Compare and Contrast of Gogol and Rachel from The Girl who Fell
    
Summary to a Sequel:
   Gogol has a new job as a architect. In this new sequel to The Namesake. Gogol faces troubles with a mysterious girl he met on the train and what happens where old memories come back. But also family troubles of finding out the past of his father. This book shows how much things can change in a year and how in the end things always find a way of sorting themselves out.

Deleted scene (goes in at the end of Chapter 7):
 Ashima sat alone in a library with no one around. Ashoke would be at work and Gogol would be off at school or work. She could hear the silence of the empty library. She wondered what her father would be doing. If her mother was alright. The smell of books reminded Ashima of Ashoke. She sat her spot for a while before getting up and take a look around the quiet place. As she walked through the shelves and shelves of old books. She keeps walking, but then her foot hit something. She bends down to pick up the thing that happens to be a book. Surprisingly it was a book from the author Nikolai Gogol. She took the book back to where she was sitting and began to read until it was almost time for closing. She left the book where she was sitting. In that silent library that reminded her of her husband.

I am very real- freewrite

I think that Vonneguts response to the burning of his books is a reasonable response because he put time and work to write a good book that showed what he wanted. He never wrote the book to get a lot of money. You can defiantly tell by his tone that he wasn't happy about the event. Also people should destroy something just because they say its against what they think. people should read and listen to multiple different views because if you do then you get to understand something you might not have before. And if you do disagree with the point of view then you become smarter and you can use the information you learned to prove your own point. yo


The rhetorical question in paragraph 3 reveals .  By framing this as a question, Vonnegut is __ .

I agree with the quote "They try to teach you that we don’t belong here." because personally i feel like that's true. Learning history in elementary school and middle school i learned about different culture like hey were savages or dead. When both of those statements are wrong. In school i felt like some cultures and people were written about like they weren't even human that they were animals.

I disagree with "Race studies teaches students to hate America." because being a Korean adoptee that knows little of the Korean culture and history i feel like that say i cant learn about the culture my birth parents were from and if i learn about it i will be anti-american and ill be trying to take down america. I personally believe that what ever culture or race it is everyone has the right to learn more about it. Just because your learning about a different culture doesn't mean your going to be anti-american and hate america.

Final poem


The pain makes things hard to do
and the worry for family makes you strong
I wish that you could wake up and things would be better
I wonder what it was like for you
Walking through the halls of your kindergarten year
The smell of summer reminds me of you
I want to see your smiling face
Your happy face makes me feel like I have butterflies in my stomach
