Textuality » 3ASA Interacting
I think that the ideal reader of Lispeth was an English person who lived in India, or had only heard about it and wanted to inquire about the Indian people, beacsue in the first part of the story, the situation of Lispeth's family is described and by that he could understand thet a part of the indian population lived on the hills and their lives was based on the agricolture. The ideal reader could also be interested in the choabitation between the English people and the indian ones aand their cultural differences. About the try of the English yo build a pacific choabitation, it can be deduced by the presence of Christian mission, that wanted to convert the Indians, with the goal to bring the two population nearer on the cultural side. Despite all this, the story shows that building a choabitation isn't always easy when two culture are so different, Lispeth herself is an example of this, she was turned Christian when she was a little girl and she was also raised by the Chapelain of a mission and his wife, who were english, but in the end she felt betraided by them and returned to her people.
