Uncle Shams Questions & Answers
Question 1: Which words used by Mr and Mrs Malik does the workman misinterpret? How does he react?
Answer: The workman misinterprets ‘degrees’. He says he does not have a degree. He then misinterprets ‘fine’ and is worried he will be fined.
Question 2: In what way is Uncle Shams a walking disaster zone? What does this mean?
Answer: Uncle Shams causes havoc by trying to help. The wall cracks, the ladder crashes to the floor, the hammer falls and breaks a tile, he breaks a chair, and when he is on his way out of the room, he knocks over a coffee table and breaks a vase. In no time at all, he has caused a great deal of damage; when he is around, the place becomes a disaster zone.
Question 3: What reasons do Mr and Mrs Malik give for wanting to get rid of Uncle Shams?
Answer: The Maliks think that Uncle Shams has eccentric ways; he has come far too early for the wedding; he eats like a horse, and the cost of keeping him will rise; he will undoubtedly break other things and they will have to pay for the damage. It was for these reasons they wanted to get rid of Uncle Shams quickly.
