It was necessary to keep Harold from knowing the truth about his father's profession because everybody in the family felt that Harold was a child prodigy and this would affect his mentality in a wrong way. Boxing wasn't considered to be a very respectable profession and people thought that Harold might feel ashamed of his father if he knew that his father was a mere boxer.
2.  Mr. Bramble, was a professional heavy weight boxer. He was a tough sports person, yet a sensitive father who cared most about his son’s education. He like his wife was afraid that the truth about his profession might affect Harold’s education adversely. Thus, Brambles kept the truth from Harold. Though Mr. Bramble was a proud boxer, he was ready to forsake his profession for his son. However, the irony was that on knowing the truth, Harold was happy that it was his father who was young porky.
3.  A slight frown was marring the smoothness of Harold Bramble's brow because his mother's habit of referring to herself in third person was annoying to him. It made her seem as if she was addressing a baby, instead of a young man of ten who had taken the spelling and dictation prize last term on his head. This habit would make him seem like a child in corollary to his mother's terms of reference.
4.  Major Percy Stokes, brother of Mrs. Bramble, is not a major character in the story, however, has a distinguished role to play. He is as much concerned about Harold and his academics as Mrs. and Mr. Bramble. He made sure that the father's profession's truth is well kept from the boy. It was Percy who made Bill change his mind to not áght at the Nationals through his letters, until Jerry Fisher disclosed it all to Harold. It was only on being asked by Harold himself Mr. Bramble decided again ti fight.
5. Harold's parents were very particular to not disclose Mr Brambles identity to Harold. They thought that Harold would feel ashamed of his fathers true identity. They had failed to recognize Harold's interest in boxing. He says that "he would not have been called as goggles by his mate's". He had also betted that Jimmy Murphy would lose against Young Porky. 
6.  In the beginning of the story we see that Harold was considered to be a prodigal child, but by the end of the story we ánd that he is a normal child like any other child of his age. He accepts his father's profession and is very comfortable about it. He also bets on Young Porky and feels happy that now he can show off to his friends. ]]> 2016-12-12 15:26:11 UTC https://padlet.com/nimmy_r_oow/rrx29uzc0959/wish/143143313 JEFFREY.I.G,9F nimmy_r_oow https://padlet.com/nimmy_r_oow/rrx29uzc0959/wish/143143314 1) Harold who is a child prodigy and who does well in his academic studies would follow his father's footsteps to become a boxer.

2)Mr Bramble was a very famous boxer known as Young Porky. He was a caring father of 31.He had also done many sacrifices for his child but a very over protective father.                                                        3) There was a frown on Harold's face each time his  mother referred to him as a baby. Harold was a young man of 10 who had already taken the dictation and spelling prize on his head.                            
4)Major Percy Strokes is a very caring and helping brother. He is also annoying at times.                                        5)Harold's parents were very particular to not disclose Mr Brambles identity to Harold.

This statement looks contrary to its beginning, as earlier it was stated that Harold was a prodigy who is not interested in anything excepstudies. There is a huge difference between the starting and the ending of the story.]]> 2016-12-12 15:26:11 UTC https://padlet.com/nimmy_r_oow/rrx29uzc0959/wish/143143315 Shubham Harsh nimmy_r_oow https://padlet.com/nimmy_r_oow/rrx29uzc0959/wish/143143316 1]Harold's parents kept his father's profession as a secret as he was engrossed in studies while his father was a boxer.
