IB1 - Oct. 28th

Are you surprised by Abbas's compliance with Hamida? Is this the right choice for him?

This lecture is highlighted as one of the most important elements of the novel - why do you think this is? Is there a theme in it? A global issue? Demonstrates things about the different characters?

One of the biggest points of the lecture is about learning to accept ones sorrows(which he highlights through the use of the Qur'an). Which characters do you think have learned to accept and live with their sorrows or positions?
