A Temporary Solution For A Permanent Problem

“Mansi, your grandfather was very religious, but he also knew that India is not the same now that it was when his father was a priest,” Dad thought very carefully as he spoke. “He had to admit that no matter how hard I worked, it would be difficult to raise you and your brother here if we wanted secure futures for

Jhumpa Lahiri’s short story, “A Temporary Matter,” presents the failing marriage of an Indian couple, Shoba and Shukumar. Lahiri illustrates how the grief of losing someone can lead to a broken relationship. Shukumar and Shoba have been ignoring each other since Shoba had a miscarriage. The tragedy changes the way they treat each other. Their grief makes both of them become two different people. A temporary matter has forced them to communicate with each other and since then, Shukumar and Shoba are comfortable talking to each other and even making love with each other. This temporary matter has somehow temporarily reconnected them together. Jhumpa Lahiri intentionally uses the symbols of darkness, light, house, the baby and neighbors to represent a broken relationship of a married couple.

He hears that he will not find happiness within himself nor find spiritual peace. He believes that not even the love of his parents and best-friend Govinda is enough to suffice him.

From the day a person is born until the day they die, their family is always there. Friends may come and go numerous times in a lifetime, but a family bond is a bond that is formed like no other. Writing My Wrongs, by Shaka Senghor, is an autobiography that takes the reader through the life Senghor lived. From a young age Senghor’s parents clashed on every idea and topic known to man. After years of dealing with constant disputes, Senghor moved out, finding himself living on the streets. He sold whatever he could, including crack, to survive another day. A couple of years into this new lifestyle was all it took for Senghor to end up back at his father's house. Soon after, Senghor became involved in the drug world once again, but this time his seemingly innocent argument would escalate into the death of the customer, landing Senghor in jail for at minimum, 19 years. Throughout these years his father and son visited, motivating Senghor to be released from prison as soon as he could possibly manage. In Writing my Wrongs by Shaka Senghor, the role of family impacted Senghor the most on his journey through life and redemption.

Momaday's book collapses conventional divides between myth and history: by fusing the two he suggests that the conventional white conception of history as an enclosed and protected category is inherently suspect, and without speaking of politics makes a claim for other, equally valuable ways of knowing. However, in this sense his method of storytelling is political, because he suggests that the Indian ways of interpreting experience are just as valid as

We held onto only a single bodyguard. I reconnected with old friends, and dedicated my life to work and volunteering. My children were all truly happy in their careers. All of them joined me at the clinic. My young grand children were living completely normal lives and making great friends. One night I was feeling a bit tired, so I decided to head home early. I said goodbye to my daughter the clinic manager, and then I was on my way. I walked about two blocks before I realized I was being followed. The suburban streets were dark and deserted, so I ran into an ally trying to escape. The young man eventually found me. I recognized the young man; he was the son of a local butcher, a butcher who was killed by my father for an unpaid debt. He shakily pulled out a revolver. “For my father, I’m sorry,” he said and then proceeded to shoot me. I crumpled to the ground, but I did not make a sound. I had known this day would come. I deserved this. I knew I would have to pay for my crimes and the crime of my ancestors. My mind went to my family. They would never face this fate, or be a part of this madness. I had liberated them from their past. I after 200 years of Iladio crime had offered my children and future generations a chance to escape, a chance at peace, freedom, and

The ferryman came to rescue Siddhartha from his agony of his son’s suddenly departure. They both went back to their home in the ferry. As a great friend, the ferryman did not spoke a word about this issue, but always showed support to his dear friend in his depression. “Even bad people, even thieves and robbers have children and love them, and are being loved by them, all except for me” (125). As time passed, Siddhartha’s heart was still hurt as he watched travelers with their children on board. He felt envious of others, and wounded by the pain.

This quote is an example of how in Indian society, even a distant relative can exert life-changing influence on a person. On the contrary, in the Patton’s family life there seems to be no influence coming from extended family members. The limited time frame in which Arun lives with the Pattons does not provide extensive insight of the family’s life. Because of this particular way that Desai chose to write about the Pattons, the reader is led to believe that affiliations with extended family are inexistent in the American family’s household.

A workaround is an informal practice to accomplish a task in the workplace; usually indicating a poor fit of the system or technology. It’s a way to get around a system not working efficiently, temporary fix to a workflow block. An example would be a nurse placing the patient’s armband on the bed to scan, because the scanner isn’t reading the barcode on the patients arm or wrist (McGonigle & Mastrian, 2015). Workarounds can save time, solve problems, address poor workflow designs, and compensate for inadequate technology. On the other hand it’s an error, shortcut, and violation; in a profession (healthcare) that relies on routine, organization, and safe practices. In healthcare rules, policies, and technologies standardize care (Vogelmeier,

But this thought did not last long. When only two of them were sitting together in the car, after Mr. Das and the kids left for trekking, at the hills at Udayagiri and khandagiri they had some private conversations. This conversation, all of a sudden changed the thoughts of Mr. Kapasi towards Mrs. Das. His thoughts changed from deserving her so much to doubting her behavior. When talking about Bobby Mrs. Das said, “he is not his.” This quotation brought abrupt change in him. He felt prickle on his skin. He reached into his shirt pocket for the small tin of lotus-oil balm he carried with him at all times, and applied it to three spots on his forehead. He was shocked by this news, totally shocked. She did not even hesitate to tell how she made silent love with one of the friend of Mr. Das and as a result of which Bobby was born. This was totally unacceptable to Mr. Kapasi. He had not expected a woman to disclose this
