A thousand splendid suns

For the readings this week, Tax readings for a thousand splendid suns caught my attention while readings through the different themes in the story as well as a little chunk of the story. I enjoyed reading of the different themes in the stories, it made me interested to read the little chunk and even want to pick up the entire book once I finished.

While reading a quote that stood out to me was ” like a compass needle that points north, a mans accusing finger always finds a woman.” immediately seeing this quote it made me think of other readings I did in class as well as outside reading. women most times are accused of things they did not do but a man will continue to point fingers at them to make them look good. to get a better sense of the story I looked it up and would love to read this story, hearing of two women who marry the same man and become bonded to protect each other since they both suffer from abuse by him. this story is definitely important when talking about woman’s bodies, the themes it delves into of abuse as well as the power of two women being there for each other is an important read.
