question#1 In addition to Lilia in "When Mr. Pirzada Came to Dine," children play important roles in several stories in the collection including "Mrs. Sen's," "Sexy," and "The Treatment of Bibi Haldar" in this latter reading assignment. What is the function of the child in these stories? How do they serve to illuminate the protagonist(s), conflict, or themes of the story? How do they contribute to the resolution? You may also compare back to children in the earlier stories.

question #2 Specifically in reference to "Mrs. Sen's" and "Third and Final Continent" (but perhaps also in reference to other stories featuring immigrant characters like "When Mr. Pirzada Came to Dine") discuss the experiences of immigration and assimilation. What are the challenges or obstacles encountered? What factors contribute to immigrant characters' successful or unsuccessful adjustment to life in America? How do Lahiri's immigrant characters compare to those of Kingston and Okada?
