I felt impressed by Changez's confidence but also a little unsure of his true intentions when talking. I think that Changez's view towards America has changed since he first arrived. I also realized that the way Jim speaks felt supportive but also distant. I'm unsure whether his guidance was personal or just more like a work habit, which made the interactions between them more confusing.

I felt Changez becoming more distant from America in these pages. I felt Changez had changed a lot since he graduated from Princeton. His work at Underwood Samson continued, and he still admired Erica, but I felt a growing tension between how he saw himself and how others treated him. I also enjoyed how the author allows the readers to be focused on the conversation by not showing the dialogue of the American men.

I was really surprised by how the author portrayed the interaction between the narrator and the American man. I wondered why the author never shows the American man’s dialogue, which made me focus more on the narrator's voice and words. The formal language felt deliberate. I felt that the narrator was aware of being a Pakistani, and the perspective of Americans towards Muslims.
