READER RESPONSE CHAPTER 5

According to the Chapter five, it shows how Gogol faced the true about his name when his father finally decided to do it. The author tried to describe what can happen if a person try to hide something for a long time. In this case Ashoke suffered the reject of his son, because he didn't like his name, he didn't know the meaning, he thought a lot of wrong things because his father never tell him what really had happened. That part of the chapter reminds me to a case in my family when my grant grandmother hide to one of her sons that he was adopted. He was not really his son but he was her nephew. Her sister gave her that child because she was too young, and she didn't wan to raise that little boy by herself. My gran grandmother was already married, and it was no problem for her to raise that child. The years passed over, and when that child realized about the true, he wanted to die, just because her aunt was her mother and her mother was her aunt. That is an example of how the life can change when the people hide things that later will affect somebody else.
