In "When Mr. Pirzada Came to Dine" by Jhumpa Lahiri, Mr. Pirzada gives Lilia candy every time he visits her and her family, and Lilia keeps the candy in a special sandalwood box that once belonged to her grandmother. To Lilia, the candy symbolized Mr. Pirzada's hope that his family was okay, and she saved and ate the candies in a manner of prayer  because she had faith that his family was safe and being taken care of.

Explanation:

However when a writer opposes one's own argument, it is usually for the purpose of including all point of views and aspects of the problem. In most of such cases the author negates (presents counter of counter argument) to finally establish one's original argument.

In this passage, the author is trying to establish the importance of making seat belts mandatory by law in each state of the United States. However in line 4, he presents some other people's point of view on this issue. And in line 5, restates his/her original argument. The overall effect, the author is trying to bring about in the audience by including the counter argument is that, he/she has already considered the counter argument as well.
