The principal focus of my thesis was to illustrate a portrait of a first generation Indian immigrant. My thesis is in chronological order, starting with the father's story of emigrating from India. I think the father's story is important in terms of establishing an origin or a foundation for the narrator's own story. Then there is a time jump. The Shop is about the narrator's loss of his innocence inside his family business. Jack London goes on to further develop the relationship of the narrator and his brother Bishan. Over the years the two brothers have become distant until they have a bridge-Avalanche. Fragments deals with death and the passing of an influential figure in the narrator's life, his grandmother. The grandmother plays a critical role in the development of the narrator's belief in the Sikh religion. The piece Zunair, offers an inside look at a relationship of two young men who share many of the same cultural qualities coming from India and Pakistan; except for their religion.
