I notice that Changez is starting to question the values he once admired. Things that used to excite him now feel uncomfortable. This makes the story feel more reflective and thoughtful. It shows how experiences can change the way someone sees the world.

By page 52, I feel that Changez is starting to notice small moments where he does not fully belong. Even when things seem fine on the surface, there is a quiet feeling of distance. It makes me think about how belonging is not just about success, but also about being accepted for who you are.

By page 38, I notice how Changez is still trying hard to fit into American culture. He seems proud of his success, but I can tell he is always watching how others see him. This makes me feel like he is not fully comfortable being himself. It makes me think about how tiring it can be to constantly try to belong.

By page 32, I was really noticing how confident Changez sounds when he talks about his life in America, but that confidence feels very weak. He seems proud of his success, yet there’s an undercurrent of insecurity, especially in how he measures himself against others. It makes me wonder if his sense of belonging is real or something he is forcing himself to believe.

I can see that david is being forced to grow up faster than he should, and I can feel his confusion and loneliness. He’s starting to see the world not in black and white but in shades of gray. It’s sad but also powerful to watch him realize that adults can be both good and deeply flawed at the same time

on page 65 it talk about David understanding of the adult world keeps deepening, and it’s uncomfortable to see how fast innocence can disappear. He’s learning that people he once trusted completely are capable of deep wrongs and that realization changes everything. It’s such a powerful moment of growing up.

David’s perception on his father is shifting. What once seemed like quiet strength now feels like hesitation or even fear. It’s interesting how growing up sometimes means seeing your parents’ flaws for the first time and deciding what kind of person you want to be in response.

I can fell the tension between justice is becoming impossible to ignore. I can feel David’s father being pulled in two directions between protecting family and doing what’s right. What’s fascinating how Watson doesn’t make it simple; even the “right” choice feels painful and isolating. It really feel me to think about what integrity costs in a small community where everyone’s connected.

How powerful is David that starts to sense that adults aren’t always right or honest. The way he observes his parents’ conversations trying to piece together what’s really happening feels so real. It’s the beginning of him losing that childhood trust in authority, and Watson captures that tension beautifully through subtle details, not big revelations.

In the books,I see the Davy’s family being kind to Marie who is the native tribe's girl,but Marie did not show any sign that she loved the family.Even when she is sick,she refuses to see the doctor.I surmise that she has not identified or adapted “ outsider‘.Although Davy and his father were born in Montana.Why does she not adopt Davy's family?Is that related to the experience she went through?
