Thoughts on Jhumpa Lahiri

I feel as though this book greatly parallels Jhumpa Lahiri's life in several ways, possibly alluding to events in her life.  Both the Ganguli's and Jhumpa share an Indian background and moved to America from another continent.  In this way Jhumpa shares her perspectives of America through Ashoke and Ashima Ganguli.  Similarly, I feel as though Gogol represents some the experiences, mistakes, and misfortunes in her life.  Gogol's deviant nature displayed toawrds his parents and his smoking pot, might have possibly remained actions that Lahiri also partook in as a youth.  Similarly, Gogol's multiple relationships might have roots within Lahiri's own personal experiences, of which she pulls from.  Also, quite possibly she might have based Moushumi off of herslef, as they both grew up in England, later moving to America.  I believe that Lahiri draws from life experiences, which serves as to why the events in her book prove so vivid and descriptive.  Which, also serves as to why the narrator allows the reader to draw in their own personal perspective to create a variety of feelings and tones throughout the story.  Clearly, Lahiri posses grerat skill as a writer, I believe that wiritng allows for an outlet for her to convey her interesting and diverse life experiences from.
