Read the following poem by Saib-e-Tabrizi
KABUL
Ah! How beautiful is Kabul encircled by her arid mountainsAnd Rose, of the trails of thorns she enviesHer gusts of powdered soil, slightly sting my eyesBut I love her, for knowing and loving are born of this same dust
My song exhalts her dazzling tulipsAnd at the beauty of her trees, I blushHow sparkling the water flows from Pul-I-Bastaan!May Allah protect such beauty from the evil eye of man!
Khizr chose the path to Kabul in order to reach ParadiseFor her mountains brought him close to the delights of heavenFrom the fort with sprawling walls, A Dragon of protectionEach stone is there more precious than the treasure of Shayagan
Every street of Kabul is enthralling to the eyeThrough the bazaars, caravans of Egypt passOne could not count the moons that shimmer on her roofsAnd the thousand splendid suns that hide behind her walls
Her laughter of mornings has the gaiety of flowersHer nights of darkness, the reflections of lustrous hairHer melodious nightingales, with passion sing their songsArdent tunes, as leaves enflamed, cascading from their throats
And I, I sing in the gardens of Jahanara, of SharbaraAnd even the trumpets of heaven envy their green pastures
What images does the poet use to praise
the city of Kabul?

Tracing Rasheed’s character
Rasheed takes Mariam out and buys her a gift and ice cream
Rasheed engages intimately with Mariam
We can see how the day out and the gifts were almost like a bribe where Rasheed was softening Mariam’s mood for his intentions later.
Rasheed’s attitude in Ramadhan
What Mariam discovers in Rasheed’s room
Rasheed’s reaction to Mariam’s pregnancy
Rasheed’s attitude after the miscarriage
Rasheed’s violence at the end

Women and Education
‘Women have always had it hard in this country, Laila, but they’re probably more free now, under the communists, and have more rights than they’ve ever had before’. (BABI)
In the late 20th century, prior to the rise of the Taliban, women in Afghanistan were making strides toward equality as they enjoyed the right of education and employment (PBS.org). Kabul was the epicenter for women's advancement in Afghanistan prior to the Civil War and Taliban control" "50% of the students and 60% of the teachers at Kabul University were women, and 70% of school teachers, 50% of civilian government workers, and 40% of doctors in Kabul were women" (Feminist Majority Foundation).

How is the reader made to feel towards Rasheed in these chapters?

- An alternative interpretation or viewpoint
Chapters 29 -30
![Page 44: Extended Learning Activities You will be provided with a folder which contains the following: 1. A contents page of activities 2. The activities/questions.](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051820/56649f0d5503460f94c20b49/html5/thumbnails/44.jpg)
Model Example:
Rasheed’s ‘ performance’ whilst talking to Laila serves to heighten his manipulative character. Just as with Mariam, when they first married, he attempts ‘to impress’ and ‘to charm Laila in order to win her around to his side. When Rasheed tells Laila that he and Laila’s father would have discussions ‘about books (and) about politics’, as a reader we are made to see the devious side of Rasheed as we clearly remember him saying how Laila’s father ‘thought himself something of an intellectual’. Clearly evident here, is Rasheed’s calculating character.
Furthermore, the use of the word ‘staged’ that Mariam uses to describe Rasheed’s performance with Laila reinforces this calculated move by Rasheed as we as readers know that Rasheed will take something or will want something from Laila later, and this is his way of charming her. Perhaps, Mariam when the realisation comes to her ‘like a blinding whack’ enables the reader to sympathise with her and really see the deceit, manipulation and mental abouse that Mariam has had to endure for years.

Look at the imagery used to describe Laila. What effect is created by using the highlighted words?
In the daytime, the girl was no more than a creaking bedspring, a patter of footsteps overhead. She was water splashing in the bathroom, or a teaspoon clinking against glass in the bedroom upstairs. Occasionaly, there were sightings: a blur of billowing dress in the periphery of Mariam’s vision, scurrying up the steps, arms folded across the chest, sandals slapping the heels.
The phrase insinuates that Laila was very rarely seen as she kept herself away in her room. Furthermore, it makes Laila appear as though she is a mysterious and rare object who can only be seen by some and even then, very occasionally.

Now, look at the specific words used by the writer. What is suggested by these words? Why do you think the writer has chosen to use them?
In the daytime, the girl was no more than a creaking bedspring, a patter of footsteps overhead. She was water splashing in the bathroom, or a teaspoon clinking against glass in the bedroom upstairs. Occasionaly, there were sightings: a blur of billowing dress in the periphery of Mariam’s vision, scurrying up the steps, arms folded across the chest, sandals slapping the heels.
The use of the word ‘patter’ perhaps is used to reflect the idea that Laila is still only a child herself. Perhaps, through the word ‘patter’ it further reinforces Laila’s delicate, fragile, almost child like shyness.

What analogy does Rasheed
use to compare Mariam and
Laila? Why do you think he does this?

Why does Laila ‘fall from grace’ in Rasheed’s eyes?

Compare how Laila is seen in Rasheed’s eyes.
Laila is ‘in’ with Rasheed Laila is ‘out’ of Rasheed’s favour
