READER RESPONSE
During the time that Ashoke was waiting at the hospital, he started to remember about his childhood. He had good memories of his grandfather, because he taught him to read with love. In this chapter, Ashoke remember one day that he was asked to care his grandfather because he was blind, and he needed that Ashoke read some books for him. On the way to his grandfather's house, he met a guy on the train called Ghosh. That guy tried to convince him to travel to England or America because he had a good sense of freedom. After that Gosh gave him a business card in case that he wanted to contact him. However, Gosh told to Ashoke this phrase: "Pack a pillow and a blanket and see as much of the world as you can” (16).
My point of view about this part of the chapter is:
Gosh tried to say that for traveling and know the world, he did not need anything more than one thing. In this case, he stated an example with a pillow and a blanket, just to say that he should go without care about the rest. Sometimes the opportunities comes once in the life
Suddenly, the train collapsed and a big accident occurred. There died a lot of people, including Gosh. Ashoke was severely injured. He was paralyzed, he almost lost one of his legs, but he recovered from that accident. In consequence, he suffered of claustrophobia.
