My Own Interpretation...

In my piece that we created in class, I depicted the separation of ideas and the confusion that comes along not having a sense of home. This idea is drawn from the “Light Beer and Peanuts” piece in the Multicultural Literature in Contemporary Italy. On one side of the separation there is Italy while on the other there is India. The main themes of the short story can be depicted in the bold words “Anger,” “Family” and “Borders.” The overlying theme in this piece is the questioning of one’s identity as the main character is doing in the story. Confusion circulates her identity which therefore explains its’ location within the question mark. Quotes are drawn to depict each setting and written on each of their respective sides. All of this helps depict the idea of confusion of one’s identity that can be seen in the “Light Beer and Peanuts” short story.
