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.
