Namesake Questions


As Gogol mourns his father’s death, what great qualities of his father’s character come to mind? What connection was there between him and his father that he now appreciates more than ever before? How might his father’s memory give him a firmer grasp on his own identity in the years to come?


When Gogol is mourning his fathers' death, he remembers all the great times he had with his father, all the time he was always there for Gogol. I feel like Gogol appreciates his father more now because he has become less embarrassed by his name and his family and he learns that his family is the closest thing possible to him and he can’t take that for granted because some day they won’t be there anymore. Gogol learns to appreciate his family and culture more after his fathers' death because he sees how important it was to him and is to his mother.
