First quote: "I could see it now, the headlines back in England: POTENTIAL GENIUS KILLED IN CRASH. Or TEENAGE SENSATION'S POTENTIAL TRAGICALLY TAKEN."
I chose this quote as it's interesting to see how Manjit thinks of himself. He describes himself like a really smart teenager trapped in a cultureworld and this quote shows that it's right.
Second quote: "Game over. GAME OVER!"
This quote is written when Manjit realises that his family left him. I feel very bad for Manjit as he feels betrayed and empty. Luckily his uncle is there to help him and make him feel better.
Third quote: "Wow, you've been everywhere, man. That's so wicked! I was impressed."
The quote gives us an idea of what Manjit thinks of Jag. He want to be just like him. Travel around the world, get a good education and do his own thing.
1. "You foreigners are very strange people" It´s funny how they are indians and they are in their own country they still get called foreigners. 2. "They don´t ask me to and they don´t want my help" Uncle Jagtar is talking about how he don´t fit in to the family anymore because he got himself an education and a job where he´s always traveling. 3. "You have to stop calling me Ji" It´s very nice of Manny to tell Mohan who is from another caste to that he can stp calling him "ji" because Manny likes to see them as equals. //Danne-ji
First quote When Manny gets back from his trip he find out that his family travelled back to England and left him in India, he feels miserable and angry. He thinks that everybody betrays him.
We choose this because it was a sad situation and he felt very miserable and angry.
Second Quote Jag is the '' black sheep'' of the family because he thinks really modern and western, the other family members can´t understand his way of life. He also does not want that Manny gets married.
We choose this because we don't want Manny to get married either. We think it is wrong to be married off against their will. You should be able to choose their love itself.
Third Quote Manny start to pack all his things to escape from India. He is really excited and happy to have a chance to travel back to England
We choose this because he wants to travel back to his family and he finally get the chance to do it. We hope it will be succed.
Page do not remember. Will you call me Manny? I choosed this quote because i think that he doesn`t want to be like his family. He wants to be called Manny because he wants to be more english.
Page 201. I cannot tell you or I will lose the only friend that i have in your family. Because it shows that his uncle Jag is a really nice person who would become friends with the servants.
Page 201. This is for you. This shows that Manny has become good friends with Mohan that he leaves his camera with him and shows appreciation for Mohan
"My old man, my mum, Harry, Baljit, they had all tricked me." (p.165) We think it's important because they left him in India and the only reason is that they wanted him to be like a Punjabi. Who would leave their own kid behind?
"Say hello to your youngest uncle, Manjit" (p.173) WE think it's imortant because he had to meet a someone in his family that was like himself that shows that he can make his own decisions in life.
"Were trainers really thet important" (p.195) It shows that Manny considers Mohan like his only friend in Punjabi. He is also realizing how much it means for poor people to have the little that they already have.
1. "You're all liars, all of you!" this quote is said by Manny, when he found out that he was left in India. We think that he felt very betrayed and tricked by his whole family. Even though Jas had told him that this trip was only vacation.
2. "Ah, but even in the monkey world there are big monkeys and little monkeys. Leaders and followers." This quote was said by Mohan to Manny. We think that Mohan just accepts that their society is divided into different caste, because he was brought up in India and that's how their society works. Manny doesn't agree with this because he was brought up in England and in England the culture and society is completely different and more equal.
3. "That was what made Uncle Jag so special." This is a sentence in a block of text about Manny explaining how hard it would be for him to live in India with his big family, because nothing new happened in the village and they had nothing to talk about. Always the same subjects. Manny thinks Uncle Jag is special because he can actually talk to him. Talk about feelings, what HE wants and important stuff. Uncle Jag has experience and has been all over the world. He is open-minded, unlike the rest of Manny's family. Uncle Jag was also in the same situation as Manny is, and he escaped. We think this is important and interesting because Manny has never had a person to talk to in the family until now.
1. "You foreigners are very strange people" It´s funny how they are indians and they are in their own country they still get called foreigners. 2. "They don´t ask me to and they don´t want my help" Uncle Jagtar is talking about how he don´t fit in to the family anymore because he got himself an education and a job where he´s always traveling. 3. "You have to stop calling me Ji" It´s very nice of Manny to tell Mohan who is from another caste to that he can stp calling him "ji" because Manny likes to see them as equals. //Danne-ji & asma-ji
1. "You´re all liars, all of you"(p.164)- he feels betrayed by his family and he can´t trust anyone.
2."Partly because he was the black sheep of the family" (p.174)- We think that this sentence is interesting because it says that he, uncle Jag, is a bit differant than the other family members. He wasn't living with his family, he probably escaped when he was young becuse he did'n want un arrenged marriage so his is living his own life now. Travelling round the world.
3. " I felt like I was suffocating, my head throbbing." (p.179) He felt suffocated because everything around him got wrong, and it was hard for him.
"You're all liars, all of you!" p.164 We choose this sentence because it describes Manny's feelings about his relatives and family. "They are all liars" is a stong sentence which describes his hate to his families selfish actions. They only want the best for their own sake and to "protect" their family name from rumours. He first thougt that they would never do such a thing, but apparently they can. They lied to his face which made him loose respect for them. But you can say that he lost their respect the day they start hitting him. "He's just a child. What is wrong with all of you?" p.180 We choose this sentence because this proofs that Manny is not the only one who think they are way too strict. His uncle is against the fact that they have left him all alone, and he is only a child, and that they sholudn't treat him that way. This is important to the story because he is the only adult who treats him equally. He will help him escape later on, which is a important keyfactor in the story. "For such a young monkey you are very wise" Mohan said that to Manny, and we have to agree. Manny is a very wise young man. He knows what to do and to handle the situtaion. He just didn't get the apportunity before, which Mohan and Uncle Jag gave him, and he later on prooved himself to be worthy to be treated as an adult.
