To what extend can members of Manny´s family be descibed as typical 1st or 2nd generation immigrants?

I think not all persons of Manny´s family have the same view of culture. Manny has got a lot of problems with his family especially with his father.

I think that the family members from Manny´s family are the first generation immigrants. People from the first generation knew that they were not British. These people are just in the UK because the British goverment meeds factory workers, busdrivers and so on. In the UK they eam good money. They do not want to be british, because they identify with their culture, traditions and customs. Manny´s family live with the Indian Culture and this strong traditions. They do not like white people. You can say that they live in England but do not want to.
I cannot imagine to live in a country just because I could get a job there. It would be just possible if I like the country so much.

Manny is completly different from his family. I think he is the second generation immigrant. Second generation immigrants wants to be British, but they were not fully accepted from it he British people. They like the British. Manny goes to school because he wants a good education not just work in a factory. Manny´s friends also live in Britain. Ady is emigrated, too but Jeels fully British. Manny wants to be free and does not want to follow the strict traditions of the Punjab.

I also think that Manny does all these things to be in a completly diferent contract to his family. It is also a Protest to be free.
