A Thousand Splendid Suns: Analysis

Create questions you would ask the author and at least angiotensin-converting enzyme of the people in the book. Include why you would ask each particular question, and connect the question to a specific tear downt (quote with page ) in the book. If I were to ask questions to the author and characters, they would be about their experiences. The one question I would ask Khaled Hosseini is, All the characters in this book were granted poetic justice, but why not Mariam?Mariam did nothing monstrous to deserve execution her act of killing Rasheed was done in self-defense and the defense of Laila. Nonetheless, she suffered the shame and punishment from the government at a lower place which she lived in. Like a compass needle that points north, a mans accusing finger always finds a woman. Always. You remember that, Mariam. pg. 364 Even though Mariams execution was injustice in my eyes I believe that for Mariam her death sentence was an legitimate end to her aliveness which had legitimat e beginnings.Before her death sentence, she recites lines from the record asking for mercy and forgiveness which portrays her humbleness and her dedication to loved ones in her invigoration. I would resembling to ask Mariam why she refused to c in all witnesses at her trial. Why did she not try to escape with Tariq and Laila? Calling witnesses to her trial could have proved to be beneficial to Mariam she might not have been sentenced to death but she didnt even try. Remembering the last time shed signed her name to a document, twenty- seven years before, at Jalils table, beneath the watchful gaze of another(prenominal) mullah. pg. 364 There was still a little hope left her, her imagines were to see Laila and Tariq happy and to watch Aziza and Zalmai grow but just like that she gave it all up. Her life had not ended but she still acted as if there was nothing that could be done she herself gave up her hopes which contrasted her character at the beginning of the book. Lastly, I w ould like to ask Khaled why was Laila not given a chance to attend university and complete her secondary education?It is obvious in the early stages of the book that her dream is be educated and educate others so that she can play a womens worthy role in their society. Her young self is contradicting to what her character becomes. I wonder why after building her family and living in peace she didnt have the desire to attend university. She had a good opportunity and I feel it would have benefited her and her family a lot. One question I would ask Laila is why she wanted to move back to Kabul?Wasnt she done with all the suffering and painful memories she endured there? Where do we go from here, Tariq? How long do we stay here? This isnt home. Kabul ispg. 390 I realize it was her homeland, she grew up there and the Kabul they left during the war was now half restored though why would she risk the lives of her family members and their freedom they obtained in Murree. Its a good life, L aila tells herself, a life to be thankful for. It is, in fact, precisely the sort of life she used to dream for herself in her darkest days with Rasheed.
