These storytelling devices further the theme of either class or gender, and help to show

Attaining one’s own self identity and self relation are usually molded by your surrounding influences and environment. In Jhumpa Lahiri’s novel, The Namesake, the author creates the juxtaposition of the conflictual relationship between the experiences of children living in American mainstream culture vs. the family culture of a first generation Indian family.

Part of growing up is leaving your parents and determining what is best for yourself instead of listening to what others think is best for you.

While each character had many differences, they both faced the same problem, their fathers had set out a plan for their lives that they would follow no matter what was for

There are some different types of identity in the society. People can maintain the identity as a member of a community such as a country or religion, and the identity as an individual, or personality. Thus, the theme of identity can be argued in some ways.

The movie “Mississippi Masala” directed by Mira Nair, is a heartwarming yet powerful film that reveals a side to racism, separation, and oppression that many may be unaware of.

The film The Namesake’s most significant impression on me was how Ashima and Ashoke remarkably influenced their marriage to work through exceptionally intense conditions. They did not have any acquaintance with each other yet after a meeting over tea, they are hitched and moving all over the world in love. Their way of life did not condone separation from marriage, and thus they needed to influence theirs to work. They grew an affection for each other.

During his adulthood, from his breakups to the death of his father, Gogol matures mentally. He begins to regret resenting his trip to Calcutta

Halfway through the race, the two had nowhere to go, because the two horses in front of him formed a wall.
