    Katherine Boo’s first book, Behind The Beautiful Forevers, details the lives of the citizens of Annawadi, a small slum in Mumbai, India. For three years and four months Boo chronicled the everyday struggles of several individuals illegally squatting within the cramped quarters owned by the Mumbai Airport Authority. Founded in 1991 by construction workers hoping to acquire temp work brought on by the ever-expanding airport (Boo, 2012, p. 5), Annawadi is home to “three thousand people … packed into … three hundred and thirty five huts” (Boo, 2012, p. xi).…

    Often in narratives, the authors chosen setting has a subtle but important impact on the story. This is notable in Ernest Buckler’s “Long, Long After School” and Santha Rama Rau’s “By Any Other Name.” Whereas Buckler’s story focuses on the segregation of the main character, Rama Rau’s concentrates on the attempted assimilation she faced as a child. However, both literary works demonstrate that setting is key to shaping the characters.…

    Jhumpa Lahiri's book of short stories, Interpreter of Maladies, reflects a realism that is seldom read in fiction. The characters are neither boring nor extraordinary, but they do face situations and dilemmas that are indicative of real life. Though the stories are all unrelated, they do share similar themes. These reoccurring motifs are religion, New-world v .Old-world tradition, gender roles, and secrecy. These themes become vital in the development of each and every character in the work.…

    An important part of this story is the tragic event that happened with Ashoke Ganguli that almost took his life. In 1961 Ashoke was in a terrible train accident and during the wreck he was reading a series of short stories by a Russian author, Nikolai Gogol. In 1968, Ashima Ganguli is about to give birth to her first child with her newly wedded husband Ashoke. They were one of few Bengali couples in Cambridge, Massachusetts. Being Bengali, it was tradition for them to wait for a letter from Ashima’s grandmother with the name of the newborn child. Well they never end up receiving the letter and end up giving the child the pet, Gogol, on the birth certificate until they heard from the grandmother. Turns out that Ashimas grandmother’s letter was lost and she dearly sick. Once Gogol goes to go to school, his parents give him the name Nikhil. In 1971 his sister Sonia is born. When Gogol turns fourteen, Ashoke gives him the Nikolai Gogol series that means so much to him, but Gogol didn’t seem to have any interest. Then once Gogol read the story “The Overcoat” in his junior year of high school, he becomes ashamed and confused of his name and before going to college he changes his name to Nikhil. Nikhil attends Yale and starts to drift away from his culture to the American…

    Many children in the world are born and raised into cross cultural lives. Jhumpa Lahiri is an example of one of those people. Lahiris life experiences influence her symbolism, themes and styles of her writing. Growing up in America, she was greatly influenced by the Indian and American culture making her an Indian American. Jhumpa Lahiris personal experience as an Indian American is conveyed through Lilia’s cross cultural struggles in “Mr. Pirzada Came to Dine,” Mr. Kipasis perspective on Mrs. Das and the American culture in “The Interpreter of Maladies,” and Miranda’s personal struggles and interest in the Indian culture in the story “Sexy.”…
