In this chapter, Foster discusses the importance of viewing a story from the perspective of the character. This accounts for fully understanding the character’s background and weighing that with the current occurrences. After taking into account Laila’s familial and religious background along with her new situation with Rasheed, this passage has a lot more weight. In the situation Laila is in right now, she likely feels repressed and alone. Because of this, she confides in her memories with Tariq.
Aside from the fact that he is not sure if he will ever see him again. Rasheed pushes Laila into a wedding with him. She is pregnant with Tariq's baby and wanted Rasheed to think it's his. She made a cut in her finger and put blood on the bed, to make him believe that she is a virgin. It informs readers that if she wants to make the best life possible for her child, she must sacrifice about whom the father
Laila Ali decided to go to her dad 's Beverly Hills motel suite in late January to get his blessing. Mrs. Ali possess and pronounced that she desired to box, to follow in her father 's footsteps and possibly one day take home some six-figure reward. Laila Ali, who is 21 years old and her both hands suffered a great deal of scars from her prior work in the ring, Laila mentioned that she did not realize how to start, so Laila was sitting down across her famed father and exclaimed it out. Mrs. "Ali said to her dad that she is going into pro boxing, and she said to her father that she loves him very much, she just wanted his comfort and his support, she said that even if he didn 't get his support, she was goint to box
But in a matter of seconds that changed, she was orphaned and brought in. She was later forced to marry a man she never really knew and begin a life with him, a complete stranger. Laila was no longer really loved, until her and Mariam gained each other’s trust. She was just
But even though the consequences are harsh, Mariam knows that she has to follow through with it, for if she does not, Rasheed would kill Laila. She does not wish to kill Rasheed but Laila is one of the only true friends Mariam has ever had. Mariam does also not want to have one of the few people that bring her happiness, to be taken from her. These two acts demonstrate what it truly means to have courage, even in the hardest of times. Caring is something that seems to come rather naturally for both Laila and Mariam.
In this scene Laila was bold because she was a small woman going up against a strong man. Laila sacrificed her relationship with Rasheed just to save Mariam which in the future would strengthen her relationship with Mariam. It is obvious that Laila throwing herself in the middle of Rasheed and Mariam was the best reaction because it helped Laila and Mariam’s future connection. Another example of Laila’s sacrifice is when she had to take Aziza to an orphanage because they were running low on money. The Taliban didn't let women go out on their own so if Laila wanted to visit Aziza she had to take Rasheed with her.
The war and prejudice against women in Afghanistan changes everything for Laura. Her parents die in a bombing and she is left to find her way and determine her fate by herself. Just like Mariam, she is married and like fate would have it, as a second wife by Mariam’s husband, Rasheed. Laila however bears two children for Rasheen unlike Mariam who has none and is treated much differently from Mariam. He compares her to a brand new first-class shiny Benz.
At this current point, Mariam, the other main character, came to terms with her demoralizing life and marriage. For years, she endured a troublesome marriage with Rasheed, a rather conservative and short-tempered man, that ranged from verbal abusement to fatal-like torture. The marriage ultimately faltered because of one discrepancy: Mariam’s infertility. Rasheed has endeavored numerous times to bear a son after his first son drowned before Mariam’s marriage. Without a single male offspring, Rasheed has lowered Mariam to a lower rank, one that is clustered with picky disappointments and inhumane practices.
Her husband happens to become Rasheed. He finds Laila unconscious after a bomb went off, dissipating her entire family. Rasheed then takes her in and nurses her back to health. He feels that because he saved her, he should be rewarded, “The way I see it I deserve a medal”. Rasheed later practically forces her to have sex with him.
When Mariam unexpectedly killed Rasheed, Laila was terrified by what had happened and Mariam “had Laila lie down, and, as she
She knew how much of an abomination killing her husband would be to society, but she loved Laila enough to risk the punishment. Instead of running away from Kabul with Laila, Mariam stayed behind so that Laila would never get in trouble for killing Rasheed. She was then arrested and later shot for murder (371). Mariam sacrificed her own life so that Laila could marry Tariq and live happily and freely with her family. She gave up everything, even her life for those whom she loved, even though they biologically were not her children.
Rasheed however asks her to wear a burqa before going out. He makes it very clear to Mariam and later on to Laila, that a “woman 's face is her husband 's business only”. However when Mariam fails to bear a child, after several miscarriages, Rasheed begins to torture her both physically and mentally. Rasheed also becomes cross on Laila when she gives birth to a girl child. Later on Laila gives birth to a boy, but this does not improve her status in front of Rasheed.
The character that I chose who best would adapt to a new media is Tante Lou. I chose Tante Lou because she is not the main character but an important character in the novel. She is important as she was able to help and change the main protagonist, Grant Wiggins which later leads to solving the conflict and leads to the climax and conclusion to the novel. In the novel, Tante Lou is a very serious, persuasive, confident, tough, determined, hardworking and a very stubborn person which will be needed, to be behaved by Tante Lou in the adaptation. There are many great examples in the story which she demonstrates these traits.
Nelly Cootalot: The Fowl Fleet Despite being twenty six years old at the time of writing, The Secret of Monkey Island is still one of the best titles in the point & click adventure genre. It has obviously been since surpassed in terms of visuals and audio, but the brilliant humor and clever puzzles still cements its position as a true classic. It also means that you have to be pretty brave as a developer to release a pirate themed point & click adventure. Undeterred, comedian Alasdair Beckett-King has forged ahead and created Nelly Cootalot, a swashbuckling pirate themed adventure with undeniable Monkey Island influences.
