs and children should not tell lies to their parents.
(IV) Values
Ans – If I had been in Swami’s place, I would have told my father about the actual problems and share my feelings with him freely.
