The White Tiger Analysis

The book The White Tiger is by Avarind Adiga. This book is about a man named Munna, which translates to “boy,” who takes on the name Balram, which is given to him by one of his teachers. He tells his story to the Chinese Premiere, Wen Jiabao over the course of seven nights via email.

While Balram is working for Ashok, he struggles eternally with how the caste system works and how servants are not treated as human beings. After struggling for a long time with this, Balram decides to kill his boss and to create a driving company and make more money than he ever has before.

He was really working and he promised that he would send money home, but he never did, which was very wrong. His grandmother threatened to tell his boss about this, which could cost him his job, so that could ruin everything for Balram and the rest of the family. Balram was being very selfish with his money. His grandmother cared enough to pay for his driving
