DO NOW:
The namesake
Some changes that start to happen on chapter.3 starts on page.55 in the middle of the first paragraph. Gogol starts to play with his food while his dad and he are eating dinner at the table. For the past few days Gogol start missing his mother eating with them at the table she’s always locked inside the bedroom because she’s pregnant “He keeps wishing, every evening, that she would emerge from the bedroom and sit between him and his father, filling the air with her sari and cardigan smell.”(p.55). One day he grows bored of eating without his mother and he pushes the plate forward with his index finger. He doesn’t feel the same eating without his mother and father eating with him what’s pretty much happening his missing his mother and don’t want to do anything anymore. His growing up without his mom and his missing her and I think this kind of weird how his young and he noticed things that is happening around him. Started of with him not eating anymore, then the past few days of school he didn’t go either all he did was still in bed like his mother without appetite, vomiting and having stomach ache.
Gogol doesn’t want to wear the new clothes his mother buys him, he doesn’t want to go to kindergarten anymore his pretty much being his mother “Gogol has been in bed. Just like his mother, listless, without appetite claiming to have a stomach ache, even vomiting one day into his mother’s pink wastepaper basket”. The reason I like this part of chapter.3 is because I thought about the people that basically never met their mother or father and some of them grow up without them. If that’s how they acted when they were little and if they noticed things like Gogol does. The most important reason he doesn’t want to go to school is because people will have to call him a different name and he doesn’t understand why, he likes the name his parents call him “Gogol” he doesn’t want to be called a different name. What basically happen is that they followed the name tradition but backwards. Later on the when his father left the principle walked up to Gogol and asked what he wanted to be called Gogol or Nikhil he picked Gogol because he liked the name his parents called him.
Gogol parents tried to explain to him why he had to be called another name in school and other strangers, they said it was because everyone has too different names but he still didn’t get why he had to be called Nikhil “But they tell him that the new name will be used only by the teachers and children at school.”. I think for his each his a really smart kid for noticing things like that. For his age there’s so many things happening with him. His mother not around as much because she’s pregnant dealing to understand why people have to call him a different name.
This was a homework assigment which we used for a do now the next day in class. We had to share our thoughts and pick a passage that we wrote about. After that we had to underline a passage that we thought it was good and right a paragraph why we liked the passage and explain to the whole class after we talked over our group.
