1. What is the major theme from the book ?
In the book, Dahl describes the horrid teachers and the even more fearsome Headmasters. The book discusses the ramifications of small mistakes or faults like forgetting pair of socks on the floor just before bedtime, burning your toast at tea, or even small things such as asking a teacher if you could go to the toilet at the "wrong time". The book says that these things could result in caning and penal servitude by the "higher-placed" persons in Roald’s society.

2. Reflection of this story
This book covers Dahl's life, from his first memories onward to leaving school, including accounts of his relationship with his mother and his treatment at English public schools. Like most of Dahl's work, Boy is aimed at children but does not flinch from describing the corporal punishment and other brutalities that were common in public schools at that time. It begins with a short history of his family and ends with his first job (he does not go to the university but starts working right after high school).

3. Impacts


It takes no dummy to realize that Roald Dahl is a writer of some significant talent, whether he's writing horror for adults or playful fantasy for the smallest of children. Those familiar with his works also know that all his writing reflects the experiences, characters, and Britain (and colonies) of his childhood -- thus even the most odd of stories, say, The Enormous Crocodile or The Fantastic Mr. Fox could rightly be called "autobiographical" in a larger sense of mood and atmosphere.
