Answer and Explanation:

Step one: The female representations described above challenge the notion that independence defines the American spirit.

Step two: Women who do not have the standard defended by society are deprived of independence and freedom.

Step three:

The three works described above feature characters, women who are far away from their societies and who are deprived of their freedom because they dare to be independent in someone in their lives and this identity is outside the standards defended by American society. This challenges the notion preached since the early days that independence defines the American spirit.

The independence of women in the works mentioned above is approached in different ways and reveal sexual independence, the protection of loved ones, the domination of a family and even religious freedom, however the result of these factors is the same. Regardless of what women have done, they are limited, ostracized and suffer a strong prejudice from American society, which wants women to put themselves in patterns of submission and invisibility.

However, the American society portrayed in these works does not recognize its hypocrisy in assuming that it is being challenged with the concept of freedom and independence that is preached in the country, but they place the blame of these women on the society they were generated in, in religion and even in them themselves to justify the injustices to which they are subjected.

THE AUTHORS DRAW A CLEAR CONNECTION BETWEEN HINDU VEGETARIANISM AND THE CONCEPT OF HOT AND COLD FOODS. DESCRIBE HOW THIS COMPARI
bulgar [2K]

While it might have seemed like a good idea for <u>Sultan Singh to start an egg business, the population of India is largely vegetarian</u> due to religious reasons  and does not eat eggs so the business failed.

Explanation:

Hot and Cold foods are described locally and known intuitively by many people who follow the Hindu religion. Eating habits are based on the demarcation.

<u>Cold foods are not eaten after sunset as they induce cold and fever it is believed. These include curd, fruits and even rice which is served hot.</u>

<u>Any other type of staple food is believed to be hot and can be eaten throughout the day.</u>

The Singh business did not run because of the strict eating habits of Hindu of which the above is a great example. These habits include not eating non vegetarian food on certain days for even the people who  do. Thus a non vegetarian business finds it hard to function in a Hindu majority region.
