response

reader compassionate with
the man and pity him for
his isolation
- Somewhat, the reader is also
discomforted by the use of a vivid
color: "yellow", the lexical field of

from a man-made world"

- The words chosen by Chitre are able to
make the reader uncomfortable by
using the lexical field of water, strong
adjectives, and a bright color.
- There are a series of verbs without subjects that create the idea of a
routine and make the reader feel compassionate towards the man
because the only way he finds a place in this world, his world, is by
having a routine. And we can figure out that the reason he has a
routine is because he believes that if he changes it he would loose
his place in society.

- "like a word dropped from
a long sentence"
- We can easily figure out
that this is a metaphor.
The sentence could either
be the world or the family
and the word represents
the man. The word
"dropped" emphasizes the
fact the father has been
rejecte

- "cling"
- It is also a reference to the father as to "cling"
means desperately holding. The father is
desperately "clinging" to the life that is left to
him, to his actual place in society that he doesn't
want to loose.

- His general
aspect : bag,
sloths, shoes,
meal
- Through the description of the bag,
the cloths, the shoes and the meal of
the father, the reader can identify the
man himself. All these descriptions
portray the self-neglection of the man.
Also, the meal and cloths are
metaphors of the father: the tea is
"weak", the man too, the chapati is
"stale", he is old, his bag is "falling
apart", he is becoming blind...
