Zhang-Mi "Long Rice" Kreger

Zhang-Mi Kreger, or "Long Rice Kreger", enters the world in 2025, right after the marriage of Alex Kreger and Jillian Ertel.  Alex, graduates from Princeton University top of his class, with every single honor possible.  He then starts a medical practice with, "The Thomas Donley."  They both specialize in brain surgery. Jillian Ertel, the mother of Long Rice Kreger, graduates from the University of Michigan with a law degree.  However, she does not work, and in fact she did not even have to go to college, she married Alex.  She put her Asian influence on their child, who grows up with deep resentment of the name Long Rice.  He remains a problem child, first stealing cookies from the cookie jar, then robbing kids of their lunch money, and then getting into some illegal and underage substances.  However, he remains a genius child and goes to college at age 16, already in YZ Calculus, which is like 26 or some letters from AB Calculus.  As a matter of fact they had to invent new math classes for him.  However, despite his parents wishes he does not go into a career with math and becomes a chef at five star hotel in Las Vegas.  As a matter of fact he resents the very existence of his parents.  After all, they gave him the name Long Rice, who wouldn't hate that?  That's much worse than Gogol Ganguli, at least Gogol was actually named after someone.  Sadly, his mother dies, in the Chinese Civil War of 2050, she went back to fight for the home country.  Long Rice then realizes his connections with his Chinese heritage.  He goes back to his dad, and together with Thomas Donley they invent a machine that can bring people back to life. They successfully manage to revive Jillian and patent their machine which sells for trillions of dollars.  They then buy Hawaii from the United States and live in happiness with great weather, dozens of servants, champagne and caviar (like all the expensive stuff that rich people really like), and a machine that can revive them forever.  The end.  Now, this is just my take on what I think might possibly happen in a couple of years, or if Alex and Jillian ever had a child, or maybe it stands as a completely far-fetched story that in all probability would never happen.  Either way, my point remains that if Alex and Jillian ever had a child, it would share many similarities with Gogol Ganguli.  Clearly Jillian's Asian cultural influence would have an effect over the child, most likely in the version of a name.  The child would most likely resent its culture just like Gogol did for no reason (this could be disputed).  However, as Jillian and Alex stand as very intellectual individuals (Alex as a national-merit semi finalist), they would place many great expectations on the child.  The child, just like Gogol would revert to a state of independence and long for something to make him different (like how Gogol went in architecture, and Long Rice went into the culinary arts).  Similarly, the pressure might cause their child to rebel in his or her teenage years and become a delinquent.  Also, as they married young they will expect their child to follow in their footsteps, pressuring he/ she (whom I will now call Alex Jr.) to find a spouse.  This also parallels how Gogol's parents felt a certain way about relationships, however they shunned the practice of conventional dating.  I believe that just like Gogol,  Alex Jr. will face cultural and family pressures, causing him to embark on the process of self-discovery.  Just like Gogol, he will reflect, through a symbol like the "Overcoat," and understand that he cannot escape his past and will just have to take life as it comes.  (Disclaimer: this was not meant to bash Alex and Jillian in any way, and I'm sure that if they had a child it would be the smartest and most wonderful child anyone could ever ask for, no really.  I just thought that somehow, if Alex and Jillian had a child it had the potential to parallel Gogol in a few ways, maybe more so than anyone else, of course this is just my opinion.)
