Each episode further tells the reader about the narrator’s Indian background and how each important event in life and in his education that happened that year, shaped his identity. The structure also developed the theme more.…

One of the things that we will recognize about Hardin's article, notwithstanding, is that whether he is correct or wrong, he paints with an extremely expansive brush. This makes it a decent contention for the…
