"The Mango Season"
In this short novel that I am reading, a young woman goes to America to pursue an education, but then she falls in love with an American, which she becomes engaged to. She must go back to India, and while she is there, she realizes that she has become very westernized and thinks India's traditions are foolish and that India is filthy, etc. I saw a large between what her mother thought life was like and how she now saw life. It seemed as though she was completely separating herself from her native country. It made me wonder why this was so, and if the women of the village that we see will be against Western culture or see it as extremely different.
