- Singh Song
- Heritage
- Second generation immigrant. His father owned a corner shop.
- Stereotypes
- His first book was focused on the anxieties of being a person of colour in a white dominated society.
- Content
- Has an informal tone.
- Has a beat- perhaps relating back to the title "Singh Song" with song being the operative word.
- In the 5th 6th and 7th stanzas, he forgets completely abut his shop, showing that he has an almost "obsession" with his wife.
- It challenges stereotypes about "normal" marriages in Indian culture. His wife swears at his mother, makes fun of his father when she's drunk, and wears interesting clothes with an interesting hairstyle.
- Content, Continued
- The word used to refer to her eyes - gun - may mean to say that she is assertive.
- The word used to describe her figure - teddy - may mean that under her tough exterior, she is a softie at heart.
