Although the sisters have similar qualities, they have many different characteristics. Mukherjee is liberal and venturesome whereas Mira is conservative. This comparison is evident being that Mukherjee became an America Citizen and adapted well to the American way of life. She conveyed her flexibility when she was a resident of Canada as well. On the hand, Mira holds firm to her traditional belief, she doesn’t want to transition to an American citizen because she feels truly connected to her native land of India. Mukherjee felt the need to adapt to her surrounding environment and embrace the culture so that becomes her own. Mira wants to benefit from the culture without surrendering her traditions and heritage which is very significant to her.
