Okay so I'm gonna reflect on the essay by Mukherjee. Reading her essay, I felt like I actually kind of understood her feelings. In human geography class, we did a unit on religion and well for Hinduism, there is the caste system. Your whole destiny was pre-determined whether you liked it or not. It was nearly impossible to go up a level and very possible to go down a level. It's not wonder that she treasured the title 'American' all to herself. Here in America, there is no caste system or anyone to judge you based on what last name you have.
