Our Narrative.

Broken Bridges

Exposition

The Bansal family have been running a fabric shop for many generation in their household. there business is very successful and very well known especially in there neighbourhood. There shop is based in a neighbourhood where everyone knows everyone. So it is a tight community. The shop is also based on a high street, a road where there are plenty of other shops too, mainly Indian cultural ones. 

Agents of Change

A new white male has moved in the local area. He seems like the odd one out as he is the only white person in the area, he feels the difference and so do all the other characters. he feels out of place so he keeps himself to himself, he doesn't really have an interest in socialising with anyone else, he always walks around with headphones in so other people don't really have the chance to try and talk to him. 

Conflict Complication

He then goes into the Bansals family fabric shop as he needs change for a twenty pound note.  Once he enters the shop he looks around intrigued, he walks around the whole shop and then he notices the Bansals eldest daughter on the side stocking the shelves. He then walks over to her and they begin talking, they end up arranging to go out on a date. She knows if she tells her brothers or parents they will not let her go so she decides not to tell them knowing that her parents wont approve because of the cultural and racial differences. 

Elaboration

She then goes out on several dates with him and they are getting quite serious. Weeks later the arranged another data, but they got there her brother was there waiting for her. As he heard her talking on the phone to him and thought he should catch them in the act. Then a huge argument happens and the brother takes his sister home and tells their parents. Her parents are so disappointed, and forbid her to go out. The white male came into the shop every other day to try and convince her parents to let them be together. They ended up kicking him out of the shop, as they were embarrassed at how the whole street knew their business. One day she secretly packs her bags and gets out the house at night and they end up eloping and running away. this causes even more problems for the family.

Climax and Resolution

The parents track her down and beg her to come home even if it means with him. They end up coming home and both sides make peace. They have to live with him as they didn't want there daughter to get a divorce as it would cause the family more shame. They end up teaching the man the ropes to the business too, it has effected their business slightly. 

Coda

Now there is peace in the Bansal household, even though she is married to a white man they have cooperated and learnt to put up with his mannerist's. there is till some slight diversion but it is calm.
