Ashoke and Ashima have moved to the suburbs and Ashima feels like it is more drastic than moving from India to America. Gogol attends nursery at the university his dad works at. When they buy toys or furniture for the house they purchase them from yard sales. Ashima thinks to herself that her family and friends would think this action embarrassing. Gogol is just beginning to have memories and among his first memories will be of other kids playing in the neighborhood. Ashima and Ashoke take Gogol on car rides and they just drive around and they stop at the beach. It is empty by the time they get there, but they stay and spend time together as a family. At the end of summer Ashima is pregnant again and she doesn't feel to well or have enough energy to play or cook for Gogol and Ashoke. Gogol is use to having his mom there to cook and play with him not his dad so he has no appetite and does not act like a normal child.
Quote: "At first Ashima is reluctant to introduce such items into her home, ashamed at the thoght of buying what had originally belonged to strangers..."
Question: How will Gogol adjust to life with a new sibling and not being the center of his parents' attention?
