Salman Rushadie’s literacy is about Bombay. The Broken Mirror is about how he thinks that the India he knew is different from the India now. He was able to recall how India was when he remembered. He remembers Bombay from the 1950’s and 1960’s. It is a good literacy paper because he can remember a lot about his childhood. I thought that when he went back to his old house was weird and a little odd, that he just went there and stood outside. He didn’t want to see the inside because he didn’t want the image changed in his head. I think that this didn’t work because it was kind of confusing and he made a lot of jumps.  I didn’t like how he talked about himself in the third person; it kind of confused me and was pointless.  He talks a lot more about writing his book than he does about his literacy, which makes it more of a good autobiography than a literacy autobiography. It taught me to not drag things on and to stay more on focus, with details.
