Well this reading was definitely food for thought... Not only because I did not understand everything that was written, but also because some points mentioned in this reading were easy to relate to. Even though the purpose of this article was dissect "White Tigers", it went off to discuss feminism and gender roles. Since "White Tiger" is primarily focused on gender roles it is not a surprise that this reading does the same.  As mentioned by the author, an American reading this story has a different perspective as compared a person living in the part of the world where the narrator grew up. As Americans we are lucky to have the rights that we do. We are allowed to go to school, become independent and become successful-rather than being just a slave and servant.

Overall, this reading incorporated a lot of information from previous passages and this caused tremendous confusion. However, at the end of the day we have to make the best of what we got and extrapolate the concepts that are most familiar to us.
