Summary: With advancing forward in the book, I start to realize how the structure of the book is set up. Each chapter relates to one question on the 12 question quiz show "W3B". I realized that because at the end of every chapter, it refers back to the beginning of the book where the video tape of the "W3B" episode with Ram featured in it. Well what happens in these pages is basically Mr. Shantaram (a drunkard) harming his wife and daughter and Ram is next door listening in on all of this.
Quote: " One night he exceeds all limits and throws a piping hot cup of tea at his wife. Gudiya tries to shield her mother, and the burning liquid falls on her instead, scalding her face. She shrieks in agony. Shantaram is so drunk he doesn't even realize what he has done" (Swarup 62).
Reaction: I didn't really have a surprising reaction because usually people who are drunk are going to act out and end up doing something such as this. I would say that the only thing that may have threw me off was that this man was never found out about (yet). The only reason why he isn't found out yet is because Ram keeps his mouth shut and is really letting Mr. Shantaram get away with things here. Let's see what happens later on in the book...
