Passages to India. by A. Gautam
Tabitha Turner had been to India before, but she had no memory of the language. She often felt that India was in her blood. Tabitha's grandfather, James Turner I, was an officer in the East India Company, and her father, James Turner II, was born in Surat, India. Even her mother, Beatrice, was born to a British family living in Bengal. James Turner II had returned to India to establish a soft drink company and had brought his family to live there for a few years. The company had failed miserably as India had changed tremendously after the Independence.
"Why don't I remember a single word, Mother?" Tabitha often asked her mother for an easy explanation for complicated things like that. She knew that she had spent her infant years listening to Hindi lullabies from her Indian nanny. And she needed the language because she was returning to India as a volunteer for the Peace Corps.
"Maybe you will remember when you get there," Beatrice, now a middle-aged woman, replied. She had forgotten many Hindi words herself. In her memory, India had transformed. It was no longer the exotic land she had read and heard about. She had known the real India. Beatrice held her young daughter's hands and slowly spoke, "You just have to remember what you see is more real than what you have been told."

The major was a little man with upturned mustaches. he had been in the war in libya and wore two wound-stripes. he said that if the thing went well he would see that i was decorated. i said i hoped it would go well but that he was too kind. i asked him if there was a big dugout where the drivers could stay and he sent a soldier to show me. i went with him and found the dugout, which was very good. the drivers were with it and i left them there. what effect does hemingway’s limited use of adjectives have? it slows down the narration by interrupting the action. it makes the few descriptive words he does use more vivid and forceful. it makes the narrator seem powerless and insincere. it prevents the readers from filling in the details with their own experiences.
