Answers
Answer:
The story, “The Boss Came to Dinner”, records a generation gap. Shamnath is an employee in an office. The chief of this office is an American.
Once, the boss visited Shamnath’s house on his invitation. Shamnath and his wife made an elaborate arrangement in assets and dinner in their house to host the guests. The guest was to arrive in the evening. The officer will be accompanied by a few other people. When Shamnath finishes arranging everything for the reception of the guest he has one problem. It is his mother. Both the husband and wife think to avoid her during the officer’s visit’.
The wife wants to send the mother to the neighborhood during the officer’s presence. But the husband wants the old mother not to be seen during the officer’s visit: The mother is uneducated and she comes from a rural background. She has no sophistication in the modern sense of the term but she is simple, tolerant and accommodating.
