on page 161 it's obvious that he does not want to be in Lahore because he wants to continue living in America because how much better it was. But he had gotten fired from his job and his visa will soon be invalid so he had no choice but to go home back to Lahore.

On page 139 i'm confused in the reason why Changez would point out the gun in the man's pocket which he says" a bulge manifests itself through the lightweight fabric of your suit, precisely at the point parallel to the sternum." Then after saying that he backpedals. in that he did not mean it that way by saying"please do not adjust your position on my account! I did not mean to imply that you were so equipped."

On page 124 Changez has to adjust to Lahore because he had been living in america for so long he says"He was struck at first by how shabby our house appeared." after that he tells us the other problems with the house because when he lived in America he had none of those problems and now that he's back in Lahore he really see the difference between his living arrangements in New York and how he was living in lahore.

on page 87 it shocked me when Erica said she got a agent for her book because I didn't think she would have the courage to do it because of how long she has kept the book.

On Page 80, the author makes in obvious that Changez cares for Erica a lot because Changez he notices every subtle detail of Erica when she leaves the taxi like if maybe she was crying and that she looked more elegant and older and Changez thinks that might be how she will look someday. this just shows that he cares a lot for her.

In the book the author uses such a wide variety of vocabulary its hard sometime to read because I have to look up the definitions of words sometime because i just don't know what happening or being described.

In chapter 2 when we are introduced to the character Erica and her relationship with changez it is amazing how the author uses such subtle details to show how Erica slowly opens up to Changez in there vacation to Greece.

The perspective of us being the american where our minds answer the question being asked is such a quirky aspect of the story that makes it unique and a enjoyable story to read because it makes up feel like we are in the story.
