I think this story, White Teeth, is so interesting in that the things characters of this story, especially Samad and Irie, think are good are felt to get worse and worse by readers. I will mention Samad first. Maybe he is a good father. Though father is usually concerned with children, for father to play a role in parent governor is particularly rare. As far as I know, only two persons are parent governor as a father. My father never played a role like Samad. But Samad is a parent governor. He has many questions in a school governors meeting. For children he is in deadly earnest to improve their school. Though Samad is serious Katie Miniver who is the chairwoman thinks he is sarcastic. Yet I think maybe she understands that he does deliberately. Or Samad asks Katie Miniver the difference between “Mrs” and “Ms”. It is innocent for him to ask it. He doesn’t want to humiliate her at all. Simply it is his question. If we presented in the school governors meeting, we would have same feeling as Alsana. There is an another thing which he himself is recognizing to be getting worse. It is Magid studying abroad. Samad chose Magid with difficulty. It needed many weeks. Regardless of it, Magid does not grow up as Samad wanted. He says this; “He learns nothing from a man who knows nothing! Where is his beard? Where is his khamise? Where is his humility? If Allah says there will be storm, there will be storm. If he says earthquake, it will be earthquake.
