Symbolism In The Guide By R. K. Narayan

Ever since Reuven got out of the hospital, Reuven’s perspective started to change about Danny and the surroundings around him. The Chosen written by Chaim Potok, began in the early 1940’s, with a softball game between two Jewish parochial schools, on Jewish section of Brooklyn, New York. Each of the two softball teams represents a different kind of Jewish sect. Danny Saunders represents a Hasidic Sect that led by Reb Saunders, while Reuven Malter, the opposing teams, are composed of Modern Orthodox Jews.

“Fine then! But I am better than you in EVERY WAY!” You shout at your former friend, the anger welling up inside of you. “ Don’t even try to act like you could ever be better than me. You never could. So you can stop trying.” As soon as you spit those words out, you finally realize what you’re getting into. “You ARROGANT beast!” Your opponent shouts at you, not hesitantly at all, like the insult was a bitter taste he had to get out of his mouth.

Arrogance can lead to violence, and the story, “The Fight”, by Adam Bagdasarian, can very clearly reflect this theme. In the beginning of the story, Adam was cocky and arrogant.

Once an individual realizes that life is giving him a second chance, he transforms into a new breed of a man; there is an innovation of ideas that arise in him as he realizes that there is no correlation between being safe and staying alive. Ashoke Ganguli becomes a new man after miraculously surviving a train accident on his way to visit his recently blinded grandfather, who was awaiting for his grandchild to give him more books, his getaways from the real world. Moreover, the train accident became the defining moment of Ashoke Ganguli as his love for fiction books became nothing more than a former hobby.
