This story reminds me of the Indian culture when I was in India I have seen many people who dislike to give birth to a daughter sometimes the kill her or sometimes they give her away.
What happened in this chapter: Kavita finds an orphanage in Bombay by the help of Rupa to give her daughter to the orphanage. She go to Bombay, and give her daughter away to keep her alive although she is worried about her that who will take care of her and who will feed her but she makes this hard decision and gives her child to the orphanage.
An inner conflict:
is between Jasu and Kavita because of their child, Jasu doesn't want the daughter but Kavita loves her and want to keep her. This makes Kavita to have a conflict with Jasu.
A thought from the protagonist:
"A sudden fear grips her, the same suffocating fear she has felt throughout this pregnancy. what will happen if they are all wrong? Her second prayer, and the more desperate of the two, is that she not give birth to another girl. She cannot endure that again"
When did this take place: 1984, 1985, 1990
Significant quotation:
"No I will not you are not taking her"
Emotions in this piece: frustrations, sadness, confusion, excitement, angry.
Most important word to describe
this section: reassuring
A question I have: why Kavita's husband didn't have any feelings for his child?
A lesson learned: Love your child and do anything you can do for her/him.
The characters in this piece: Rupa, Kavita, Somer, Krishnan, Jasu.
Prediction: I think Kavita will meet her child again maybe not soon but after many years and if she won't meet her she will be praying for her safety and hope to meet her somewhere.
Quotation from another character: "Daiji, don't tell anyone. Go quickly, fetch Rupa, and bring her here. No one, you hear?"
Unknown word & definition: anticipation-forecast, belly-stomach, gesture-movement, pandit-Hindu priest.
Somebody: Somer
Wanted: to give birth to a baby
But: She couldn't do it
So: she adopted one.
A social possible social
commentary: Most of the people in India didn't like to have a daughter because the could find problems for them but How they didn't have any feeling for their child.
My advice is Jasu knows that having a daughter is a difficult think in his place but she is his daughter and he should learn that she is a gift from God to him and he should love her!
A power conflict: Jasu always had fight with Kavita because she couldn't give birth to a boy.
