opinion of Manny´s dad of British and Punjabi ctitzens (p.18, l.11 - p.19, l.20)

British citizens

-"not bloody goreh" (l.26)
->they are not good
-"put their own mothers in homes" (l.31)
-"being careful not to become white" (l30)
-"saving Punjabi culture from the grips of the white man" (l.27)
-impure girls

->When talking about British citizens many negations and words which have a negative connotation are used


Punjabi citizens

-"brother, cousin, it´s all the same to us. We are Punjabi" (l.25) ->Punjabi are a union
-"...married to a lovely girl" (l.35)
-"beautiful and pure" (l.37)
-"we look after our families" (l.31) ->take care
-"saving Punjabi culture from the grips of the white man" (l.29)
->Punjabi culture is important, does not like the British people
-"working and getting married" (l.35)
-"Good Jat Sikhs" (l.34) ->religious
-"getting married at the age of seventeen" (l.17)

->positive word fields / words with positive connotations are used
