Description
In this lesson, students analyze pages 268–291 of The Namesake, in which Gogol learns of Moushumi’s affair, and Ashima hosts her last Christmas party before leaving for India. Students consider how Lahiri’s structural choices contribute to the aesthetic impact of the novel’s ending, and apply their analysis independently in a written response at the beginning of the lesson. This response informs students’ participation in a whole-class discussion that follows.
