The Namsake (Part 8)

Gogol is starting to realize that the rudeness towards their culture is mainly meant for his mother and father. He notices the smirks made by cashiers to his parents' accents; some people would rather direct their conversation to Gogol than to his parents. When Gogol is in the sixth grade they go on a field trip where they make three stops. Their third stop is to a graveyard and they are given sheets of paper and crayons to trace the names on headstones. When the other kids start to rub different headstones they discover that some have the same last name as they do. Gogol knows that he will never find a Ganguli and that there will never be a Ganguli headstone because he will be cremated not buried. When Gogol begans to rub headstones on his own paper he finds unique names. He quickly becomes attach to the names because of their oddness; his name is just like theirs and he can imagine how they felt. When he shows his mom his art she is hurt that she has to turn it away because she doesn't agree with having names of dead people in her kitchen. He hides the names in a safe place in his room where he knows that his mom will never find them.

Quote: "He rolls them up, takes them upstairs, and puts them in his room, behind his chest of drawers, where he know his mother will never bother to look, and where they will remain, ignored but protected, gathering dust for years to come."

Question: When Gogol gets older and he discovers the names he hid will he explain the significance of the names to his mom, Ashima?
