Object:
A poor mother in early twentieth-century India sends her child to a British boarding school. The Indian child hates boarding school; he is teased by the other children, he is far away from his mother; he does not like the cold, wet English climate. He writes letters home, begging to come back, pleading with his mother to let him quit his circumstances. Although his mother would love to have him back in her arms, she knows that his pain is only temporary. His British education will give him more opportunities than a life in India will. He will be able to return and help the people in his community or go into the world and do something better. For now, his life is miserable, but his perseverance will pay off in the end. His future just has not been revealed yet.
