A Thousand Splendid Suns: Analysis

Create questions you would convey the author and at least one of the people in the bulk. Include wherefore you would ask each particular question, and connect the question to a specific issuing (quote with page ) in the book. If I were to ask questions to the author and characters, they would be close their experiences. The one question I would ask Khaled Hosseini is, All the characters in this book were granted poetic justice, still why not Mariam?Mariam did nothing terrible to deserve feat 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 under which she lived in. Like a compass needle that points north, a mans accusing leaf 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 objurgate was an legitimate end to her life which had legitimate beginnings.Before her death sent ence, she recites lines from the record book asking for mercy and forgiveness which portrays her humbleness and her dedication to loved ones in her life. I would like to ask Mariam why she refused to call witnesses at her trial. why did she not try to escape with Tariq and Laila? Calling witnesses to her trial could have turn out to be beneficial to Mariam she might not have been sentenced to death except she didnt even try. Remembering the last time shed gestural her name to a document, twenty- seven years before, at Jalils table, beneath the watchful gaze of another mullah. pg. 364 There was still a slight hope left her, her dreams were to see Laila and Tariq happy and to watch Aziza and Zalmai grow further 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 would like to ask Khaled why was Laila not given a chance to attend university and complete her alternative 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 cessation she didnt have the desire to attend university. She had a good fortune 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 right away half restored though why would she risk the lives of her family members and their freedom they obtained in Murree. Its a good life, Laila tells herself, a life to be tha nkful for. It is, in fact, precisely the sort of life she used to dream for herself in her darkest days with Rasheed.
