The Question of Dowry & Everything's Arranged

 Last week for Dr. Jayakaran's class we had to do a presentation on the two short stories that we read which is The Question of Dowry and Everything's Arranged. There were eight groups that were suppose to present. The first four groups presented on wednesday and the rest the next Monday.
       Each group had to make a stand on both the stories they have read. The first group had made a clear stand on what they believe is true in both the stories. They were clear in giving their stand and stand on their position with the valid examples which were in the text. Even when some of our classmates shoot them with lots of question, they were confident and explain their stand easily without any hesitation. However, there are some groups who were not very clear with their stand regarding both the stories.
    On Monday, the other  four groups were quite entertaining in giving their stand. All of us in the class were laughing listening to their explanation. Some were having difficulty in explaining their points. However, some of us gave them some support regarding what they were trying to convey. Overall, the presentation was good and we got to exchange a lot of information regarding the dowry system and arranged marriages not only in the Indian culture but also the Malay and Chinese culture too. It was very interesting to know all this.
