Q.2. Throw light on Yuri's role in Einstein 's life., Ans. Yur i was t h e b e st frie nd Einstein had in the school at Munich. He understo od that the, , genius of Ein stein w as getting choked at school. He was very unhappy with what history, t.eacher had done. H e was living in a dirty area and there was no peace for him anywher e. One, day, when h e expressed to Yuri that he was wasting his time and father's money there, Yuri, decided to h elp out. Einstein suggeste d that he could take a medical certifica te for nervousbreakdown a nd discontin ue going to school where he was very unhappy . He requeste d Yuri to, find a doctor who could do this and Yuri found one, Dr Ernst Weil. Ernst Weil listened to, Einstein's problem pa tie ntly and gave him a certifica te which said that Einstein should not, attend school. Einstein told the doctor that he would go back to Milan where ~s father lived, and seek a dmission in a n Italian college or institute . Yuri also supporte d Einstein in the entire, episode a nd h elped him to get off the school. -, , Q.3. What salient charact eristics of Einstei n are highlig hted through the, chapter?, Ans. Einstein was a genius and he realised his potentia l when he went to school at Munich., The school followed a very stereo-ty ped educatio n system. It gave importan ce to learning and, not making one's own concept and ideas. In his reactions to the system, Einstein comes across, , as very straigh t for ward. He is highly sensitive and emotiona l person also. When the history, teacher disgraces him in front of the class for not learning the facts and the dates of the history,, he feels very disappoi nted. Einstein has a bit of rebellion in him. When he feels disgusted , he, becomes a little rude. This is why he decided to leave the school where he was not getting peace, of mind and creative satisfacti on. He requeste d Yuri to help him out so that he could leave and, study in some institute or college in Italy, where his father lived. Einstein is a noble hearted, person and has a good friend in Yuri. He is full of love and affection for him. He shares all his, prob1 ems with him and eventual ly, Yuri only helped him out. Einstein is a great lover of music, and fi.nds comfort in playing lovely melodies on his violin. It takes him away into a world of, peace an d quiet\, Einstein thu s possesse d both the qualities of head and heart., Q.4..
