Strong distinctions between Manny and Mannys family

In this task we should write soemthing about why there might be huge differences between the family members regarding identity:

There might be huge differences between the family members regarding identity, because there mothercountry is a different one. Mannys father, and Mannys mother come from India. Mannys two brothers Harry and Ranjit also come from India (Punjabi). Manny is the only family member whose cultural identity is different. Manny is born in England. In the quotation on page 22 line 22-26 Manny says that England is his home, because he was born here. He can not imagine to live in India, because he does not know any places where to go. In England he knows how things work. Mannys roots are in England, and the roots of his family in Punjabi. I think that this situation is a very difficult one especially for Manny, because he has to live a life in which he is not involved and with which he can not identify. Perhaps when Manny was born in India, he has other roots. The other way around as well. The problem is that Manny should become ja Punjabi man altough he does not want to. His family especially his father ignores his real cultural identity.
