The novel follows two characters, Saeed and Nadia, as they escape together around the world, teasing each other and learning more about the ideas surrounding sex and its associated pleasure along the way. Through his word choice and character descriptions, Hamid portrays women in his novel as being more sexually inclined than men, taking control of the pleasure they want. It becomes apparent very early on in the novel that Saeed is a very chaste man who wants to refrain from having sexual intercourse with Nadia until marriage. This is witnessed through Saeed’s “a bit excessive a delay” (55, Hamid) in initiating sexual intercourse while in bed with Nadia, and his response of “‘I don’t think we should have sex until we’re married’” (55, Hamid) to Nadia’s comment on whether he brought a condom. However, both characters still explore ways to find pleasure, establishing the idea that direct sexual intercourse is not the only source in which to obtain pleasure.

Climate change refers to the long-term change in the earth’s climate due to the increasing average global temperature which is so-called global warming. It is estimated that climate change results in 600000 deaths worldwide every year, 95% of them occurs in the developing countries ( Conserve-Energy-Future, 2013). As catastrophic impact has been substantially created due to climate change, determining the leading causes to this phenomenon becomes a burning issue globally. Although some people suppose natural factors are to blame for negative alterations to the climate, I hold a strong belief that anthropogenic activities through industrialization and agriculture development are the dominant drivers of climate change.
