Paragraph 4 has the paper bag and the books inside it but what is the significance of the paper bag in paragraph 4?
The narrator was a very short-tempered boy and was often prone to fights on slight provocation. After discovering his love for books, he began visiting library and bringing books from there. But, would get laughed at as book reading was considered un-manly and he didn’t like the suggestion of being considered effeminate, and neither did he want to get into any more fights. Hence, he started taking a brown paper bag to carry books.
