Blue Jasmine

This book is sort of like a biography but it's closer to historical-fiction. The author (Kashmira Sheth) grew up in both India and Iowa City, then she recreated herself into the book. Seema an eleven year old girl who lives in India has a wonderful life she lives with her Sister, Ma and Ja. Cousins, Kaki, Kaka, Daddima, and Daddija. Her dad also has a pretty good job as a microbiologist, he very much enjoys it and it pays well. But he got a job offer for and better paying, high class job in Iowa City. At the end I fifth grade Seema will move there. No worries, but finally summer rolls around and they're off. I think this book is really amazing, I liked or I guess thought it was interesting how she thinks of America. How when she goes out side there are horrible monsters on the street, how there are very few people taking walks, how when she goes to the market everything is different and needs a substitute and how the substitutes aren't the right thing at all. I think that this book shows just how much everyday things are taken for granted, and how every culture has it's own ways, but that they are also interesting and respectful they are.
