Behind the Beautiful Forevers End Response

From reading Behind the Beautiful Forevers, I became more familiar with India's culture and the life that they became accustomed to.  Learning about the culture was the most important thing to me because as I was reading about it, I also had some feelings toward it too.  Katherine Boo does an extravagant job of adding some of her the character's representation to help drive the story and some of her general research that helped me understand the culture in Annawadi.  Once I understood how they lived in this place, I could react to it.  For instance, in the book, Sunil cared for his sister and tried everything in his strength and power to support her because he felt like it was his responsibility.  When Boo wrote that, his sister was getting sick and bumps from the rat bites. I immediately reacted with a disgusted face but with an understanding one as well because their living conditions were very polluted and unsanitary.  I think Boo includes her own general research into the story because she has went on a journey herself to actually see the experience of India from her own eyes.  Her style is heavily influenced by descriptive language and imagery, and she also applies old to new information.  Her content is very surreal because I can imagine the things going on in Annawadi while I'm reading.  I also see her style as patient.  She doesn't rush into te next chapter.  She gives a beginning, middle, and end for each character's stories and she goes in depth to explain the situations they are living in.  She also doesn't remain stuck on one character because as I was reading, Boo also seemed aware of her surroundings and stayed alert on things that could be added to her story.
