Chapters+3+and+4

ANS1- the first example of how desai has caricaturised Mr Chawla is : his long "Ommmm" that is apart of his daily ritual. Desia uses verbes like "roar" to describe his chants, comparing it to that of a lion as a roar is genuinely a loud and bold sound. Furtheremore supporting the fact that Mr.Chawla is the head of his family and the commanding man in charge. The second example is: Mr.Chawlas actions. As Mr,Chawla banged the news paper to the table where sampath was seated. However desai has portrayed it to be as extremely hard as she stated " boom". "Hard on the fly leaving nothin but feeble legs waving above a dirty, jammy mess and a blur of iriescent wing" Desai is using verbs and adjectivites to portray Mr.Chawlas actions as hostile causing him to leave a mess. The description of the Dead fly is very vivid to reveal the impact of Mr.Chawlas actions.

ANS3- Pinky is explaining to her family about the cinema monkey and that it is not safe for girl to go and it is humiliating if targeted, However Ammaaji suggests Sampath to go with her"he can protect you". However pinky is not sure about the fact thay he will protect her as she states" the monkey will probably choose me as the best person to target if sampath is with me". This proves that she fele that sampath is not capable and responsible enough to look after her which shows a negatove relationship among the two. Pinky is very self -conscious and thus stated" he is liike this by nature, but he should buy new shoes from bata, looking like taht he will not get anywhere" this proves that she feels her own brother is unrepresentable and needs to buy new clothing accessaries. Ammaji is shown as a sterotypical granny as she revelas feeling of love and concern for her grandchild "poor sampath, look at him,sitting,sitting there as usual,with no raise in pay or promotion anywhere in sight: Furthermore stereotypical grand-mothers never lose faith in their grandchildren and always think postive and keep high hopes as she states" wait and see even if it appears he is going down hill, he will come up out on the other side, yes on top of the world, he is just taking the longer route". They never lose hope and will always think high and be unrealistic just to motivate their grandchild.
