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.
