The Ganguli's begin to become more accustomed to life in America. Ashoke has stop wearing tailored suits and Ashima makes American meals for Gogol. Ashima decides to have Gogol take classes to learn about the Bengali language and culture. This upsets Gogol because he will be missing his art class. Gogol and his class go on a fieldtrip and end up at a graveyard looking for their first or last name. Gogol realizes that he will probably not find his name. When he starts looking at some of the names on the graves he sees some very unique names that makes him feel proud of his own.
Question: Should Gogol feel ashamed of his name?

Gogol should not feel ashamed of his name. Even though he thinks he knows why he was named "Gogol," he doesn't know the complete reason, and that is why he does not appreciate his name. When he discovers why he TRULY was named"Gogol," he should appreciate it more and not feel ashamed of having an unusual name.
