Q4 5A

I'm reading The Village Bride of Beverly Hills by Kavita Daswani but I haven't read a lot this week because of AP testing.

Some more cultural differences that I've read about include meals. Indian food usually uses a lot of spices and it is Priya's job to cook the meals. They always eat early, but thats probably just their family and not a cultural difference. Also, married Hindu women wear sindoor in their hair down their part. It is a powder I believe. Ashima in the namesake also wears it. Another difference is in the duties that are expected of a new bride from her in-laws. Priya's in-laws expect her to clean the house and cook for them and because she isn't pregnant, they asked her to get a simple job. If she were areporter, she believes that her family would become very upset. "My in-laws, their faces scowling and voices raised in irritation, flashed through my mind"(115). Priya's in-laws play as large of a role as Priya herself in deciding her career path.
