What to Focus On

  • Children often imitate older people they admire.
  • Smoking started with imitation and moved into theft.
  • The suicide attempt was abandoned because fear overcame them.

  • This theft was later and more serious than the theft for beedis.
  • The brother’s debt was about twenty-five rupees.
  • The armlet was made of solid gold.

  • Confession was written, honest, and complete.
  • The father’s reaction was tears, silence, and forgiveness.
  • The note was torn up, not kept or read aloud.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

A clean confession is enough even if there is no promise to change.

Memory Tips
