From Lahiri's The Namesake, how can I analyze the first two chapters in accordance to my project?

I think that more specific detail about what your project
is to contain is going to be critical.  In the first two chapters, I think that focusing
on the fundamental different experience of child birth in both traditional Bengal India
and the cosmopolitan vision offered in America.  I think that contrasting the experience
of childbirth in both settings might be an appropriate point to examine in the first two
chapters.  For example, in America, the hospital as the setting in birth is in stark
contrast to Bengal, where the woman would be surrounded by other women in the family. 
The clinical approach to child birth collides with the ceremonial notion.  Along these
lines, the naming of the child as something that has to be done rather immediately in
the West, as opposed to holding a specific ceremony after some time has passed would be
an additional point of difference brought out early in the text.
