England is multiculturalism, and that can be an issue. People from different cultural groups can be negatively stereotyped or discriminated against, because of the different cultures. In “just below the surface” by Kate Nivison, we see some similar problems. We have Indrani and Kumar, who have gotten into a nice house in a high-class neighborhood, where some don’t think they belong there. It makes a conflict, between the neighbor, because they see them as dirty and poor immigrant.
The story is 1. Person narrator and we see it from Indrani's point of view. The effect of a 1. person narrator makes the reader receives information through the eyes of the narrator. In this novel, it makes the story more personal, and we get to know how Indrani feels, and then we can relate to the situation she’s in. Indrani has limited knowledge of the events, she’s surprised that the rat infestation is bigger than she thinks. Indrani is sometimes explicit, when she gives many details when we need to hear the whole story, an example in (p.2 ll. 5-8). Indrani is also implicit when she wants us to imagine what some of the characters will say. She wants us to find out that the symbols id example that the rats and the council mean.
