    There are times in individual’s lives when sudden realisations may alter their perception of themselves and their place in the world. The place, context and setting in significant moments in time throughout individual’s lives cause such realisations occur. This can be seen in both the novels “The Namesake” by Jhumpa Lahiri and “All Quiet on the Western Front” by Erich Remarque, through the experiences of their characters Paul, Gogol and Ashima. Paul is confronted by his experiences on the front line, where his kinship between his fellow comrades have entrenched him from his own family and society. Likewise, those significant moments partaken by Gogol and Ashima, school excursions and getting a job, have both caused social disturbance and an increased recognition of one’s identity.…

    The book switches between the past and the present, with both focusing on telling the stories that are not told. The story in the present tells about Deng being mugged, and the changes it makes to his life. The past begins when Deng is a young boy in the village of Marial Bai, and explores his life as he is separated from his family, and travels as a refugee first to Ethiopia, then Kenya, and finally to America. There is an emphasis on storytelling within the novel, and many references to people Deng is imagining telling his story to. “I will tell stories to people who will listen and to people who don't want to listen. All the while I will know that you are there. How can I pretend that you do not exist? It would be almost as impossible as you pretending that I do not exist.” (pg. 535). The constant references to storytelling explain a lot about Deng’s personality, and helps the reader to create images of the events and places occurring in the book. The storytelling manner provides easy to understand and imagine descriptions of the refugee camps, mass killings, SPLA attacks, and trips to the city of…
