‘The story glosses over the dark and violent side of prison life and the escape’. Comment on the given statement with reference to your reading of the story, ‘Evans Tries an O Level’.

Solution:
Prison authorities made many blunders. It was only because of these mistakes that Evans could escape from prison. The hatching of the escape plan started with the German tutor’s entry. The German teacher who had been coming to take Evans’ classes was Evan’s accomplice. Everyone assumed that he was a teacher from the technical college. The invigilator’s identity was also not verified.
