Lessons from my school years

1. The narrator was still nervous about going to the school and that he was helping his family out in the fruit shop before school. What is expected from him is getting a very good grade on his school and get a good job. This contrast shows a similarity to normal life.

2. He talks about where he lives and in other words, not living in a normal set of houses but living in a highway. He talks about the Sydney North Shore as if it is a very busy place.

3. The father's background in business is that he is not good in business at all, what helped him become successful is that he asks people what they like, chat with them and make sure customers leave the store happy.

4. What makes the father a complex character is that he likes a lot of modern objects and starts buying technology for his family, it also showed all of the father's good points.

5. The narrator describes his role that he is not doing good enough, that he is not getting enough merits to please his family.

6. The experience is that he made a friend with a white and he learned that it was his choice on what to do.

7. The tone in his voice showed that he does not have a like the events that are occurring around him

8. A person could get the strap by not knowing their middle name or mistakes in their work. There are not many ways to avoid it either, one way is to get a good mark or get their homework all correct.

9. The swimming carnival made the teacher evoke a racist speech.

10. Strap-Happy Jack didn't really mean a lot to the author even though it was insulting to the author

11. The school let the author choose what subject he can study and that made him lead the school

12. He had started a workshop program, he did it because of his lack at discipline, what motivated him to do this was the chance to work with other people.

13. His parents wanted him to do what the teachers wanted, he would fear that if he obeyed his parents, he would still be bullied and called names by other people.

14. He learned that he could to anything with his own type of thinking and uses it by saying that he has used his learning to get through his school years.
