Q4 5B

I'm reading The Village Bride of Beverly Hills by Kavita Daswani.


Priya was just offered a promotion at her new job from her very high superior, Crispin Bailey. This is exciting because he had no idea who she was until Rex Hauser's publicist recognized Priya for having a lot of poise while handling their situation. Priya was flattered because she had never thought of herself as poised before. Priya doesn't know whether or not she will take the promotion and neither do I. I'd really like to keep reading, but I simply don't have time.

If Priya doesn't take the job, she won't have to hide her career from her family. She has already been hiding her new fashion sense from her family and it would be hard to add the extra stress of hiding a career. She will also have less to leave when she becomes pregnant and will have to tend to her "family duties".

On the other hand, Priya could take the promotion and do what she finds interesting, work as a reporter. She could meet all of the television stars that she thinks are so beautiful and fascinating. If she didn't take the job she would never get to know her full potential, something that I think would help her learn more about herself and grow more as a person.

Even though Priya would have to sneak around and lie to her family, I really hope that she takes the job. It would add stress to her life, but I think it is something that she owes to herself. If she doesn't take the job, she may regret it later on in life.
