Answer:
Festival: DIWALI
I traveled to India last year as part of my tour of Asia and i made a brief stop at Kolkata. Fortunately for me, i was right on time to witness the festival of Diwali which usually lasts for five days and celebrated between mid-October and mid-November.
Diwali is a celebration that is peculiar to Hinduism and according to locals, it symbolizes the spiritual victory over light and darkness.
In preparation for the celebration, the locals in Kolkata made a whole make-over of their surroundings by cleaning, decorating and renovating their houses and workplaces. They were on their best attires and offered <em>puja </em>(which i was told means worship) to Lakshmi the goddess of prosperity and wealth.
The first day of Diwali was accompanied by making beautiful decorations and cleanings. The second day is known as <em>Naraka Chaturdashi. </em>The third day which is the day of Lakshmi Puja is the darkest night of the traditional month. The fourth day of Diwali is dedicated to the union of husband and wife and the last day is known as Bhai Dooj which is dedicated to the relationship between brother and sister.
The locals at Kolkata look forward to this day with great enthusiasm and gusto. I stayed in Kolkata for the entire five days of celebration before i moved on to another city.

What effect does the story's timeline have on the text's overall meaning?
• The story's timeframe influences the overall meaning because the story's location and timeline make sense. In the past, there were many cult-like groups and superstitions, and their actions were frequently met with harsh consequences. The story's date and setting feel more realistic to the culture of the time.
How does the appearance of the old blind woman at the mother's prison cell affect the narrator?
• The elderly blind woman's arrival at the mother's jail call affects the narrator by recalling happy memories of her mother. But the narrator wanted to go, but she kept failing because the elderly blind lady continued questioning her anytime, she tried to step back or leave.
If I were George Washington, and I saw the corporal refuse to help his men, I’d be filled with such rage and sadness. It would overcome my ability to stay put. The amount of disappointment I’d feel in those moments would nearly rip my heart out my chest. The corporals refusal to help his men had mentally abused me in every way. I am no longer George Washington, but a victim of mental abuse. It is within my reach and my power to overcome said abuse, but in all reality, am I ready to? Am I ready to overstep the lines and overcome the inability to feel happiness? Am I ready to step out of my comfort zone and step up for myself? I’m not sure. At this point, I do not control my life. I am nothing but a character in your story book. It is ultimately your decision wether you would like to keep reading or not. Ever since corporal has refused to help his men, my anger has filled skies, my tears have filled empty oceans, and my fear has brought back the dead. Viewing my life in an outsiders perspective, I see how much of a monster I’ve become. I’m watching my life fall apart right before my eyes. Me, being silly old George Washington, cannot do anything about it. My life is crumbling before my very eyes without a singular blink. Although, you may think I am overreacting, I am not. Everyday decisions impact everyday decisions. Watching corporal refuse to help his men, just proved my very point. There is no justice in this cruel world. All we can find is pain, misery, and ache. All we feel is sadness, disappointment, and anger.
If I were George Washington, and I saw the corporal refuse to help his men, I’d be filled with such rage and sadness.
