“Sexy” assignment for 4/13/11
1. The author provides us with a third-person omniscient view of the story (Meaning we have an overall, all-knowing view of the story as it happens).
2. In one story Miranda has affairs with a man name Dev whose wife is visiting India. In the other story Miranda’s friend Laxmi’s cousin’s husband is cheating on her with another women. In both cases a partner in a relationship is having an affair with someone else.
3. Laxmi’s cousin seems to need her husband even though he cheated on her. It is mentioned that she’ll probably take him back for the sake of their child.
Miranda seems like the type of girl who always wanted to get away and experience something new, which is why she moved away from Michigan to Boston and is why she also has affair with a man who is already married.
Dev would be the type of guy that needs to be pleased all the time. He treasures the sight of beauty a lot (we are made known of this when he likes Miranda’s legs and called her sexy).
4. She buys sexy clothes that are meant to attract Dev even more and make him pleased. However she does not get this reaction from him and he instead wants her to just show her long legs. After this Miranda just throws the sexy apparel in the back of where she keeps her other underwear.
5. At this scene there was a transparent bridge in the Mapparium and when they stood at the opposite end of the bridge (about thirty feet apart) they could hear each other whisper to each other and he told her she was sexy.
6. Different geographical places that are mentioned include India, Michigan, Boston, and Bengal. Again Lahiri refers to the region of India and the East Coast of the U.S. for her story.
