unit 2 week 3 quote

"I've managed to get transferred to the American embassy in Calcutta" (203). I believe this to be a very significant quote because you don't know anything more about the mother so far, that fact that she is getting closer and closer to Nick shows that she is going to be a crucial factor of Nick's survival of the Japanese control. This isn't implied, but I believe this because like with Bernard (Nick's step-father) she was metioned five times on two pages.
