Explanation:
Based on the excerpt from the story of Iqbal, we can easily know that the master was a cruel man just by the way he held the young boy's arm. The very word "an iron grip" gives a strong indication of someone holding onto something that wouldn't be let go easily. This sentence
In his left hand he held a sack, and his right hand held the arm of a boy in an iron grip
gives the character of Hussain, the master as someone who is cruel and representation of someone who was to be obeyed by the children.
