Will be waiting to hear from you all, it means a lot to me.Wednesday, OctoAdorable and Emotional: A Very Large Expanse of Sea by Tahereh Mafi Posted by Rashika “If the decision you’ve made has brought you closer to humanity, then you’ve done the right thing.”Īnyways, what did you all think of my post? Have you all read this book? What did you people think about it? Tell me in the comments below. It is interesting and we learn a lot through it. Overall, this book deals with important issues and pulls it off very well. I also love how Shirin’s family is portrayed – it throws light on how Muslims really live and what they really are and not just what society portrays them to be. He never left – no matter how hard things got and that is what I loved most about him. There were many struggles but he was there for her through it all. He loved her and so he did not let go of her no matter how hard he pushed until she finally accepted him and opened up to him. He tried to reason with her but agreed to let her do what she wants – such as not letting him drive her to school. He gave Shirin attention and accepted her wishes. This book throws light on how society reacts to the minority and how shallow minded we all can be. It makes me really what a privileged life I have led and how lucky I am to not be discriminated against like that. I don’t think I could have ever survived that. In this book, I see how horrible people can really be and it makes me really sad to see that. the majority and no one ever comments on me from my skin colour/religion or anything else. She’s a survivor and she makes it through it all.
She’s rude because that’s just how she goes through life. She wears the hijab because she wants to and no matter what others say – she will do it because she wants to. It’s 2002 and in the aftermath of 9/11 she is discriminated for wearing a hijab but she never lets others dictate what she does. She did not let anyone discourage her or put her down. Shirin, the protagonist was strong and she went through life head-on.
