Blog 5: The Interpreter of Maladies

In the short story "The Interpreter of Maladies," on page 16, Mr. Kapasi notes that Mr. Das's son is slightly paler than the other children. I believe this is foreshadowing that  this boy is getting sick, because Mr. Kapasi is an Interpreter of Maladies. The author focuses on this moment because he wants the reader to recognize that something is going to happen, and the child might become ill.