1st Quote/Sentence: ”Tell me everything. And don't feel like i'm going to disapprove of anything that you say. I've got a very open mind”. I took a deep breath – and told him everything and told him everything about Leicester and school and Ady and Lisa.
We picked this sentence because we think its good that Manny has someone (His uncle Jag) to talk to about everything. If you don't have someone to talk to, then you feel alone and sad. He also gets bad confidence and depressed.
2nd Quote/Sentence: Uncle Jag had then promised to help me escape back to England.
We find this interesting because this sentence is a part of the book/chapter that still will be interesting later in the book. It's gonna be very interesting to see if his uncle Jag helps him or not. His uncle seems very kind and helpful but who knows, maybe he stops caring about Manny.
3rd Quote/Sentence: I could find my passport and get a ticket back to England.
This would be very interesting to see if he finds the passport or not. and we also wonder if he will be able to escape to England with a little help from his uncle.
Quote 1: "I'm going to miss you, too, Mohan. You've been really kind to me, more than most of my family. And you have to stop calling me "ji". I'm not better than you just because I was born into a diffrent caste."
We chose this qoute because Manny shows a lot of respect to Mohan even if he's from the lower class. And his family dosen't care about people from the lower class, they think that they are so much better but not Manny.
Quote 2: "They don't ask me to and they don't want my help. I've offered it before."
We chose this second quote because Jag isn't selfish or bad as Mannys family have told him. He wants to help them but they don't want his help, only because of his lifestyle.
Quote 3: "I live my life for me. Not you. Not our father. Not the family honour. Me!"
The third quote we chose was just because what he says is very important and no one wants to live their life for someone else. You need to make your own mistakes and decisions in life and also learn from them. This is your life no one else's.
This quote is written when Manjit realises that his family left him. His uncle is there to help him and make him feel better and not so abanded.
2/"For such a young monkey you are very wise"
Manji just want to be seen like a smart kid but no one have notis it
3/ "but even in the monkey world there are big monkeys and little monkeys. Leaders and followers."
We think that Mohan just accepts that their contries is divided, because he was bourne in India and that's how their society works. Manny doesn't agree because he was bourne in England and the culture is completely different. (better)
First quote - "We never knew anything about it, honest. They decided with my father before we went. Before we went.´"
We choose this quote because it was already decided that they were planing to make Manny stay.
Second quote - "We are all monkeys in the end"
Mohan said this to Manny because they where talking about the diffrent social classes.
the third Quote - "He has strange ideas about our traditions and our religon." This is what Mannys cusin Jasbir is saying about Their uncle Jag. We think that he is saying this because he and the rest of the family haven´t got any other wiew of life, like Jag and Manny.
Quote 1) ”you think you so clever, hey?Try laughing next month when you´re still here, innit.” (Manny remembers what Harry had told him before they left him in India)
We chose this quote because it was a hint that Manny didn't figure out. Harry basically told Manny what his family was planning to do, but Manny had let his guard down, and started to think that the family wasn't up to any sneaky buisness. He didn't even consider them going behind his back. Back in England he would have figured it out at once. That's why we think this quote is interesting. If he would have kept his guard up as he did back at home, he might not even be in this situation.
Quote 2) ”Ah, but even in the monkey world there are big monkeys and little monkeys. Leaders and followers.”
This is what Manny says to Mohan about the situation in India's society with the segregation between the casts. He claims that even in the animal world the animals have differents positions in their herds. It's the same in the villages of India. Everybody is born in to their position in society, and can't climb up the society scale. Some groups are more important (have higher casts) than others, and that's just the way it is in India. This is what Manny refers to in this quote. He thinks that India is as devoloped as the monkeys society.....
Quote 3) (uncle Jag) ”He intrigued me, partly because he was the blach sheep of the family – the one who was hardly ever mentioned – and partly because he looked to me like a normal bloke, like the people back home.
Manny contect with uncle Jag because he can see similarities between them. Uncle Jag is not like the rest of Manny's family, just like Manny himself, and that gives him hope and strenght to continue being himself and keep on fighting for his own values and opinions. Uncle Jag is an example that you can do what you want with your life, not even your family can stop you.
First quote: "I could see it now, the headlines back in England: POTENTIAL GENIUS KILLED IN CRASH. Or TEENAGE SENSATION'S POTENTIAL TRAGICALLY TAKEN."
ReplyDeleteI chose this quote as it's interesting to see how Manjit thinks of himself. He describes himself like a really smart teenager trapped in a cultureworld and this quote shows that it's right.
Second quote: "Game over. GAME OVER!"
This quote is written when Manjit realises that his family left him. I feel very bad for Manjit as he feels betrayed and empty. Luckily his uncle is there to help him and make him feel better.
Third quote: "Wow, you've been everywhere, man. That's so wicked! I was impressed."
The quote gives us an idea of what Manjit thinks of Jag. He want to be just like him. Travel around the world, get a good education and do his own thing.

"My dad and your dad away in Jullundur and Uncle Gurvinder busy with a new tube well. We will be able to do what we want."
ReplyDeleteI find it intresting because he get some time to have fun and stay away from his family.
"You think you so clever, hey? Try laughing next month when you're still here, innit."
I find it funny beacuse the father can't type.
"You are right, Manjit. We are all monkeys in the end. It's just that we do not have tails,"
It's intresting because he is comparing himself to a monkey to avoid eveything Manjit was about to say.
