		<title>Key scenes of the movie &#8220;Gandhi&#8221;</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The scene on the train in South Africa, where Gandhi is thrown out.
The behaviour of the conductor clarifies to Gandhi the attitude of whites towards coloured people. For the first time he realizes the injustice of the British and their empire.
His arrival in India.
The crowd of people show, who much influence and support Gandhi has [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=siljeheat.wordpress.com&blog=3180140&post=25&subd=siljeheat&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<title>Whereas the narrator decides to get the baby, Olivia opts for an abortion. What could have been the author&#8217;s reason to end the plots in such different ways? How do you feel about the way both women deal with their pregnancy?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I think with the different ends of the two plotlines, the author wanted to show the differences between Olivia and the narrator. Both have different characters and their situations are different as well. Olivia has a weak character and she is dependant of a man, who cares for her. I already showed in the letter from Olivia [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=siljeheat.wordpress.com&blog=3180140&post=24&subd=siljeheat&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<title>Write a letter from Olivia to Marcia concerning her dilemma regarding the paternity and her pregnancy</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Dear Marcia,
yesterday I found out, that I&#8217;m pregnant. As I already wrote to you, I have been wishing to gat a baby for several months. I thought I could strengthen my relationship to Douglas. Well, everything could be perfect now, if I knew the father. I&#8217;m not sure if I had already told you, but [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=siljeheat.wordpress.com&blog=3180140&post=23&subd=siljeheat&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<title>What attitude to abortion comes across in this section, and what does it say about Indian society?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[In this section, Maji informs the narrator that she was pregnant. She also tells her about the midwives in Satipur, which will come to her to offer her their services. Later, she also tells the narrator, that she had been a midwife, too, and she could help her. At first the narrator doesn’t understand, but [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=siljeheat.wordpress.com&blog=3180140&post=22&subd=siljeheat&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<title>Why does Olivia so eagerly wish to have a baby?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[In my opinion, there are two possible reasons, why Olivia would love to have a baby.
On the one hand, there&#8217;s the fact that she is alone. She has Harry and the Nawab, but if she had a baby, she would have something to care for, a new occupation. Something like a task, she has to [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=siljeheat.wordpress.com&blog=3180140&post=21&subd=siljeheat&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<title>Describe the relationship between the narrator and Chid</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The relationship between the narrator and Chid is somehow one-sided.The narrator and Inder Lal find Chid in a tomb, where he is living. He is ill and in a very bad condition. He asks the narrator,  if he might live with her. The narrator is reluctant, but Inder Lal seems to be interested in him [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=siljeheat.wordpress.com&blog=3180140&post=20&subd=siljeheat&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<title>The suttee</title>
		<description><![CDATA[In my opinion, the author of the thesis interpretated Olivias behavior wrong. I don&#8217;t think that she is in favour for this ritual, as she isn&#8217;t interested in the indian culture in general. She pretends to be, because she is looking for attention. Anybody, especially Douglas, is interested in her opinion. They seem to ignore [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=siljeheat.wordpress.com&blog=3180140&post=17&subd=siljeheat&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<title>Plotting the Story (pp.24-49)</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Explain why it is difficult (p. 30, l. 11) for Olivia in Satipur.
I think there are several circumstances, which make it difficult for Olivia to live in Satipur. 
She is married with Douglas for just four months. This is not too long, so I’m sure that she misses him a lot. Douglas works the whole [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=siljeheat.wordpress.com&blog=3180140&post=16&subd=siljeheat&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

The “odd trio” contains a couple and another young man. They are British. The couple got interested in the Hindu religion, when they visited a swami in London. The atmosphere and his words about love [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=siljeheat.wordpress.com&blog=3180140&post=15&subd=siljeheat&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

Biography of the unkempt European (Diary entry No. 1)
If I had known what was waiting for me in India, I would have stayed at home. My aim was to let the old, boring world behind me and settle down in India, this marvellous country. Some friends of mine, who had already visited India, had told [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=siljeheat.wordpress.com&blog=3180140&post=7&subd=siljeheat&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>
