Transmission
This text takes us to India to witness a discussion in a family. The daughter has got a new job, but the parents aren't very interested. All they can think about is the new and exciting job their son has recently got.
You can find out how the discussion develops if you read the excerpt from the novel Transmission in your textbook or the shortcut version also found there.
