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.
