Lahiri has said, "The question of identity is always a difficult one, but especially for those who are culturally displaced, as

immigrants are . . . Who grow up in two worlds simultaneously." What do you think Gogol wants most from his life? How is it different from what his family wants for him, and what they wanted when they first came to America to start a family? How have expectations changed between generations in your own family? Do you want something different for your own children from what your parents wanted for you?

Answer and Explanation:

1. What Gogol wants most is to be accepted and discover his own identity. That's because Gogol is Indian and was raised to the standards of Indian culture, in the USA, where he was raised. American clout is very influential in Gogol's life, especially after he starts to live with Americans at school and in his daily life. Gogol feels confused between the two cultures and this distresses him, moreover, he has a Russian name and an Indian surname, which causes more confusion about who he is both for him and for other people.

2. Gogol's family went to America in search of a better quality of life and better political, economic and educational resources for both them and their children. What they want for Gogol, however, is that he represents a successful individual for Indian culture and so they want him to be a doctor or an engineer.

3. In this novel, we can see that the expectations between the generations of a family change. While older generations want their children to seek financial stability and a successful career, children seek acceptance, happiness and comfort.

4. I believe that all parents want their children to be happy and healthy, so I don't believe that I want anything different for my children than what my parents wanted for me.

This question is about the novel "The Namesake" which addresses the need for cultural identification in a country as diverse as the United States. In addition, the book addresses the differences between immigrant families according to the cultural mix and the evolution of the generations.

Which of the following shows the correct way to cite a second work in Works Cited with the title, First Time's a Charm by the au
nadezda [96]

D. ---. First Time's a Charm. Houston: La Prensa Texas, 1995. Print.

Since the Works Cited page is alphabetical, the two books by the same author will be one after the other. Because of this, you do not need to include any of the author's name. Instead, replace the name with three hyphens. Do NOT forget the period! It usually comes after the author's name, but in this case, it needs to be after the hyphens.

MLA has updated their requirements for citing sources. It is no longer the rule that you must put "Print" for print sources. Now, this citation should end with the period after the copyright date.

Please make this longer and a little different!!!!
marshall27 [118]

Answer:

In conclusion, people should not be climbing the Himalayan mountains because of the extremely high death rates, impractical use of sherpas, and the numerous rumors about the once-feared giants of the east. The Himalayan mountains deserve to be respected and the people in the are should be helped. With people continuing to climb the mountain, neither of these things are being accomplished.

Hope this helps.

Which sentence contains a redundancy?
Elena L [17]

D) It was his usual custom to wash his hands before each meal.

When one is redundant, one basically says the same thing twice or says something that is unnecessary.  For instance, it would be redundant to say “wet water” because water, by its nature is wet.  Thus, when we look at Option D, the redundancy it contains is “usual custom.”  This is redundant because an act that is customary, or is a custom, is so because of its usual practice.
