My+First+Day

Summary: In My First Day she was to sick that she couldn't continue her college courses and she had to much pride to go back to her mother. She wrote to her mother to tell her that she was going to work in an Eastern Indian School. Then she started out towards the East. She was waiting tired and hot for a car to pick her up to go to her new job as a teacher. When she entered to school grounds their were large trees and houses. She was then shown to her room which had a small carpet with two windows which had mustard yellow curtains. It had a bed in it, too. She sat down and thought for a minute. Then someone knocked on the door. It was a big grey-haired man, which she knew right away was her employer. He then said to her " Ah ha! so your the little Indian girl who created the excitement amoung then school orators!". Which from that she heard a sound of dissapiontment in hiis voice. He left and she stood their until she could not hear the foot steps anymore. Then she went back into her room, threw herself onto her bed and closed her eyes, and forgot her good intension.

Analysis: In the chapter before My First Day she had gone home to visit her mother. In doing that her mother and the people in her village did not accept her new ways. With that she didn't agree on much and didn't really fit in. So, when she couldn't finish her collage courses she did not want to go home so that she did not have to face her mother again. Because of that she decided to get a job and stay in the East. When she got to te East they did not accept her either. That means that she is in the middle of two societies and culture, and doesn't get along the same way others would.
