connection to society

The society in A Thousand Splendid Suns is referring to the society of not so fortunate people in the world that we live in today. It is talking about how someone is born into poverty and they aspire to do something greater with their lives and they try and do that. It is just like the movie The Pursuit of Happiness, where Will Smith is born into poverty and he aspired to do something greater with his life and he fought for it and accomplished it. So just like Will Smith, Mariam aspires to be something greater when she was born on a lower scale and pushes to do so.

supporting character dinner

A supporting character to the main character in my story is Jalil. I would take him to the Precinct. I would go there with him because he is very rich since he owns a theater and he would want to eat at a very nice place, and that way I get a really nice meal for free. I would have a real nice and expensive steak to eat. I would go and take him out to dinner because he has ten children, not including Mariam, and then they would be all asleep so we would have no interruptions. They are worth my time and energy because he is a great father and he has a lot of money, so I would get a good night out of him and his money.

The main character in my story is a young girl named Mariam. She grew up in a small shack outside the city of Herat where she was know as a Harami (bastard child). She is very strong willed and dreams of a better world for her to live in rather than the very poor one that she was born into. When her mother died shortly after her birth, her father abandoned her and she was remarried to Rasheed. She hates her life with him and eventually kills him and then is executed by the Taliban for her actions. Her story is worthy of having it told because it is one how a very poor girl aspires to make changes in her life and not live like that her whole life. But her mother passes away and father leaves her and then she remarries. And then kills her husband. So it is a very interesting life story and deserves to have it told.

characters and their description

Mariam is Dakota Fanning because she played an amazing role in the movie Man on Fire and I feel like she would be the perfect fit in this story as well.

Jalil is Brad Pitt because throughout this book, he plays the part of a rich movie theater owner and a good father but oblivious to his family. I feel like Pitt would be a perfect fit.

Nana is Angelina Jolie because her and Brad Pitt always make good combinations together in movies and I think that she would be able to portray this character very well.

Muhsin and Ramin are Shane & Brent Kinsman because these two twins create chaos just like these two do In the story and who aren’t liked that much.

4th quarter book

i chose A Thousand Splended Suns by Khaled Hosseini. i chose this book because i did The Kite Runner for my senior research paper book and i really liked the way Khaled Hosseini wrote that book and i really think he is a great author. and throughout my research, this book always came up and was said to be a great book, so i thought i would read it for this assignment.

Throughout the Senior Research Paper process, there are many things that I liked, things that I hated, and things I wished I did differently. I liked how the entire paper process was split up into parts and evenly spaced out throughout a certain number of days. I liked how it was so organized; otherwise I would have procrastinated on everything.  I hated that there was so much research that we had to do and how many sources we had to cite in our paper. I wish I would have done a better job on my research and actually read most of the stuff that I got so I could have written a better paper.

                I recommend for the students next year to read and take all your time on research and find good sources and reliable ones. And just make sure you read the book.

The Cincinnati Bengals

The Cincinnati Bengals Problems..

                The quarterback for the Cincinnati Bengals for the last nine years, Carson Palmer, wants out. He has requested a trade so he may leave the team, but the owner, Paul Brown, has repeatedly said that he will not deal his franchise quarterback.  But almost the entire Bengals Nation wants Brown to deal Palmer. After the year he had last year, all the fans want to move in a new direction.

                So with the NFL Draft coming up, it looks like the Bengals will go with some type of Offensive player selection. They have the fourth overall pick in the draft. After the NFL Combine this past week, no quarterback seemed fourth pick overall worthy. They really liked Cam Newton and they are hoping for the opportunity to draft Ryan Mallet in the second round.

                So with their first round pick, all signs point to wide receiver A.J. Green from Georgia. All the analyst have said that he is the best piece of talent that they have seen since Randy Moss, and we all know how he turned out. He is one of the best receivers to ever play the game. So not a lot of people will argue with this pick here, especially with wide receivers Terrell Owens and Chad Ochocinco will most likely enter free agency or be traded. So with all the young talent they have at that position, they need to get a deep homerun hitter, and that is what they are getting with A.J. Green. So I cant wait for the draft to see what happens.
