At the age of 12, Nai was removed from her family of seven siblings and placed in a foster home. At the time, Nai (the second oldest child) and her older sister were caring for their younger brothers and sisters as her parents were usually absent. Being placed in foster care was extremely difficult for the siblings, who were separated and sent to live in different counties. Nai had become used to serving as caretaker for her younger siblings, and spent the first couple of years in foster care worrying about her brothers and sisters. Visitation opportunities together were rare, and over time Nai became resentful of and disappointed in her parents for being unable to “put the family back together again.” She had a very difficult time dealing

The Baron ominously said that he would decide in the morning. Unable to control his curiosity, Will snuck into the Baron’s study and read the paper, at which point Halt came out of the shadows and told Will that he would be the new ranger’s apprentice. Will (he has no last named) was a bit on the small side for his age, and he was often judged for this. However, when people actually got to know him they saw that he had many traits that made him as capable as people even twice his size, and that they were wrong to judge him based on his size. These traits are his loyalty, his bravery and his quick thinking.

It he trustworthy to take over the company? Eric represents people who are unhappy with their wealth and who are supported by their parents and behave recklessly. He seems to be telling us that this younger generation of upper class people can change and be more fair. Eric is well educated and has some good morals unlike his dad ‘Mr Birling’.

One cannot simply assimilate into the crowd without first having some sort of knowledge on how to do so. This is a prime feeling for new migrants, as seen in The Namesake. The differences between American and Indian society are a barrier to belonging for Ashima and Ashoke, as they realise that belonging to society involves an understanding and compliance with collective traditions and beliefs. Lahiri uses their consumption of American food products as a symbol of how they compromise their Indian lifestyle in order to establish belonging. However, this proves to be not enough, as Gogol becomes “aware… of cashiers smirking at his parent’s accents, and of saleswomen who prefer to direct their conversation to Gogol, as though his parents were incompetent or deaf.” This negative lexicon in this passage reveals how members of society alienate those who do not comprehend or “fit in” with their culture and practices.
“Hiring Based on Age” While reading, “Why Older Workers are Better Workers” by Dave Bernard published in the U.S. News & World Report LP (2012) and “Millennials accused of lax work ethic say it’s not all about 9-to-5” by Ian Shapira published in the Washington Post (2010), I discovered that Employers are indecisive when it comes to hiring youthful workers vs. aged workers. Youthful workers are indeed full of energy and eager to learn while aged workers tend to be more experienced, relaxed, and set in their ways. Age should not be a determining factor when hiring new employees. First of all, it is discrimination. Second of all youthful workers and aged workers, both have something to bring to the table in terms of personalities,
More privileged guys his age would be away at college or have a better career ahead of them. His parents drink Schlitz out of cartoon glasses, and his mom irons his shirts. None of these signs are indicative of an affluent family, but that doesn’t stop him from imagining that he is better than the other middle class “sheep” (735), his dreary manager, or anyone else for that matter. He feels a sense of superiority. He seems to dream of crossing the class line into a higher status, free of the oppressiveness of his own life.
