So, due to YIG and my own school work (but mostly my procrastination) I have been behind on my Independent Reading book. I just kept pushing it away again and again, but that's on me. However, the parts of The Namesake that I have read have been very interesting and intriguing.
Really, my favorite thing from the book so far has been Gogol's rejection of his original name and then decides that he is going to reject both his parents and his pet name and be "independent" in a way. It makes him appear almost as a hypocrite and creates depth to his character. He was originally for having his name be Gogol, going as far as to come home with a note from school stating it. However, he then begins to rebel against his parents and his name which is what he associates with his parents. This is very typical with teens, especially when they decide to go all rebellious and not care.
Anyway, that's all I can really say as its been while since I last read the book. Hopefully I can get caught up over spring break and give a more insightful blog post. Sorry for the lack of depth everyone.
