If they just use etc., then it takes away the movement of how broad the range of novels truly were. https://nowcomment.com/documents/109227?scroll_to=1077139 https://nowcomment.com/documents/109227?scroll_to=1077139 Tue, 04 Sep 2018 09:54:38 -0400 While reading has helped him find himself, I think he also is doing it to prove he won't be held to a lower account like other Indians. He's trying to prove he won't be held back by social expectations. https://nowcomment.com/documents/109227?scroll_to=1077083 https://nowcomment.com/documents/109227?scroll_to=1077083 Tue, 04 Sep 2018 09:57:35 -0400 He is discussing his perspective on Indians in a non-Indian world. He's proving that they can be more if they didn't restrict themselves to the boundaries that non-Indians expect them to be like. https://nowcomment.com/documents/109227?scroll_to=1077046 https://nowcomment.com/documents/109227?scroll_to=1077046 *No matter their decision, it is a win-lose situation, but with knowledge comes power, and he's trying to show Indians how pitiful they'll be if they don't take the opportunity to learn * By using we/they he shows the split between the two parties of Indians, by using they, it shows what the Indians were expected to do, but we showed their potential *If knowledge is such a powerful thing, then why would they accept failure?
