Mrs. Sen cooks for Eliot, takes him to the park, and they are always in conversation.]]> 2019-05-01 14:17:22 UTC https://padlet.com/20lee/eqco4573e89c/wish/355798946 20lee https://padlet.com/20lee/eqco4573e89c/wish/355800232 Mrs. Sen misses India. She misses her family, the culture, and the upbeat environment. 

"Here in this place where Mr. Sen has brought me, I cannot sometimes sleep in so much silence." 

Mrs. Sen is referring to the United States. Cities in India are loud and the streets are full of people. ]]> 2019-05-01 14:20:17 UTC https://padlet.com/20lee/eqco4573e89c/wish/355800232 20lee https://padlet.com/20lee/eqco4573e89c/wish/355801962 Mrs. Sen buys fresh fish to cook at home. Mr. Sen goes to the market and buys them for her. 

As she spends more time with Eliot, he inspires her to be more independent. One day, she and Eliot take the bus--without Mr. Sen--to the fish market. On the way home, a stranger complains about Mrs. Sen smelling of fish. Offended, Mrs. Sen decides that next time, she will take the car and drive herself. ]]> 2019-05-01 14:23:55 UTC https://padlet.com/20lee/eqco4573e89c/wish/355801962 20lee https://padlet.com/20lee/eqco4573e89c/wish/355803463 Mr. Sen teaches Mrs. Sen how to drive and gives her lessons every day. She had a chauffeur back in India. Mrs. Sen hates driving; the traffic is confusing and the drivers are too reckless.]]> 2019-05-01 14:27:03 UTC https://padlet.com/20lee/eqco4573e89c/wish/355803463 20lee https://padlet.com/20lee/eqco4573e89c/wish/355807456 Mrs. Sen, in hopes of avoiding another situation like what happened on the bus, decides to drive Eliot and herself to the fish market. A driving mistake caused her to crash into a pole. Although the damage was minimal, she decided to quit driving. ]]> 2019-05-01 14:35:02 UTC https://padlet.com/20lee/eqco4573e89c/wish/355807456 20lee https://padlet.com/20lee/eqco4573e89c/wish/355809127 After the accident, Eliot's mother fires Mrs. Sen. She hopelessly gives up on finding a babysitter for Eliot. She also decides that Eliot will be just fine without one, considering how self sustaining he is.]]> 2019-05-01 14:38:35 UTC https://padlet.com/20lee/eqco4573e89c/wish/355809127 20lee https://padlet.com/20lee/eqco4573e89c/wish/355810858 Upon hiring Mrs. Sen, Eliot's mother shows disapproval of her.

"She refused a biscuit every time Mrs. Sen extended the plate in her direction, and asked a long series of questions, the answers to which she recorded on what a steno pad."

Eliot's mother was happy to fire Mrs. Sen. She never grew to like her.

"His mother was satisfied with the arrangement and in a sense,  she confessed to Eliot as they drove home, she was relieved"
