"She persuaded herself that a trip to India would be just the thing for Sophie Mol... She was haunted by that decision for as long as she lived." (pg 238) The book is finally at its turning point. Where everything is coming together, pieces of the puzzles are making sense, and the tragedy is at the doorstep. Though the thing I want to talk about is how Roy uses ways to describe people as hole's in the universe. Like "The stern schoolteacher-shaped Hole in the Universe (who sometimes slapped)" (pg 237) Why does Roy use this way to describe people? What image does it create for you and what are your thoughts behind her using this?

She does this because Estha and Rahel have active and very imaginative minds, so when they see something, they give it a name or they say it is something that better decribes the object or person. like the "orangedrink lemondrink man"
