Min. 6-7 key points expected

1. Character Sketch of Aram

Aram was a nine year old Armenian boy belonging to the Garoghlanian Tribe. 
He was very fond of his cousin brother, Mourad. 
He was also crazy about horses and always longed to ride one.
He was aware of the legendary reputation of his family which was known for its honesty
However, he gets carried away when he gets the opportunity to ride the beautiful white horse that Mourad got.
He even justifies that keeping someone else’s horse to ride was not stealing as they did not plan to sell it for money.
He was really thrilled when Mourad asked him come for a ride. 
Unfortunately, each time he tried to ride the horse on his own, he fell off and the horse ran out of control. 
He follows all of Mourad’s instructions because he wanted to be able to ride the horse for as long as possible. 
In the end, both he and Mourad decide to return the horse to John Byro not because they were afraid of getting caught.
They did so because they did not want to be called liars and tarnish the reputation of their family.
Aram is the narrator of the story and through his eyes the readers get an insight into the innocence with which little children view the world. 


2. Character sketch of Mourad

Mourad is Aram’s 13 year old cousin. He is considered to be crazy by all in the family. Aram was especially fond of him.
Bold and fearless, he got a white horse and managed to ride it for almost a month without letting anyone know.
He knew how much Aram loved horses and longed to ride them.
He was thoughtful and asked Aram to join him to ride the horse. 
Mourad was kind soul and had a way people and animals. 
The dogs wouldn’t bark at him and he even repaired the broken wind of a robin. 
He developed a special bond with the horse and had learned to control it well. 
After getting the horse back, its owner, John Byro said that the horse was stronger and better-tempered. 
In the end, both Mourad and Aram decide to return the horse to John Byro not because they were afraid of getting caught.
They did so because they did not want to be called liars and tarnish the reputation of their family. 

3. How does the story convey the message of honesty and integrity despite the strong desire of the boys to keep the horse.

Aram and Mourad take a lot of pride in their tribe’s reputation for honesty for over eleven centuries. Despite their poverty, no one from their tribe would ever steal. Things change when their own strong desire to ride a horse takes over their judgement. Mourad keeps the horse with him for over a month and tells Aram about it only because he knew how much Aram loved horses. The boys convinced themselves that they were merely borrowing the horse to ride and did not intend to sell it. Their meeting with John Byro was the turning point for them. Byro was convinced that the horse was exactly like the one he lost but he has great respect for the Garoghalian tribe which was known for its honesty. Thus, he refused to believe that the horse was stolen from him and simply said that it was possibly a twin of his horse. In the end, both Mourad and Aram decide to return the horse to John Byro not because they were afraid of getting caught.

They did so because they did not want to be called liars and tarnish the reputation of their family.

    2) Uncle Khosrove used to say "it's no harm,pay no attention to it" even after listening to most disastrous things like when his house caught fire, and thus, he was considered crazy.

  14. Good morning sir. This is Shambhava S. of 11-D. Uncle Khosrove a large, imposing figure with a strong head of black hair and the largest mustache in the area. Being irritable and low-tempered, he was often denoted as an intimidating figure who was extremely impatient would not let anyone speak against or before him. He is so impatient that he immediately dismisses any issue with the phrase "It's no harm; pay no attention to it." This is probably related to his homesickness, feeling out place, and bitterness at losing the place where he grew up.

    Ans to the question is.....
    Uncle Khosrov is a character from the story, 'The summer of the beautiful white horse' written by Willian Saroyan. This character strikes as funny with his immediate dismissal of any problem with a "It's no harm, pay no attention to it".
    Uncle Khosrov is the uncle of the protagonist Aram. He is notorious for his bad temper. He is highly impatient and set aside any problem without even listening to the details. When his son reported that their house is on fire, he shouted the same 'It's no harm, pay no attention to it'. Now it is a matter of debate whether this is because he is slightly mad or he is just bad tempered and impatient.
    When Mourad, Aram's cousin 'borrowed' Mr. Byro's horse, so that they could ride it for a while, he was rather thoughtless and risked the reputation of their tribe for honesty. It made Aram wonder if he has inherited Uncle Khosrov's impulsive nature. At the end of the story when John Byro came to their house to complain about his horse being stolen, Uncle Khosrov shouted at him asking him not to pay attention to it.
    All the same. Uncle Khosrov strictly followed the Garoghlanian honesty

    Uncle khosrove was the uncle of Aram and Mourad,who was considered to be crazy due to his strange behaviour. A big man with a loud voice, he was very impatient and almost always angry. He never listened to people properly before he shouted "It is no harm; pay no attention to it." Even when his son came running to him to report that their house is on fire, all he said was "It is no harm; pay no attention to it.
