Read Father’s Help

By: R. K Narayan

if you were swami , what would you have done? would you have told the truth to your father,given the letter to the headmaster or tried to provoke samuel as swami did?

Answer:

Swami only described Samuel as a violent teacher toward his students to get out of going to school. Considering that he lied, despite his le having some truth behind it, the right thing to do would have been being honest about not wanting to go to school, and probably accepting that he would have to go anyway.

Explanation:

However, telling the truth to his father should also include letting him know about Samuel´s bad behavior. Despite maybe not being as bad as Swami said, no violence, to any degree, should be accepted in school, or anywhere to that matter. And considering the father´s actions in the story, we can assume he would have done something about it when the headmaster return.
