For our final project of our Ethnic Literature course, we chose to examine the film "The Namesake". The film focuses on issues of cultural identity among first generation children. While keeping the film in mind, we conducted interviews with immigrants and children of immigrants to get a better insight into one's view or search for identity and the silencing that can occur as a result of that.
In the interview, Qurin tells about his experiences in America after having immigrated to Dallas for work. His experiences are not exactly like those of Samad's children because they came to America for different reasons. When People immigrate for different reasons, they can have different opinions about being in that place. Millat and Magid's react to their parents' beliefs in a dramatic way because they do not agree with the ways of their parents. In his interview, he tells about how he feels about his identity.
