white teeth chapter 8-9

These chapters start out with Samad deciding what to do with his affair. He realizes what he is doing is wrong and against his religion. He decides the best way to deal with his problems is to send his child back to Bangladesh so they have their "roots". Samad is proud of him but Alsana is worried about his safety. Millat the son who was sent to Bangladesh was caught on tv burning books. When Millat comes back his mother burns his books. I think the point of this section was to explain the cultural difference between Bangladesh and here. We can see these difference through Alsana and Millat and how they act.
