And this is what author David Brooks talks about in his sociological study, People like Us; because everyone has a say in the house, older moral and religious values are upheld and there is no room for individual progression. Instead, those who grow up in a multi-generational/ multi-family households, are (in a way) prone to thinking the same way as their peers, and then they impose the same values on their kin, and it goes on and on for who knows how long. There are many instances where having a large influential family has stopped people from pursuing what they want, like author Jeannette Walls’ family in her memoir The Glass Castle.

Pai stays strong and resists falling into pressure, and by doing that shows all the signs of a good leader. In Pai’s culture the male is born into the leadership position of the tribe, not unlike a monarchy. Normally, the parents would have children until they got a boy but, Pai’s mother and twin brother died during the birth.

Doug learned that he didn’t have the family structure as Ruth did and he always yearned for family would listen and talk to him about his accomplishes and things he enjoyed. Ruth’s whole outlook on this chapter is to inform us about a part in her life as she does in every other chapter.
